FrostyWinnipeg Posted December 27, 2021 Report Share Posted December 27, 2021 (edited) Manitoba announced ~2,154 new cases of #COVID19 and 8 more deaths over the three days ending Monday, Dec. 27, 2021. Active cases: 5,724 Total caseload: 75,717 Recovered: 68,615 Deaths: 1,378 Weekend daily counts: Saturday: 785 (new record) Sunday: 694 Monday: 675 The seven-day average daily #Covid19 case count in Manitoba is now 593. That is a new average running high. These case counts are likely under-representations, given the delay in test processing and the limited capacity to test everyone who has been exposed or is symptomatic. Five-day Manitoba #COVID19 test-positivity rate: 19 per cent (new record) Winnipeg rate: 21.2% (new record) Tests completed Sunday: 2,542 1,463 Winnipeg 240 Southern 229 Prairie Mountain 176 Interlake-Eastern 46 Northern Manitoba #COVID19 patients in hospital: 158 (up 23) In ICU: 40 The latest Manitobans to succumb to #COVID19: - A Southern man in his 20s - A Southern man in his 30s - A Winnipeg man in his 30s - A Southern man in his 40s - A Southern man in his 50s - A Southern woman in her 60s - A Southern man in his 60s - A Prairie Mtn woman in her 90s Edited December 27, 2021 by FrostyWinnipeg Tracker and Noeller 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Super Duper Negatron Posted December 27, 2021 Report Share Posted December 27, 2021 Given the testing backlog and the fact they said to just stay home if sick, the numbers are basically meaningless at this point. Noeller and WildPath 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rebusrankin Posted December 27, 2021 Report Share Posted December 27, 2021 Stefanson actually said she can't be everywhere and that she was spending time on year end interviews (its at about 46 minutes into the presser on the government site). What a useless individual. Why not drop retail capacity to 50%? Make it so you have to wear a mask at all times in gyms? Just off the top of my head.

Tracker Posted December 27, 2021 Report Share Posted December 27, 2021 The double-vaccinated are barely protected from omicron — but those with boosters are in good shape= A UK study into omicron has alarming findings for the double-vaxxed — and good news for the triple-vaxxed Since the omicron variant was first discovered in the United States last month, many scientists have been fearful that the variants' many unique mutations compared to its peer variants (including delta) might make omicron more adept at evading existing vaccines. A new study validates those worries, but also provides a splash of hope for those who have received their booster shots. In the article in question, researchers from the Imperial College London COVID-19 response team found that vaccine effectiveness against omicron is between zero and 20 percent for those who have been fully vaccinated with two doses of vaccine. That effectiveness range, zero to 20 percent, may sound dismal. But for those who also received a booster shot, the findings for vaccine effectiveness against omicron were much, much rosier. Specifically, those who had received three shots — meaning the two-dose vaccination plus a booster shot — saw a vaccine effectiveness of between 55 percent and 80 percent against the omicron variant. The vast gulf between the two ranges suggests that a booster shot is crucial to protection against the omicron variant. The findings also reinforce the public statements of some public health experts, including former FDA commissioner Dr. Scott Gottlieb, who have stated that they believe the COVID-19 vaccine should be a three-dose, not a two-dose shot. Certainly, three-dose vaccines are not unusual; Cuba's COVID-19 vaccine, which has 92.4% efficacy, and the HPV vaccine, are both three-dose vaccines. The double-vaccinated are barely protected from omicron — but those with boosters are in good shape | Salon.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tracker Posted December 27, 2021 Report Share Posted December 27, 2021 CDC Recommends Cutting 10-Day COVID Isolation Period In Half U.S. officials say the guidance is due to growing evidence that those with COVID-19 are most infectious in the two days before and three days after symptoms . U.S. health officials on Monday cut isolation restrictions for Americans who catch the coronavirus from 10 to five days, and similarly shortened the time that close contacts need to quarantine. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention officials said the guidance is in keeping with growing evidence that people with the coronavirus are most infectious in the two days before and three days after symptoms develop. The decision also was driven by a recent surge in COVID-19 cases, propelled by the omicron variant. Early research suggests omicron may cause milder illnesses than earlier versions of the coronavirus. But the sheer number of people becoming infected — and therefore having to isolate or quarantine — threatens to crush the ability of hospitals, airlines and other businesses to stay open, experts say.

Tracker Posted December 28, 2021 Report Share Posted December 28, 2021 I cannot find the source of this information, but it appeared credible: even vaccinated patients receiving treatment for cancers have a 300% grater chance of morbidity or mortality than the general population if they contract any of the COVID viruses. Another good reason for these people to rigorously isolate and for others to both wear masks and keep their distances.

FrostyWinnipeg Posted December 29, 2021 Report Share Posted December 29, 2021 (edited) Manitoba announced 947 new cases of #COVID19 and 1 more death on Wednesday, Dec. 29, 2021. Active cases: 7,488* Total caseload: 77,485 Recovered: 68,613 Deaths: 1,384 *Overstated due to backlog in designating active cases recovered, but also understated due to testing shortage That 947 figure is another new single-day case-count record.

Manitoba #COVID19 patients in hospital: 183 (up 16) In ICU: 29 (up 4) Total patients in ICU (COVID and non-COVID): Not yet available.
