Statistics Reminder: people over 70 and clinically extremely vulnerable people are overrepresented in cases (because those are the ones who are allowed to get PCR tests), and hospitalizations/deaths (because they are most vulnerable). They are also the exact demographic which has been getting boosters, so it is possible that that cohort is doing better now… Continue reading week ending 2022-05-26 BC

The federal vaccination by age over time chart is now getting updated every other week, so you only get the wastewater chart. Why do I make a post that is so small? Because wastewater data — noisy as it is — is one of the most meaningful data sources which we have. The case data… Continue reading 2022-05-20 BC tiny

I want to make a cautionary note about the stats. For about six weeks now, the over-70s and clinically extremely vulnerable have been eligible for second boosters. Note that those are also the only group which is eligible to get walk-in PCR tests, so the only ones (aside from hospital admits) who show up in… Continue reading week ending 2022-05-19 BC

Press Briefing There was a press briefing on Tuesday, which didn’t actually say much. The major announcement (which was echoed in this press release) was that they have finished getting data from 17 of the 18 Colleges of regulated health care professionals about their vax statuses. Aggregated by College: physicians and surgeons: 98.0% dieticians: 98%… Continue reading week ending 2022-05-12 BC

So.. I uh, never published this last Friday because I kept waiting for the federal vax page to update the vax-by-age-over-time charts to update… and they never did. They still are not updated. So here’s just the wastewater chart. Charts From my buddy Jeff’s wastewater spreadsheet: As a bonus, here’s the variant breakdown, from Friday’s… Continue reading 2022-05-06 on 2022-05-11(oops) BC (tiny)

As near as I can tell, things did not get a lot worse this week. The indicators seem to say that the situation is plateauing in BC. Hospitals This article says that nurses want to talk about how dire the situation is in the hospitals, but that whistleblowers are being retaliated against. Treatments This article… Continue reading week ending 2022-05-05 BC

Okay, folks, I am now willing to say that we are in the middle of a big wave that nobody is talking about. There are currently 570 people in hospital with COVID-19, and the pre-Omicron max hospitalizations was 515 (on 28 April 2021). This is bad. Yes, yes, some of them are there “with” COVID-19… Continue reading week ending 2022-04-28 BC

There are several charts with come out on Fridays, so I will make this tiny little stub of a blog post just for those charts. Charts From my buddy Jeff (who says that yes he collects manually, but it’s cut and paste so unlikely to be numerically incorrect)’s Google Sheet: See also the Lower Mainland… Continue reading 2022-04-22 BC (tiny)
