That general population bar has me very confused about what that graph is actually measuring.

I think it means total percentage of the population who are that age... Not an actual stated number of people. Then the next is the percentage of those who have Covid, then who are hospitalized etc.

I think the general population bar is there to represent how many people are in group to the number of covid impacts.

If you compare 18% of cases are in 30-40 year olds to 9% of cases are in 80-90 year olds it makes it seem like more young people are getting it.

So you need the gen pop numbers to know that 15% of the population is in the 30-40 range (+3%) and 4% are in the 80-90. Based on that you can determine an old person is about twice as likely to get it, even though the number of cases is less.

I think the covid case number etc represents the percentage "of" that age group who catches it... Not percentage of population overall. Maybe that is what you meant too lol. Now it seems a little less easily digestible haha!

239 new cases today; no new deaths,

With context of 3300 tests.

If you are in close contact with someone tested positive. You now just got yourself a 14 day isolation even if you are tested negative.

well they also fixed their datacenter issues so approx 100 of those cases were from last 3 days. They also said they were going to test everyone at all the long term care facilities across Alberta (unsure if they meant residents and staff).

These are some kind of interesting stats to see laid out... I don't think surprising, but at least it is broken down in digestible language.

This seems to mirror some info I heard the other day, of the deaths in Canada 90% of them were in people aged 60+ and 60% of all deaths were residents of long term care facilities. I can't recall if I heard that on the radio or TV but it was one or the other.

So they should be aiming for 65 percent?

It was said awhile ago that there would be a time that we will look back and think the whole thing was an over-reaction. That means we did a good job and not being dismissive.

The US might be an example of returning to normal too quickly. Hopefully not but they're looking a bit overzealous...

If we don't go into another great depression, it will be worth it. If we do, not worth the extremes we've taken to save the few.

There is a call out to people to come to hospital if they are really sick. A lot of people are avoiding hospital due to COVID.

Wait, people are only using Emergency Rooms for emergencies??? What has this world come to??!?!?!!11111

Good morning all.

I'm now wondering if Canada will get out of this with less carnage than the USA. As the toll mounts, there no doubt will be some regional differences due to a number of factors, not the least of which is healthcare quality. Will Calgary its elevation and ultra devastating UV sunlight prove to be factor? Worship the sun, extra life points.

As far as potential disasters, Calgary is really a nice spot to be for a viral outbreak - on paper.
