Alberta’s children too young to get vaccinated excited to be part of experiment’s control group

EDMONTON – Alberta’s children too young to be vaccinated expressed excitement after the government announced a new, province-wide study of what would happen if all COVID-19 public health measures were lifted despite the likelihood of a fourth wave. “Oh boy, I love experiments!” said 7-year-old...

I might have three kids going back to the classroom. Thankfully, the oldest is fully vaccinated and middle kid can at least get her first shot this month.

Mine's well enough under 12 not to be able until phase 3 trials are done and Health Canada gives approval. But the flip side is the isolation and distance learning has already lead to serious enough regression that it's already affected her scholastic future. For some parents, the choice to send kids back is a double-edged sword, and for the most part the province has done nothing but half-assed, cheap and last-minute measures. Even what was announced yesterday falls short yet again.

Those suggesting kids aren't really affected haven't been paying attention to how this virus is mutating.

I think we're probably seeing burnout of unvaccinated in some rural areas, combined with increasing vaccinated numbers.

New York City will soon require proof of COVID-19 vaccinations for anyone who wants to dine indoors at a restaurant, see a performance or go to the gym, Mayor Bill de Blasio announced Tuesday

BC/Alberta are Canada's Texas and Florida. I know people in Vancouver who are still refusing to get the vaccine because they "eat healthy" lol what a bunch of idiots.

Cases and more importantly hospitalizations and deaths remain higher than Aug 2020. We’re still well in the woods.

Ontario is reporting 213 cases of #COVID19 and nearly 23,500 tests completed.

I know someone refusing to get vaccinated. Their reasoning? "I have an immune system."

0.9% positivity. ICU is flat at 110.

But excuse me while I throw something as the province continues to willfully mis-report statistics.

From today's report, the section on deaths below:

So there were really 2 new Covid-related deaths, but they reported 14.

SMH.

So did the millions who died of the 1918 Influenza, many of whom were healthy children and young adults with strong immune systems.

Deaths are a bit different than active cases though. Especially considering we're counting deaths "with Covid-19" rather than deaths "from SARS-COV-2". I can imaging rural coroners being too overwhelmed during that time period to get blood samples out in a timely manner, etc.

Right, but the correct way to handle any late results statistically is either to re-state the incorrect data, on its original day, or to apply an * in the notes to show the discrepancy.

Reporting the numbers on the wrong day changes trendlines and forecasts and messes the data stream up badly.

Yes, their statistics are TERRIBLY misleading the way they deal with the inevitable data-cleanups.
