Alberta to announce new public-health measures amid highest COVID-19 rates in North America

restrictions on Tuesday as it struggles to respond to an explosive third wave that has left the province with the highest infection rates in North America.said public-health measures are being ignored by too many people in his province, including the organizers of a weekend rodeo that doubled as a protest against the rules. Many cities in Alberta have also had regular anti-lockdown protests and more than a quarter of Mr.

There were 154 people with COVID-19 in intensive care as of Monday, exceeding the peak of the second wave in late December, though Mr. Kenney said the province has the capacity to accommodate many more. Health-care officials say they can expand to 425 ICU beds if needed. The province now has the highest rate of new infections of anywhere in North America and stands in contrast to provinces such as Ontario, Quebec and British Columbia, where infections are falling. Compared with G20 countries, Alberta would rank second just behind Argentina.Ontario had at least 889 people in intensive care as of Monday, a slight decrease from a day earlier, though the Health Department cautioned that about 10 per cent of hospitals did not submit data over the weekend.

Alberta has yet to see the same crisis in hospitals as places like Ontario, though experts have warned that it’s only a matter of time before the province’s hospitals are pushed to the brink. Alberta has prepared aif hospitals are overwhelmed, though health officials say they don’t believe it will come to that.

Mr. Kenney has focused on rolling out vaccines, which he cast as the province’s ticket out of the pandemic and to the “best summer ever.” The Premier announced that teachers and school support staff would be eligible for vaccines as of Tuesday after weeks of rejecting the idea of giving them priority, and he said the government would lay out the final phase of the vaccine rollout for the general public later this week.

While Trudeau's federal advisers advise off in all directions, the media scolds about how provincial Conservative governments are failing to find the right alchemist to make empty vials into Pfizer vaccines.

The Trudeau Liberals federal vaccine plan is using a social justice template where every effort is made to support agitation by special interest groups to have their members vaccinated in priority to all others.

Good luck

Hmm so their Premier recovered from learned helplessness? Kenney always seemed like a large part of their problem so I am super unhappy that every danged day news from there causes me to pity him.

More action less whining

Alberta sucks.

Alberta and Jason Kenney are the Brazil and Bolsonaro of the north, and Albertans are paying for it with their health and their lives, as Brazilians are.
