GoA COVID19 Statistics – Tell the Story

7.16% of Albertan’s have COVID according to the Government of Alberta’s own COVID19 statistics…

• The number of COVID19 patients in hospital is on a steady decline.
• The rates of hospitalization have dropped to the peek highs reported in January and May 2021.
• 318,520 cases are active in Alberta out of a population of 4,442,879.
• 7.16% of the Alberta population are infected with COVID19.
• 4.4% are being hospitalized (all age groups).
• 0.8% are admitted to ICU (all age groups).
• 0.9% suffer death (all age groups).
• 55% of all hospitalizations are between the age bracket of 70 to 80+.

So if we extrapolate and analyze this data…

The GoA has approximately 25,000 employees.

• If 7.16% of GoA employees were currently infected with COVID19 it would equal 1790.
• Then 79 out of 1790 would be hospitalized.
• Then 14 out of 1790 would be admitted to ICU.
• Then 1687 out or the 1790 could remain home until they are COVID recovered.
• Then the remaining 23,210 healthy employees could continue to work.
• This is without any mandatory vaccination policy.

Statistics and numbers reported to the public without an explanation of the analysis and context can create a “pandemic moral panic“.

• No one should accept facts and figures on face value.
• Research and discover for yourself.
• Be critical in your thinking.
• Distinguish between fact and conjecture.
• Your analysis is not wrong just because you may disagree with the popular narrative.
• It is your CHOICE what conclusion you draw from the data.
