One of the most disheartening 80 secs I have ever seen on Twitter (which says a lot) from our unelected #Alberta premier @ABDanielleSmith. Let's set the record straight about #COVID therapeutics in #AB. 1/ Alberta institutions and researchers played a large role in developing and testing COVID-19 therapeutics, as well as rapidly reviewing emerging evidence from around the world which continues to come out at incredible pace.

My take on #alberta #covid #OpenForSummer plans...

The good:
Alberta numbers are way down from the peak of wave 3 a few weeks ago. The drop has been sharp in response to public health measures as well as increase 1st dose vaccination rates, now almost 60% for age 12+.
1/ We are seeing a resulting drop in new hospitalizations, although we are just off peak numbers of people still in hospital and in ICUs. Unfortunately many of these patients will take time to recover, some will have chronic sequelae and others will not survive to discharge.

1. Wondering why it is so important to act now to limit the spread of #COVID19 in North America? Most countries are on the same trajectory. What you see in the most affected countries in Europe we will see here unless we do something different.

A doubling of cases about every 3-5 days. This is remarkably consistent in western countries. Including Canada. ourworldindata.org/coronavirus
