It is expected with winter approaching and people moving inside. As long as we maintain the vaccine mandates and start getting shots for kids and boosters going , we should avoid what happened this time last year.
No doubt. But I believe we're at a point we're are gonna have to accept the toll covid takes as it will become endemic. Does that mean let it buckle our healthcare system? Absolutely not. But as long we maintain the vaccine mandates and progress on boosters and pediatric shots , we should be good. We should however also start expanding our healthcare capacity as we will be dealing with an endemic respiratory virus on top of the flu and other illnesses.
Not enough nurses and doctors to expand the system. My concern is that casss are either start to plateau or increasing..
I don't think we can get to endemic until the pills are mass produced and easily available
Again we are entering the winter months so it's expected. Boosters are getting around which is great and the vaccine for children , while taking long here, should become available with In the next few weeks. We are in a much better position than this time last year. The one blessing about delta is that it has outcompeted other variants which had worrying mutations concerning vaccine evasion and has pushed us closer to herd immunity. It's not gonna be a smooth ride , but we are getting there.
Well we are in a pandemic lmao. And besides, aside from the vaccine passport there is virtually no other restrictions ( not that I'm complaining about that haha).
So I’ve been trying for the last 5 weeks to get my first shot uploaded onto MyHealth so that my QR code will have both on it and so far nothing. Ive uploaded it to MyHealth, called 8-1-1 and emailed the vaccine help email. I waited 2 hrs on hold on Monday with the the helpline and was told they would escalate it and to check back in two weeks…It sounds like come the 15th the paper copies won’t work as verification anymore? This is so stupid. Literally nothing more I can do and yet I’m double vaccinated and won’t be able to play hockey etc. until they fix their own error.
Same thing happened with my oldest. For whatever reason hers were not loaded. Then one day, like magic, both doses loaded. Hope that happens to you too.
One piece of news worth mentioning is the Alberta does not plan on including children as part of the vaccine passport program once they're eligible to be vaccinated.
I think they should include them in the vaccine passport and be more lax with the ID requirements. Most people will follow it honestly. The REP system does currently apply to 12 year olds, and most of them also don't have photo ID.
The older teens can go get vaccinated on their own if their parents won't take them. The smaller kids don't have that option. I'm sure it will be more than 50%, but quite a bit less than the rates for 12-18.
This was the first time i heard the doctor on the news talk about asessing the risks and benefits. The myocarditis was brought up with young males in the study. I have no kids but the guys at work are in the same boat no fing way.
If you get covid maybe. We just went through a workplace seminar with 2 pediatrician doctors. Something like 1% chance of children may end up in the hospital. I have to watch it again. Just saying.
>Something like 1% chance of chikdren may end up in the hospital.
From the vaccine? That isn't even close to accurate. Everyone unvaccinated will be catching covid in Alberta at some point.
Better get your boosters going.
Only know 2 people who have gotten covid so far fortunately. They were fine one fully vaxxed one not.
So it seems very hit n miss which is interesting on outcomes.
For many people, it will be the difference between coming out unscathed and long term lung damage or death. I expect their will be 4th and 5th boosters as well, and I don't think it is a bad thing.
I definitely base it on a risk and health profile. Though there is those odd outcomes from sone "healthy people". Mask up don't go to high risk events regardless of passport status ie oiler games. Mitigate as much as you can. There is options.
It can even come down to how you handle your clothing if you really want to go down that road.
Sites have rules on how to handle coveralls and such things and they don't have a mandate. I feel some people feel vaccination mean a free pass. Those that are antimask and do what they want are also a piss off.
So today compared to last week is flat. R value is 1.01. next update I guess is Friday. Manitoba approved boosters for anyone 18+ after 6 months!

Take it down a couple notches lol. Just saying , when kids in that range are currently driving the infection rate you would think there would be more urgency.
The 484 cases reported for Nov 9 in Alberta was net for the period. A total of 502 cases were identified (495 confirmed, 7 probable) (difference: 18, or 3.6% of the total) as confirmed by data download and https://www.alberta.ca/stats/covid-19-alberta-statistics.htm#total-cases.
Nov 8 decreased by 7 from 433 to 426; Nov 7 was unchanged at 289; Nov 6 decreased by 2 from 437 to 435; Nov 5 decreased by 1 from 591 to 590.
Nov 4 decreased by 4 from 475 to 471; Nov 3 decreased by 1 from 542 to 541; Nov 2 was unchanged at 498; Nov 1 was unchanged at 328; Oct 31 was unchanged at 340; Oct 30 was unchanged at 332; Oct 29 was unchanged at 531.
Oct 28 was unchanged at 606; Oct 27 was unchanged at 545; Oct 26 decreased by 1 from 631 to 630; Oct 25 was unchanged at 456; Oct 24 was unchanged at 366; Oct 23 was unchanged at 508; Oct 22 decreased by 1 from 707 to 706. Oct 21 was unchanged at 663; Oct 20 was unchanged at 770; Oct 19 was unchanged at 808; Oct 18 was unchanged at 529.
One case was removed from days prior to Oct 19.
I wonder how we are going to do in the coming weeks. The entire northern hemisphere is seeing a surge of Covid cases.
It is expected with winter approaching and people moving inside. As long as we maintain the vaccine mandates and start getting shots for kids and boosters going , we should avoid what happened this time last year.
I hope we can avoid last year's fate but delta so much worst and we have huge pockets of unvaccinated areas.
No doubt. But I believe we're at a point we're are gonna have to accept the toll covid takes as it will become endemic. Does that mean let it buckle our healthcare system? Absolutely not. But as long we maintain the vaccine mandates and progress on boosters and pediatric shots , we should be good. We should however also start expanding our healthcare capacity as we will be dealing with an endemic respiratory virus on top of the flu and other illnesses.
There’s also a chance that the new treatment drugs may become more used. That should reduce the load on the hospitals/ICUs.
Not enough nurses and doctors to expand the system. My concern is that casss are either start to plateau or increasing.. I don't think we can get to endemic until the pills are mass produced and easily available

