Hearing word that *French courses* are on the chopping block at @uofg. I seem to recall Laurentian cutting French too. Media folks (ones who don't uncritically parrot admin talking points) might want to explore that.

I don't understand the minimizer/centrist talking point that dismisses hospitalizations as "incidental" infections. They're not hospitalized due to COVID but they're bringing it with them to where vulnerable patients are, or they're getting infected at the hospital.

1/
There is no circumstance in which more COVID in hospitals good. At best, it's less terrible that people are "only" taking it with them to, or picking it up in, hospitals. COVID infection will not make any condition better. Hospital-acquired infections are especially deadly.

2/
Hospitals dropping mask mandates, immunity waning, immune-escaping variants, and booster uptake being very low are all concerning. Yes, the signal is lower in Canada this summer than it has been for over a year -- because it has been way too high for over a year.

Go ahead and let your guard down, folks. Wastewater is low. Hospitalizations "with" not "from". Mostly old people. Many peaks, each one labell...
Again, it's good to have a significant lull after more than a year of a very high baseline with no breaks. But we used *expect* this in summers (2020, 2021). It's only after our worst year of the pandemic (thanks to "mild" Omicron) that we celebrate it now.
Also, with Omicron, risk of long COVID is higher with reinfection than with first infection.

Dori, You forgot about long...

Just once I'd love it if it were not an exhausting swim against the current to get the least bit of support for a great idea. "At @uofg, we're deeply committed..." indeed.

I really want us to be able to do this (same model as our pandemics course), but we can't get traction.
For context, we ran an extremely successful (and not expensive), "massively multidisciplinary" panel course on pandemics in F20, W21, and F21. 1,000 students took it. 500 alumni joined in. 90 colleagues from across campus participated.

2/
Twice that course almost didn't happen because of bureaucratic barriers and lack of support. We want to do one next on centering Indigenous experiences, but we've been hitting a wall once again.

Asteroid sizes are the best. Football fields? Olympic-sized swimming pools? Not on @AaronReich's watch. Try penguins and (half) giraffes and eggplants. 🧵

Case numbers aren't reliable anymore, but wastewater and hospitalizations are still informative. (I used wastewater in Ontario and hospitalizations in the UK as 100% correct early predictors for several waves in Canada).

What do these look like in Ontario this summer?

1/
GOOD: Wastewater signal in Ontario is at its lowest point since the first "Omicron" wave in late 2021/early 2022.

In 2020 and 2021, we got very significant lulls in the summer, but the baseline was high through all of 2022, including last summer.

Check your specific region in the weekly provincial update, or consult your regional public health office if they have wastewater info, but overall it looks like a 2020/2021-style break for now and not a 2022-style high tide that won't come down even though it's summer.
