I used to work with a guy who talked about the difference between strategy and tactics. I think a lot of our COVID talk has tended to focus on tactics; what are we doing now, what are we doing next, what works, and what doesn't. I don't think we talk about strategy that much. Talk of herd immunity has fallen off, and our summer re-opening turned out to be too optimistic.

Vaccination impact numbers for Manitoba, now Sep 19-Dec 4.

Data is now public, but thanks to @ScottBilleck for sharing earlier to make this possible!

Relative rates for unvaccinated ppl, adj for population:
- new cases 5.0x
- hospitalizations 6.7x

#Covid19MB #covidMB Image Variation over time shows the jump in hospitalizations among unvaccinated people in week ending Dec 4.

I've adjusted the dotted-rate lines to match the long-term averages on the first tweet. Hoping to communicate how things are changing relative to the average. Image
