Please don’t get complacent this weekend. I know it will be hard, as this is really starting to settle in for many. Stay home. Slow down. Tidy up. Call an old friend, as they are hopefully home as well. Please behave as if you have the virus. So, be kind.
If current trends continue, within 2 weeks we will have 12,000 cases of #COVID19 in Canada and 3700 cases in Alberta. With 10% needing ICU care, that is well above the 300 ICU beds we currently have in the province.
This is not a joke. Stay home. The window to contain is closing
The most effective way for Albertans to #FlattenTheCurve is by taking a comprehensive, society-wide approach.
Not testing alone. Not contact tracing alone. Not social distancing alone. All of them, together.
