Local data in to back up the unsupported speculation I made back in early August that children would be the most vulnerable to catching Delta.
Looking forward to finding out what studies show are the reasons and how it lines up with that speculation.
Big age bracket there with 18-39.
Backed up by this guick slice of what's currently happening in Saskatchewan with new cases.
BC school boards are taking their own initiatives to expand on provincial restrictions as needed.
Some good news as September closes out, the daily cases in the province are lower than 30% below the 1200/day predicted by modeling at the start of the month and covid ICU numbers continue to go down.
The comparison with Alberta is getting too lopsided to keep up regularly anymore.
The decision was in last week on which province had the policy failure in pandemic response.
A rep in the AB gov tried to pin the fault for the near overcapacity of the ICU on AHS CEO Verna Yiu, not the lack of covid policy from the government. That lady and Alberta health did amazing work expanding the system to handle what it has had to so far and kept the death rate as low as it is in those circumstances with those patients. Reporters were wondering why the AB health services CEO was appearing at news conferences earlier in the month when apparently no other provincial CEO has. Now it's looking like it may have been an attempt by the sitting government to shift blame as much as possible.
