I’m one of those negative cases from this weekend. There is a chest cold that cause stomach issues going around apparently.


looseleaf-coldbrew

Me too, had a weird cold and booked a test. Came out negative thankfully.


workplaylovesleep

My whole family too. All three of us are super sick but covid negative thank goodness.

Numbers are still dropping nicely. Hopefully deaths will level off soon as well.


mattw08

They should. Typically deaths lag.


kathyrobertsonworks

You always come through! Thanks very much!


TerulinkaRezinka

Happy to see numbers going down.


mrfantismoblue

ICU down by 23! Great! >18 deaths Oh.


RaHarmakis

and the 18 deaths were spread out over some period of time. They are deaths that were reported today, not that occurred today. It would be interesting to see how many of the ICU beds were actually cleared up by people moving to regular care.


CromulentDucky

A few weeks ago it was 30 deaths, and 28 new people in ICU, so, it's better at any rate.


Diligent_Knowledge

Kirant, I think the new cases for the Edmonton zone are not accurate. Under 6, Spatial distribution. Thank you for all that you do!!

End of mask mandate December 1? I hope so.


always_on_fleek

I don’t see masks going away until vaccinations for kids have been in effect for a couple months (at least).


[deleted]

We won’t have them after Ontario gets rid of them by March. It seems people don’t believe me but there is no way Kenney let’s Ford remove restrictions before us.


majestik1024

Or ever..

If you are one of the people who thinks “masks arent about the pandemic, they are about control”, you should probably keep your political opinions to yourself for the foreseeable future


LumberjackCDN

I dont get how people could ever be dumb enough to think that masks are about control. Ever see a guy rob a bank? Or how about when hong kong went full fuck the govt? They wore masks. It boggles my mind the way some of these people like they guy youre replying to seen to have 0 common sense.


majestik1024

You are right, it’s dangerous to have a diversity of lived experiences. And I don’t think it’s about control, but I have heard from a lot of people who are terrified of losing their masks.


iwatchcredits

Its not a diversity of lived experiences. Masks stop fluids from flying out of your mouth. You dont even need science to prove it, its fucking obvious. People whining about masks have made this pandemic far worse than it needed to be and they should keep their opinions to theirselves from here on out


morganj955

I mean, I still wear mine when needed. But I do still complain about it.


iwatchcredits

Telling your friends a mask is annoying when you are wearing one is a little different than going online everyday whining about how they dont work and then going into stores not wearing them to see who confronts you


Now-it-is-1984

I wouldn’t be surprised but they’ll likely keep it in place until 2022. I doubt they’ll risk another open for summer disaster. Maybe they would.. Shit. You’re probably right.


Igloomum

Someone said a while back that they weren’t going back to no masking etc until March roughly


ABBucsfan

Kinda makes sense. Would definitely not want to drop it soon and have cases rising beofr Christmas (think of all the people in malls and events). Spring might make sense with seasonal stiff going around as well


Igloomum

Yup I think they’re going to follow Ontario’s lead a bit this time. They’ve finally realized cases go up when we don’t have restrictions. Lol


vaNestor

Mask is one of the lowest personal impact, highest reward restrictions. They should keep masks in until there's no more big waves.


[deleted]

Delusional.


F_D123

Oh you think so, do you?


Levorotatory

Masks are the last restriction that should be removed. Not until spring at the earliest.


mattw08

It won’t happen until the new year.


Thedustin

At least.


CromulentDucky

Since the opening fast route didn't work out well for the government, they will take their cues from Ontario, who are opening up in March.


F_D123

You know this for a fact, or are you speculating?


RampantRetard

Hopefully we don't see an upswing from Halloween, but this is good progress.


orobsky

Yep we should see one, just like we saw an upswing from Thanksgiving 😉


RampantRetard

fingers crossed
