I was thinking about how shitty the road was as I was flying down it at 30km/h in my service loaner.

Trying to figure out how the goal posts will move later this week. In April the government said 48% vaccinated is the threshold to move to the next phase, we passed 43% today and if we maintain 50k a day will hit 48% by the weekend.

I think it's pretty unrealistic to try and hold the government to what they announced back in the first week of April. The latest restrictions just took effect today and will expire on the 31st, do you think it's realistic to try and hold the government to institute the Stage 1 items starting tomorrow when we hit 48%? I can't even fine a reference to "The Path to Recovery" on their site anymore, so it's probably safe to say it's scrapped. If we can maintain 45k doses per day, that gives us 64% of the 12+ population with at least one dose by May 31 when the restrictions expire, so maybe easing in the second week of June?This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member.

Well, there was some talk of that level of vaccination plus hospitalizations below something and decreasing.This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote
But yeah, we are close baybeeee.

But wasn't that also contingent on numbers going down? Basically any path forward is going to require that first, I imagine.This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote

It was back on April 12th. The graph had end of May for 48%, end of June for 64% and Mid-September for 72%. Unfortunately for them, vaccines and dosing has ramped up.This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote
It will be interesting, they are going to find themselves in a bit of a pickle come the end of May with the restrictions expiring. They'll need to decide if they stick with their plan in the form of the date or in the form of vaccine numbers, because by that point we will have hit the 64% required for Stage 2. Saying that they'll only do Stage 1 with 64% immune immune isn't going to fly with a lot of people and even if they change their definition of immune to only include first doses and count the entire population, it buys them about 10 days before we're at 64% using that methodology.
36% is entire population and vaccine only.This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote
Back when they announced the vaccine milestones for reopening, they were using "protective immunity", which is made up of first doses and recovery, using the eligible population as the denominator.
Using those parameters, we're actually at 47.6% today.

Where are you getting your stats?This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote
From what I can find (May 9th data), Canada is no where near comparable to what the US has done for vaccinations:
- First doses ~14 million doses in Canada vs US 152 million doses (39% vs 46.3%)
- Fully vaccinated ~1.2 million in Canada vs 114 million in the US (3.3% vs 34.8%)
I like neat cars.
I said 1st doses in my post, so its your first listed point. And Canada's 7 day average is doing 0.79 doses per 100 people per day currently (with majority of that being only 1st doses) but that has been rising rapidly thanks to our increased shipments. This week and next we'll see quite a few days over 1 dose per 100 people so by the end of next week (12 days away) we'll get quite close to the 50% mark of 1st doses. The US on the other hand has been slowing and is at just 0.23 1st doses per day so by the end of next week they'll get to ~49% give or take. Hence Canada should pass the US.This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote
That being said, the US just approved Pfizer for 12+ so hopefully they see a uptick in doses again as a result.
Canada data:

US data, 1st comment:
https://www.reddit.com/r/Coronavirus...id19_vaccines/
This stuff becomes such convoluted BS. So the Alberta site claims we are about 43% with one dose. The Covid tracker site claims 36%. None of this seems to mention if this is based on total population, or on population eligible for vaccine.
The actual numbers are 1.6mil first doses administered. If you look at our adult population it's about 3mil, meaning it's about 50% vaccinated. If you want to include children and use the 4 million total population number, then it's damn near 40%.
Needless to say, ICU cases are dropping, the evidence we see from the US is that we are very close to a number that will see our cases begin to rapidly decline now, but here we are entering a new stage of lockdowns and controls.

AB site is 43k doses per 100k people, some of which were used for second doses. Alberta has 318k people fully vaccinated with both doses (highest in the country).This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote
If you take those 318k extra doses out that's why it drops to 36% having at least one dose.
All of those figures are per total population, not eligible people as that is gradually changing such as the recent 12+ approval.
lol who the fuck cares which country gets to 50% first. Was that an attempt at a feel good, give yourself a pat on the back post or something?
How is it even fair to compare Canada to the States when they have 300 million more people than us? Do I really need to point out how much more difficult the US' job is compared to ours?
I would pay good money to see Trudeau beg the world for vaccines if he had 330+ Canadians under his watch. I wonder if he would offer other countries free yoga lessons taught by his wife like he did with his liberal staffers.
It's more of a bench mark of our progress. If the US is fully open with no masks or controls of any kind at 50% vaccinated. It stands to reason that we should be in a similar spot given we reach the same percentage.This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote
If they don't open up when we hit 50%, then I hope people have their pitchforks ready. It's already disgusting to be in a 3rd lockdown with hospital metrics as good as we have.
It really pisses me off when people keep tossing the word lock down around as we have never been in a lock down. We have only been put into heavy restrictions.This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote
And I don't even consider them heavy just more of a nuisance.
Everyone with two brain cells knows we aren't actually being locked down, it's just easier to type/say "lockdown" than "Put under heavy restrictions".
