Covid hasn’t gone away

Alberta reports 501 new COVID-19 cases, highest ICU count in nearly a month according to CTV News.

As pf Wednesday of this week, Alberta reported 501 new cases, as active cases rose for a 25th consecutive day, up to 3,769. This is within a few cases of being as high a count of active cases as we had in second week of June.

The best thing you and your friends and neighbours can do is get vaccinated. This pandemic is now taking the lives of the unvaccinated. Only 67.2% of Albertans have received two doses of the vaccine. We need as close to 100% as we can get to protect the very few people who can’t have the vaccine due to medical complications. The only way to keep the virus from mutating is to reach herd immunity and now allow our bodies to be used by the virus to have the time and opportunity to mutate. Don’t be a host! When the virus enters a body and begins to replicate, it makes mistakes and those mistakes of replication can create mutations or variants. The fewer opportunities it has to replicate, the fewer opportunities it has to create new variants.

Be part of the solution and get the vaccine today. Book a free shot, it’s safe and easy.
