572 cases of #COVID19 in B.C. today, the lowest number since March 20, as B.C.& #39;s curve continues to bend down at a VERY encouraging pace.
Hospitalizations down to 481, and zero new deaths.

33,068 people given a vaccine shot in B.C. yesterday, 1,412 of which were a second dose — highest number since early March.
Stilllllll waiting for that ramp up in daily numbers which *should* happen very soon now.

Because of a data correction, the charts record negative three #COVID19 deaths in B.C. today.
(the province says there were zero)
As you can see, it doesn& #39;t change the rolling average all that substantially for the moment.

It was three weeks ago that we reached the two-week mark of new restrictions in British Columbia. Since that time:
- Rolling average of new cases down 36%
- People under active monitoring down 33%
- Active cases down 31%
- Rolling average of new cases down 36%
- People under active monitoring down 33%

B.C.& #39;s "it& #39;s a race between the variants and vaccines!" metaphor wasn& #39;t wrong.
It& #39;s just that there was a month where the variants were clearly winning and B.C. wasn& #39;t responding quickly enough.
As a result, we had 4-6 really frustrating weeks. https://twitter.com/jburnmurdoch/status/1389617547935420423">https://twitter.com/jburnmurd...

Now that B.C. is closer to being back in the driver& #39;s seat, following things are important:
- Will future variants be less efficient against the vaccine?
- What is the efficiency of vaccines more than a month after one shot?
- Can people follow guidelines for 1-2 more months?
- Will future variants be less efficient against the vaccine?
- What is the efficiency of vaccines more than a month after one shot?
- Can people follow guidelines for 1-2 more months?
If we get positive answers to those questions, we don& #39;t need a lot of modelling — we can see the numbers in Israel and the United Kingdom on where things are headed.
But there& #39;s still work and uncertainty ahead.
Keep making smart decisions.

No, you& #39;re wrong.
(As are many who centre their analysis on testing, rather than rolling averages, hospitalizations, and deaths.)
There were five days total last month where we tested between 12-13K a day.
Been between 10-11K generally since. https://twitter.com/JeysonWolf/status/1390079052862529538">https://twitter.com/JeysonWol...