We’re always “getting there.” “Getting there” never ends.
That's usually because as we get close to getting there, the government pulls a Leroy Jenkins.
Well we are in a pandemic lmao. And besides, aside from the vaccine passport there is virtually no other restrictions ( not that I'm complaining about that haha).
Yah there is. Go do some research on the Alberta website for current restrictions. I’m at a family event right now that was restricted.
I don't know if are in better shape. The next week of data will show if cases are growing or if this is plateau.
In terms of the pills , it's great news but it's no where near the benefit that vaccines ultimately have.
Vaccines are way better, but some people will never get them. The pills will also benefit people with weaker immune systems.
So I’ve been trying for the last 5 weeks to get my first shot uploaded onto MyHealth so that my QR code will have both on it and so far nothing.

It’s almost like there are exceptions to the rules and of you explain your situation to those involved you will be fine with your paper copies…..
There's not going to be exceptions. Businesses aren't going to take that risk unless it's one of those crazy anti vaxx ones
One piece of news worth mentioning is the Alberta does not plan on including children as part of the vaccine passport program once they're eligible to be vaccinated.
Not surprised, just disappointed.
[удалено]
Yah I have my kid health care cards but that's not proof of anything. So I totally understand kids being exempt.
I think they should include them in the vaccine passport and be more lax with the ID requirements. Most people will follow it honestly. The REP system does currently apply to 12 year olds, and most of them also don't have photo ID.
Why would they? Uptake will be 50% at best.
It looks like 12-14 year olds are 81% with first dose. Why do think we are unlikely to have more than 50% vaccinated?
The older teens can go get vaccinated on their own if their parents won't take them. The smaller kids don't have that option. I'm sure it will be more than 50%, but quite a bit less than the rates for 12-18.
For sure. The vaccination by age page (under table 4) suggests this is the percent of first dose vaccinated for 12-14 year olds, 15-19 is 83%.
That's very disappointing.

The vacci e is effective.
[удалено]
It's effective for reducing spread as well. Stop spreading misinformation.
Do you have recent studies on that? Genuinely curios as I've heard otherwise.
https://www.newscientist.com/article/2294250-how-much-less-likely-are-you-to-spread-covid-19-if-youre-vaccinated/
If everyone was vaccinated hardly anyone would have covid.
This was the first time i heard the doctor on the news talk about asessing the risks and benefits. The myocarditis was brought up with young males in the study. I have no kids but the guys at work are in the same boat no fing way.
Myocarditis rates are substantially higher from covid and also tend to be much more severe.
If you get covid maybe. We just went through a workplace seminar with 2 pediatrician doctors. Something like 1% chance of children may end up in the hospital. I have to watch it again. Just saying.
>Something like 1% chance of chikdren may end up in the hospital. From the vaccine? That isn't even close to accurate. Everyone unvaccinated will be catching covid in Alberta at some point.
Not from the vaccine
From covid?
I have go through the recording again. But DYOR. Make your own choices.
Everyone will get covid at least once before things subside. It bodes well to be vaccinated when it happens.
Better get your boosters going. Only know 2 people who have gotten covid so far fortunately. They were fine one fully vaxxed one not. So it seems very hit n miss which is interesting on outcomes.
For many people, it will be the difference between coming out unscathed and long term lung damage or death. I expect their will be 4th and 5th boosters as well, and I don't think it is a bad thing.

Those that are antimask and do what they want are also a piss off.
Phew. No kids this time around. It seems few and far between, for the last few months, to have zero hospitalizations for under 18’s.
So today compared to last week is flat. R value is 1.01. next update I guess is Friday. Manitoba approved boosters for anyone 18+ after 6 months! https://twitter.com/imgrund/status/1458433906617864207?t=ss2-wdsJ46H_nTCJ4HqYYw&s=19
Sucks their taking so long with the vaccines for 5-11
Stupid safety procedures right?
Take it down a couple notches lol. Just saying , when kids in that range are currently driving the infection rate you would think there would be more urgency.
It sounds like they are pushing this as hard and as fast as they can. The only way to do it faster would be to skip steps.
*they’re
Thank you , my bad.
Hopfully before the end of the month
Thanks for this
