The Province has done Thursday’s Covid data update. Below is a comparison of the previous update. I've tweaked the format compared to prev posts to reflect a focus first on hospitalization data.  
 
Case data from the Provincial dashboard continues to be updated, though the province has said that between backlog and people that may not have tested the numbers are likely a serious under-representation of actual numbers (in reality 8-10x higher).   
 
HOSPITALIZATION DATA  
PMH Active Hospitalizations: 16 (no change)  
PMH Total Hospitalizations: 27 (no change)  
PMH Active ICU Patients: 2 (no change)  
PMH Total ICU Patients: 3 (no change)   

MB Active Hospitalizations: 222 (+11)  
MB Total Hospitalizations: 263 (+10)  
MB Active ICU Patients: 32 (+3)  
MB Total ICU Patients: 33 (+3)  

CBC is reporting that the total number of all ICU patients in Manitoba is presently 95, compared to the pre-Covid baseline of 73. 
 
CASE DASHBOARD DATA (case numbers said to under-report real cases)  
Brandon total cases: 3328 (+226)  
Brandon active cases: 1333 (+233)   
Brandon recoveries: 1969 (-7)  
Brandon deaths: 26 (no change)  
 
PMH total cases: 7671 (+369)  
PMH active cases: 2100 (+362)  
PMH recoveries: 5461 (+7)  
PMH Deaths: 110 (no change)  
 
By age and gender, the breakdown in new dashboard cases for PMH versus prev update is as follows. Continuing to include this data under the assumption that shear case numbers will be higher, but the relative numbers from one age bracket to another may continue to be of value.

The provincial test positivity rate is 43.5% (+3.2%)  
 
Updated vaccine data shows that 84.4% of the population age 5 and over have now received at least one vaccine dose (+0.1% vs last update), 77.8% have received a second dose (+0.1% vs last update) and 27.3% have received a third dose (+1.2% vs last update). Prairie Mountain Health is showing at 76.8% (+0.1% vs last data update).

The Province has done Friday’s Covid data update. Below is a comparison of the previous update. The province has said that between backlog and people that may not have tested the numbers are likely a serious under-representation of actual numbers (most recently estimated to in reality be 8-10x higher).

The Province has done Monday's Covid data update. Below is a comparison of the previous update on Friday. The province has said that between backlog and people that may not have tested the numbers are likely a serious under-representation of actual numbers.

43 active hospitalizations by my recording represents a pandemic high for PMH, previously being 27 from both Friday and at May's peak. 

Provincially, CBC is reporting that today's hospitalization total is the highest of 2021/highest since the peak of the second wave in late December 2020. 

CBC reporting at the same link above that total ICU count for all patients is 93. Considering all weekend developments that number has reduced by 3 from 96. Normal pre-pandemic baseline is 72.

The provincial test positivity rate is 49.0% (+4.6%)

Updated vaccine data shows that 84.6% of the population age 5 and over have now received at least one vaccine dose (+0.1% vs last update), 77.9% have received a second dose (no change vs last update) and 30.3% have received a third dose (+2.0% vs last update). Prairie Mountain Health is showing at 77.0% (+0.2% vs last data update). 

Brandon district data shows an 84.7% uptake rate in people age 5 and over (+0.1% vs previous update).

The Province has done Tuesday's Covid data update. Below is a comparison of the previous update.

47 active hospitalizations by my recording represents a pandemic high for PMH

CBC is reporting that 418 represents a new pandemic high for Manitoba since the hospitalization number has been reported. 

CASE DASHBOARD DATA

Case numbers said to under-report real cases. 

With the shift away from PCR tests in many cases, another level of complexity is involved in how to interpret case numbers and make relative comparisons... though am including them below for those who find value.

For those still following the active and recovery data with the requisite grain of salt, it was mentioned in a previous discussion that the recovery number has not been going up for the past couple of weeks while the active number has. With us now being more than a couple of weeks into this significant spike in Covid cases during the Omicron wave, I would not be surprised in the coming days to see recovery data updated to reflect a more current active-recovery balance. 

Brandon total cases: 3890 (+87) 
Brandon active cases: 1902 (+88) 
Brandon recoveries: 1962 (-1)
Brandon deaths: 26 (no change) 

PMH total cases: 8893 (+166)

By age and gender, the breakdown in new dashboard cases for PMH versus prev update is as follows. Continuing to include this data under the assumption that shear case numbers will be higher, but the relative numbers from one age bracket to another may continue to be of value.

Updated vaccine data shows that 84.6% of the population age 5 and over have now received at least one vaccine dose (no change vs last update), 78.0% have received a second dose (+0.1%) and 31.0% have received a third dose (+0.7% vs last update). Prairie Mountain Health is showing at 77.0% (+0.2% vs last data update). 

Brandon district data shows an 84.7% uptake rate in people age 5 and over (no change vs previous update).

The Province has done Wednesday's Covid data update. Below is a comparison of the previous update.

The hospitalization totals for both Prairie Mountain and the wider Province of Manitoba both represent pandemic highs. 

CASE DASHBOARD DATA

Case numbers said to under-report real cases. Further uncertainty is introduced in reliability of data as a relative comparitor with the recent shift away from PCR tests in many cases. 

Following trend of the past 2-3 weeks, continuing to see Active cases increase with minimal change to the recovery line. As cases mature, unclear on criteria for eventual updating of many to Recovered status. 

For those still following the active and recovery data with the requisite grain of salt and finding value in that data, those numbers compared to previous numbers are included below:

Brandon total cases: 3931 (+41) 
Brandon active cases: 1942 (+40)

A new dashboard launched by Brandon School Division that will show daily self-reported case counts by school and twice-daily absenteeism rates by school (click on individual school names for data on that school).

Data on total Manitoba ICU beds in use vs capacity has been reported by CBC on an ongoing basis. As of the time of this post that data wasn't available. Yesterday's reporting had the total number of patients (Covid or non) in Manitoba ICUs is 102 following 107 on Monday and 102 on Thursday. 

CASE DASHBOARD DATA  
Based on ongoing nature of case data and the assumption that real tested cases represent a fraction of actual cases, I'm going to stop including it in these daily updates at this time. Those who continue to find value in that particular data can find it on the provincial dashboard, which the province updates on weekdays at 12:30pm.
