I know more people with COVID currently or who have had COVID in the past 14 days than in the past Delta or Omicron waves and my circle is pretty small.

I've heard this from a few people now. For me January/February was when that happened. Nearly everyone at work, family, home and on my hockey teams had it then.

Today is the first day of Alberta's new weekly release of data. Also, the number of active cases is no longer anywhere on any of the pages.

Our wastewater data is around where we were Dec 20th, when we had ~1700 new cases a day. Hospitalizations declined by a whopping 10 in the past week, when they were declining at a rate of ~ 100 per week previously. I suspect next week they won't change much, or will rise. This leaves little space for hospitalization growth, not having recovered from the previous wave. Good thing we were patient removing measures...I'm not sure this bad boy is done for spring.

Hospitalizations are actually down by 20 over the last week. The reported number today, 956, is to the end of the day March 21. The previous Monday, March 14, the number was 986.

OK, sorry misread that. It's still a 5 fold decrease in the rate.

CDC is saying 971,000 deaths in US, but WorldoMeter is suggesting they have passed 1,000,000.
Crazy fact"ish" of the day.

BurningYears skewing the wastewater data. It all makes sense!

Wasn't this basically the Omicron wave we just went through? Relative to the number of cases (which we were undercounting by a huge margin), hospitalizations per positive were lower than with more virulent strains and an unvaccinated population.

I think the best hope is that there is strong previous Omicron immunity that slows it down, and those getting sick don't get more sick if they catch it again.

Maybe I wasn’t comparing the dates right. My impression was that Omicron didn’t take over until part way through this previous wave, which is why hospitalizations were still relatively high. I’m hoping this one has lower hospitalizations.

I think the question for how this wave behaves is what was the penetration of Omicron. If it hit 30% of people that’s still a lot of people who haven’t gotten it. If it hit 70% of people then we will be in better shape this wave.

We know there has been about 200,000 reported cases since Christmas most of which were Omicron. If the estimate of only 1 in 10 cases having been caught is accurate that means about 45% of the Alberta population has had Covid in the last three months.

Another unknown factor is how long you can go before re-infection. Haven't seen much on that.
