Alberta’s chief medical officer of health Dr. Deena Hinshaw reported 158 new cases of COVID-19 on Thursday, an increase from the 143 seen just a day prior. She said there also has been one additional death – a patient at Foothills Medical Centre, which is currently seeing a coronavirus outbreak.
During the briefing, Hinshaw also provided advice on how people can celebrate Thanksgiving safely as cases rise. She said this should include keeping gatherings within established cohorts of up to 15 people outside your households and remembering that “smaller is safer.” When shopping for Thanksgiving dinner, observe social distancing and mask requirements, and wash or sanitize your hands often. She also advised one person plate everyone’s meals to avoid the sharing of utensils or have pre-portioned servings, have people bring their own food or even order take-out.
Hinshaw also spoke about school-related cases, saying there were active alerts or outbreaks in 97 schools, with 163 active cases. The province’s top doctor advised, however, that since school started they have seen a week-over-week decrease in terms of cases among school-aged children, defined as those between five and 19 years.

What is a top-doctor? Foolish term.
Why do we need to be distracted by this signing fellow? Please respect those without hearing, and those with hearing.

Dr Hinshaw, please answer how many amplification cycles are being done in Alberta for the PCR tests on covid to get these results. How many of these positive are the result of over amplification from inconsequential levels of coronavirus in a person’s system????

Why you DON’T talk about DEATHS but only for cases ? The tests are Not reliable, most of them are FALSE POSITIVE . In a PANDEMIC WE HAVE THOUSANTS OF DEAD PEOPLE . NOW WE DON’T HAVE ANY ?

Top doctor? More like top gender hire. Good job being born female, “Doctor”.
In all seriousness, who is she even talking to other than a few media shills?

Question for this “top doctor”:
How many COVID deaths in Alberta?
Vs
How many suicide deaths in Alberta?
When she’s finally intelligent enough to tell me the answer, then I’d like to know… Which one is the pandemic?

Oh no! I still know no one who’s died or gotten sick. Covid is dead.
