With the opening of rapid flow-through vaccination centres around the province, including two 'mega clinics' in Alberta's largest cities, the premier expects the province to be 'back to normal' in the fall.

EDMONTON -- With the opening of rapid flow-through vaccination centres around the province, including two "mega clinics" in Alberta's largest cities, the premier expects the province to be "back to normal" in the fall.

With the opening of Phase 2C vaccination eligibility on Monday, as well as rapid flow clinics in Fort McMurray, Grande Prairie, Red Deer, Lethbridge and Medicine Hat, Kenney said the province is on pace to administer 300,000 doses each week. Part of the boost to Alberta's inoculation plan are two "mega clinics" in Edmonton and Calgary which are expected to give up to 1,000 shots per hour.

"It's very simple. We have to see the numbers start to come down. Right now, they're going up at a pretty alarming pace. Right now, we're on track to hit probably 2,000 average daily cases in the near future, and quite possibly 20,000 active cases. Based on the active case to hospitalization ratio, that would imply about five to six hundred people in hospital," Kenney told media on Monday.

Alberta also predicted that blowing $1.5B on Keystone was the proper course of action.

B.1 will knock anything with 2 legs in the ICU ... or in dirt ... no bs.

So many doomsday folks, what is it like to live without hope?

the former guy said churches would be packed in 2020

Hahahahahahaha......... ok

That’s because they will have herd immunity by then.

If there is one thing I have learned during this pandemic: the virus does not do what you want or expect, and we don't predict, we react. The thing could be gone by Sept, or we could be in phase 17b. Why would anyone put a virus on a timeline?

It’s actually scary now when this UCP. government makes predictions.

Masks are helping with allergies and common cold, so I’ll keep it up!

Still need to keep the habbit of wearing a mask when it's flue season to keep emergencies open. We need to wake-up!

Inb4 we gotta move the goalposts again.

Just like a child making decisions.
