The average number of #COVID related hospitalizations in #Canada has increased by 10% in the past week. The good news is that the number of cases in ICU has remained flat over the same period. Source: ourworldindata.org/grapher/curren…

We're seeing an 87% uptick in the average number of daily new COVID cases in Canada since March 30. This is not over yet, despite what certain politicians are claiming. Source: worldometers.info/coronavirus/co…

The average number of daily deaths in #Canada has risen 86% in the past month during this 6th wave of #COVID. Though mask wearing is no longer mandatory in many provinces, it is prudent to continue the practice whenever you leave your home. Source: worldometers.info/coronavirus/co…

Wastewater analysis in #Ontario suggests that #COVID infections are finally coming down during this sixth wave. This is good news as more and more people start returning to a more normal life. Source: covid19-sciencetable.ca/ontario-dashbo…

Wastewater analysis in #Ontario now shows that the 6th wave of #COVID infections has passed its peak and is falling sharply. I'm still taking precautions such as wearing a mask whenever I leave my house. Source: covid19-sciencetable.ca/ontario-dashbo…

All four metrics that we track for #COVID spread in #Ontario are now showing a downward trend. Wastewater analysis, hospitalizations, ICU hospitalizations and deaths are now all showing a downwards trend. Source: covid19-sciencetable.ca/ontario-dashbo…

Though the number of #COVID infections in #Ontario is continuing to go down, the rate of descent is decreasing and we are still at more than double what we were seeing before the start of the 6th wave. Source: covid19-sciencetable.ca/ontario-dashbo…

Here's where #Canada stands compared to my two other historical home countries with respect to #COVID vaccinations. There's still room for improvement. Source: ourworldindata.org/covid-vaccinat…

The number of #COVID cases in ICU in #Canada is still almost double what it was during the lowest point between the third and fourth waves. Continue to take appropriate precautions when leaving your home. Source: ourworldindata.org/grapher/covid-…

#COVID hospitalizations in #Canada are now about half of what they were at the peak of the 6th wave. They are still 7.5 times higher than they were before the start of the 4th wave. Best to maintain masking and social distancing when going out. Source: ourworldindata.org/grapher/curren…

Great initiative by the ACM SIGGRAPH executive committee to add these ribbons indicating how long you've been a volunteer. My first position was in 1985 when I volunteered to help stuff envelopes for the Paris chapter. I've continued volunteering ever since. #SIGGRAPH2022

It's been more than 2 months since the 7th #COVID wave started in #Ontario. Wastewater analysis seems to indicate that we are finally seeing the levels of infection go down. Just in time for the return to school. Source: covid19-sciencetable.ca/ontario-dashbo…
