Here I go again:
ER visits for #CovidIsNotOver are declining.
That is usually followed by a decline in hospitalization.
I know it is unpopular to talk of declining numbers, but that is what I am seeing.
We should see a 50-75%+ decline in hospitalization over the next 8 weeks.

COVID is not mild.
ER visits are going down and hospitalization may peak between 45K-55K-I posted this before
It was similarly unpopular in January when I said hospitalization will go down in February '22 down by 80%
Others were calling for end of time

The one indicator that I have touted since the pandemic began is ER visits. It is useful to look at all indicators.
It has proven to be more accurate than other indicators, particularly for severe disease, hospitalization, and critical disease (vents, respiratory failure/arrest)

1/6 #COVID19 key concerns in 🇨🇦: Today, in lieu of a daily in-person update to the media, I have issued a Saturday statement discussing COVID-19 current epidemiology and trends in Canada. Read my statement in full here:
canada.ca/en/public-heal…
canada.ca/en/public-heal…
2/6 The weekly average for Canada’s #COVID19 daily case count has increased to 425 cases being reporting daily over the past week, compared to an average of 400 or less cases reported daily during the previous week.
3/6 Increases in #COVID19 cases have been observed in Western and Prairie regions of Canada, with British Columbia and Manitoba each reporting a 24 percent increase in weekly cases compared to last week.
Its difficult to explain why so many leading Western #epidemiologists and #virologists, against all advice from East Asia, still openly or indirectly suggest that "herd immunity" should be the ultimate strategic rational for Western governments responding to #Covid_19 /1
The contradiction of pandemic expertise is puzzling. The assessment of #China's top epidemiologists is crystal clear scmp.com/news/china/soc… Their colleagues in #Southkorea, #Taiwan, #Sinpapore, #Hongkong and #Vietnam certainly agree 100% to reject the notion of "herd immunity"/2
China's 82 (?) years old hero-scientist Zhong Nanshan notes: "Vaccination is the way to acquire immunity. Herd immunity won’t work – the cost and sacrifices are too huge,” ... referring to the situation when a large percentage of a population has become immune to an infection."/3
