An average of 830 #COVID19 cases a day over the weekend in B.C., as the province's trendline continues to fall.

Equally encouraging, hospitalizations appear to have plateaued (though at a still too high rate).

17 deaths over the last three days.

Today's chart.

An average of 31,102 people were given a vaccine shot in B.C. over the weekend, similar to the previous two weekends.

The last big test for B.C.'s ability scale up its vaccination campaign comes next week, when Pfizer supply will double.

We're now into the period where deaths will reflect outcomes of the 3rd wave.

Cases more than doubled from the relative lows of early February, and not surprisingly (though tragically) deaths have also doubled.

Hospitalizations plateauing makes intuitive sense, given all we know about lagging effects at this point.

But they're still overly concentrated in Fraser Health.

And it's still frustrating that steps weren't taken earlier to avoid this 3rd wave.

Since the peak of B.C.'s 3rd wave:

- Rolling average down 21%
- Active cases down 19%
- People under active monitoring down 24%

And we've seen what's happened in countries where more than 50% of the population has gotten at least one shot.

I will also note we're 10 days past the beginning of the weekend with really nice weather, where some people got very upset at folks gathering outside and predicted a surge.

Overall policy frameworks and trendlines are more important than highly visual anecdotal incidents.
