We will likely soon see a rise in COVID cases & subsequent healthcare utilization in 🇨🇦, driven by the XBB.1.5 sublineage of Omicron.
Similar surges were seen in late Dec 2020 (ancestral strain) & Dec 2021 (Omicron, BA.1).
👇 from US CDC
New data show the #COVID19 variant #XBB.1.5 is projected to make up 40.5% of COVID-19 cases nationally. See thread below for what we currently know and on what you can do to protect yourself.

[1/2] Prepare to be blown away! Ventilation helps protect against the spread of #Covid19. You can run kitchen or bathroom exhaust fans continuously at low speed and with open windows to improve ventilation in your home.🌬️

“The health measures have to align with the health threat – the health threat is clearly abating and the measures should abate as well.”
To be fair, @BogochIsaac doesn't think we're ready to lose masks. I think we are based on dropping hospitalizations.

Getting immunized does not imply that you can throw caution to the wind! Continue masking, avoid others, do not go into public places ie restaurants, sports or other public gatherings; or allowing friends and family into your immediate location!

Not just BC..... Across Canada. Primary care is poorly designed.
Doctors of B.C. had been looking to the budget for signs of funding to keep the doors of family practices open.

Let’s not forget that the story of Canada and COVID-19 is one of unity and community. We are a world leader in vaccination rates and health outcomes, as well as economic recovery and job creation. Canadians did this – together.

Canadians,
I think we all need to hear this tonight:
If we had not protected ourselves and each other from COVID-19, more than 500,000 of us would have died.
WE have collectively saved more than 500,000 lives.
WE did this. Not leaders. US.
THIS is who we were and still are.
