  3. Something that I've noticed at hospital Emergency Departments in #Alberta recently... they no longer display the anticipated wait time to see a doctor.

    Yeah, those nine hour wait times aren't exactly encouraging.

  4. COVID and flu shots done! They didn’t ask me if I was eligible for the “free” COVID shot at the public heath clinic I went to. Just a poke in both arms!

    Nicely done #UCP government. 🙄

  7. Reupping this article from @thetyee.

    "When governments play with viral fires, it is ordinary citizens, including our unvaccinated children, that get burned."

  8. The UCP have quietly announced a BAN on covid vaccination for most kids under 12.

    They have revised to a two phase rollout, neither of which make kids without severe medical eligible for vaccination.

  9. We’re hearing there is a #Shigella outbreak in the Beltline #yyc.

    Why hasn’t there been any public messaging about this?

  14. "There is no grocery store, post office or doctor's office in remote Fitzgerald, Alta.

    The northern community is more than 700 kilometres northeast of Edmonton on the Slave River, near Wood Buffalo National Park. The only year-round road out of Fitzgerald links it to the Northwest Territories." #abpoli #ABhealth #EmergencyCare

  15. AHS' sexual health content has changed its focus significantly.

    "...Facebook and Instagram ads focused on reproductive life span, promoting healthy eating and physical activity, and folic acid for women wanting to get pregnant."

  16. Media are asked to inquire directly with AHS or via FOIP, but don't hold your breath (wear an N95 instead).

  17. We have verified this claim against a second independent anonymous source who also has access to the same data.
    We will not share the direct source of the data to protect anonymity as AH is actively clamping down on any of this reporting as per the UCP's direction.

    Because there are zero isolation requirements, hospital acquired infections should skyrocket in the coming weeks.

  18. From an anonymous source, data shows that #COVID19AB encounters have DOUBLED in Alberta in the past ten days.
    This is putting a massive load on Emergency and inpatient departments across the province.
    Strangely, the CMOH and Adriana LaGrange are silent.

    At the peak of the Delta wave, 1400 beds were occupied by patients with COVID. As of writing, approximately 7500 beds are currently occupied by patients with COVID.

  19. Welp, I showed up for my COVID (and flu) shot appointment today, and was told that due to a government supply issue, they don't have any COVID shots yet. "Hopefully tomorrow".

    Anybody successfully getting shots in Downtown Edmonton today? #yeg #COVID19AB #COVIDAB #abhealth

    Seems Alberta Health and the #ABgov never saw this coming and could not see the risk it would. Certainly sat on information a while so more got the E. coli infection too. Children in hospital is a problem for the child and the parents and the impact on the government reputation is beside the point. #ABhealth #ABpoli
