Covid numbers climb again
I stopped posting daily Covid numbers a few weeks ago but I’m beginning to think I might resume. There were 234 new cases in Quebec Tuesday following 750 new cases last weekend.
We’ll have a vaccination passport as of September 1; Quebec still has to decide whether to make vaccination mandatory for health care workers. La Presse also notes that the Université de Montréal’s going to make mask-wearing compulsory when classes resume.
Update: indeed, as noted in comments, both McGill and UdeM will have strict mask rules in place. Grade school and high school kids won’t have to wear a mask in class, but they will wear one in the halls and on school buses,

If you do, might I suggest making hospitalization and death counts forefront. Case numbers are less important because case severity is going down on average since vaccination is going up.

McGill also made mask-wearing in the classroom mandatory.
Cases are drastically skewing younger: about 3/4 are among the under 50 crowd.

Chris, the numbers given by Santé Québec were simply the new cases and the deaths. If you’d like further information, the mainstream media will provide it, although not necessarily on time and in order.
