Steady as she goes...

It is really important to stay focused on the good things right now, so here we go.

100 % of new cases in the province of Ontario are now caused by the delta variant.

Only 2 new cases in Guelph today, six in the entire WDG region. Guelph is almost 93 % fully vaccinated. That is outstanding. That is a wall of vaccine protection around our community. The delta variant swooped in and took over, but our vaccines still worked.

Ontario is 86 % double vaccinated. ( From this source: https://covid19-sciencetable.ca/ontario-dashboard/)

That is outstanding too. Here are some interesting numbers:

1/ The number of new cases / million among the unvaccinated is 209.

The number of new cases / million among the vaccinated is 36.9.

That's an 82 % reduction in new cases/ million associated with vaccination. Vaccines work to prevent COVID -19 infection even against the delta variant

2/ The number of cases / million in the ICU is 79.4 among the unvaccinated.

The number of cases/ million in the ICU is 2.4 among the fully vaccinated.

That's a 97 % reduction in ICU occupancy associated with full vaccination. Vaccines work to prevent serious illness and the need for assisted breathing in the ICU even against the delta variant.

That is a wall of vaccine protection around our province!

The wall remains in place even as omicron makes it's way in!

Take a look at this familiar graph:

One massive thing has changed since the third wave of this pandemic when the rolling average of new daily cases was over 4300 and the number of ICU admissions were close to 800 ( April 20/21) and that is Vaccines.

Be not anxious. Wear a good quality, well fitting mask in public. Get vaccinated if you are not there yet.

Again and again, I will say it, "We've got this". The twisting, turning, upside down, right side up, always changing world of COVID-19 is dizzying. But we are still here. We are still winning. Science is still winning. That has not changed.
