Severe #covid19ab outcomes for babies, children, and youth:
• 1 new hosp., incld. 1 ICU for under one
• 2 new hosp. for 1-4
• 2 new hosp. for 5-9
• 6 new hosp. for 10-19 The count of pediatric hospitalizations is now getting very close to doubling what we had total for the entire pandemic before the beginning of the 5th wave.

Currently to date we've had 917 hospitalizations for youth, versus 475 on Dec. 12 when the 5th wave began.

A deeper numbers dive into 2021 school outbreaks:

With the school #covid19ab outbreak threshold changed from an absolute value to a percentage this year, we're going to see a lot less outbreaks even if schools have the same number of cases. 🧵👇 Thus far from the 13 outbreaks publicly announced, using 2020/2021 enrollment estimates, the schools range from 65 to 839 students with the median school size ~240. This is well below the overall median of ~320 for all schools in Alberta.

Rodeos and #covid19ab? Probably not what you think, or at least not for all Rodeos. A thread:

Looking at the active cases post Alberta Rodeos gives us some interesting results. As the data shows, only one Rodeo stands out and was the La Crete Rodeo in the High Level LGA. We can compare this again with the vaccination rate versus the growth rate (max active at 21 days - active at the start of the Rodeo) and La Crete stands out as an extreme outlier.
