I think Manitoba is still low.

Yes, Manitoba was 179 today & 139 yesterday. You guys have got control of it now



UK, US, France, Texas & Florida were all down  for past week ending today .... Canada up about 20,727 for the week





We were up 1,300, Alta up 1,370, ON up 5,500



But, all of us down in deaths



We cracked 1 million vaccine doses today

BTW Fash, I apologize for yesterday not picking up that you meant "currently" with regard to our catching the US in proportional rate of cases .. my "duh" moment



Today we have 1,262 & 2  .. definitely up in cases  but not as much as some others & we all are experiencing significantly lower death / case rates

No probs....I thought that was it.

Disposable face masks are flooding into the oceans, which could release dangerous microplastics into the environment and our food.

https://www.cbc.ca/news/health/coronavirus-variants-risk-canada-covid-19-1.5982323">Coronavirus variants are testing the limits of what we once thought was safe in Canada



The rapid spread of more contagious coronavirus variants across Canada is driving a devastating third wave in much of the country and increasing the level of risk in situations previously thought to be relatively safe from COVID-19.



 Experts say the risk of exposure is higher in everyday situations and the margin of error is lower for what we can and can't do safely until more Canadians are vaccinated.



 "The things that you've gotten away with previously, and that you've put into your mindset that were safe ... it wasn't that they were safe, it's that you got lucky," said Erin Bromage, a biology professor and immunologist at the University of Massachusetts Dartmouth who studies infectious diseases.



..... they may also transmit for longer periods of time in infected individuals and bind to our cells more easily — providing more opportunities for infected people to spread the virus.



"The virus is still transmitting the same way," she said. "What's different is likely that either the people who are infected are releasing more virus over a longer period of time or it's possible that it takes fewer of those viruses to make you sick." [ Or Both ]



 The number of confirmed variant cases in Canada has skyrocketed in recent weeks, rising from about 2,000 a month ago to close to 17,000 this week and counting, with more than 90 per cent of those being the B117 variant first identified in the United Kingdom.



 "That luck — it's like rolling dice."

 The P1 variant first discovered in Brazil is also on the rise in Canada, with cases doubling in the past week to more than 1,000 — mostly in British Columbia, Ontario and Alberta.



 And the B1351 variant first found in South Africa is also picking up steam, with more than 150 cases identified in Quebec, more than 70 in Ontario and more than 50 in B.C. as of Thursday.

Alberta recorded 1293 cases today.

Ontario 3,813 new today .. They have lost control of it

I remember at the start of the pandemic, you thought Shen Li was foolish for not taking the virus seriously.

Before it became apparent that it was a massive scam, I did.
