You guys are doing a lot better now, as are we

Maybe continuing the lock down beyond January 21 is a good idea......but I'll need to go to a hair salon in February.

875 new COVID-19 cases along with 23 new deaths..



Alberta has started running out of COVID-19 vaccines, with supply completely used up in parts of the province and other regions having to reduce appointments to ration remaining doses for vulnerable populations..



Premier Jason Kenney said during a Facebook Q&A that the government now expects to get the vaccine to the general population in May or June, depending on supply.

We are both on course for a likely  moderate decrease in week ending Friday .. albeit surprises do happen



We are up a bit today 519 .. more vaccine supply expected imminently



Canada also have 20 m more doses than expected before starting end of March...   (pfizer, as moderna would be later) but they seem to now be able to handle it well now



Damn he's been so slow to commit ... 2 new candidates expected in a cpl of weeks and we do have dibs on them

Do you mean 20 million doses will be in Canada by the end of March?

[cc]

No. That new total begins end of March and ramps up from there



Example from BC (5,070,000 people) .. proportional to population in all provinces



Dec - March - 792,675 doses)



April - June (2.64 million)



July to Sept (6 million)



More and quicker than originally, but Trudy's  turtle-speed to commit is still killing the country (The stunned cnt counted on China of all countries in the world ..  and they broke the agreement leaving him with his dk out .. and us along with him .. like as tho anyone would want a China product in our arms



Overall shameful .. In a real world it would cost him his job  ... but Canada Is not in the real world



It will likely increase from the above due to 2 other vaccines coming on line and we do have dibs on both

[Anonymous]

So, those twenty million will not arrive all at once.

[cc]

No. They will start late March or so

[Anonymous]

Realistically, my family won't be vaccinated until September.

BC Health is warning that people who contracted Covid 5 months ago, may be able to contract it again without knowing and pass it onto others



I would assume that if one has a good quantity of antibodies they would be safe? .. not sure



Antibody tests are now available via Lifelabs with Dr's written approval and $75



I really searched, but cannot find any info on "quantity"  .. .as in do they give quantity and what quantity level means infection unlikely etc.



Will ask my Doc next time I talk with her

Johnson & Johnson AKA Jansen  .. are ready to roll out in March



We do have some dibs on it so it will help Canada get done sooner

Johnson & Johnson began human tests of its potential coronavirus vaccine in Belgium and the U.S. in July. A final phase, involving 60,000 volunteers in eight countries, commenced Sept. 23. Modelled after a successful Ebola vaccine, the Johnson & Johnson candidate is unique among the front-runners in that it can be administered in a single dose.

Canada announced Aug. 31 that it has signed a deal with the company to secure a supply of its vaccine candidate, should it be approved by Health Canada. On Oct. 12, the company announced that it had paused the final phase to investigate whether a study participant's "unexplained illness" is related to the shot.

By mid-November, the trial was back underway and recruiting new volunteers.https://www.ctvnews.ca/health/coronavirus/vaccine-tracker-the-top-contenders-to-stop-the-novel-coronavirus-1.5034350">https://www.ctvnews.ca/health/coronavir ... -1.5034350">https://www.ctvnews.ca/health/coronavirus/vaccine-tracker-the-top-contenders-to-stop-the-novel-coronavirus-1.5034350

We will get at least 2 other vaccine products added to the known 2 being used now + more Pfizer than previously mentioned

We had 536 new cases today - for the last 6 days leaving us at (1,067) less than last week with 1 day to go.



We have 2 cases of SA variant and are trying to contain it



Alberta 967 .. (1,171) running below last week with 1 day's reporting to go



Manitoba 261 & Saskatchewan 312 ... Ontario 3,326







25,00 new doses of Pfizer "just arrived" and Moderna is expected tomorrow - likely proportional with all other provinces



Data is being examined to see if one vaccinated effectively and is  protected from the virus "can" get infected and not feel it, and  pass it to others. Moderna data indicated that it does not .. but further data study is ongoing



EDITED as Alberta just reported

[Anonymous]

Alberta Health confirmed 967 new cases of COVID-19 on Thursday with more than 16,000 tests were completed over the last 24 hours..
