Hey fellow Canadians trying to figure out #covid risk - there’s a great team led by a researcher at U of T that is still doing epidemiological modelling and publishing regular updates

covid19resources.ca/covid-haza

It has all kinds of data in it but i find the province specific info that starts on page 7 of the report most useful. Right now about 1 in 24 people in BC has covid 😬

It’s updated every 2 weeks and has consistently done a fantastic job throughout the pandemic of forecasting deaths and risk.

@susannah so we were going to the I Mother Earth and Tea Party concert next week, and we bought the tickets months ago, but we’re gonna bail based on this info. It’s not worth it.

@vjgoh i think that’s reasonable! I also think it’s reasonable to go masked and in glasses and use a nasal spray like enovid or betadine before and for a few days after if it feels really important. Like we have PPE and strategies that can work pretty well and take our risk down even further.

@susannah yeah, we could try, but as an introvert, it’s not a huge deal. The friends that were going to come visit and go with us decided to take a vacation to Mexico instead with their parents and kids, so there’s not even that impetus.
