COVID-19 levels are pretty stagnant. It is impressive and disheartening to me how little the number of people in hospital with COVID-19 has budged since January (November if you throw out two outliers).
Statistics
As of 7 March, the BC CDC situation report says that in the week ending on 2 Mar there were: +433 reported cases, +111 hospital admissions, +17 ICU admissions, and +9 thirty-day all-cause deaths*.
In the week ending 24 Feb, they now report that there were +466 reported cases, +126 hospital admissions, +19 ICU admissions, and +26 thirty-day all-cause deaths*.
For comparison, in the previous update (2024-03-01) they reported that for the week ending on 24 Feb there were: +464 reported cases, +112 hospital admissions, +17 ICU admissions, and +18 thirty-day all-cause deaths*.
*All-cause deaths in people who had a positive COVID-19 test in the prior 30 days, that is.
There were 155 people in hospital and 14 in critical care with COVID-19 on 7 March.

(Yeah, Annacis went way down this week, but it had gone way up in February. Wastewater just seems to be inherently wobbly.)
