Have to be cautious when overall ICU numbers and overall hospitalizations are still where they are, but in looking at the daily data published on the province's open data the trend in daily hospital admissions is at this point quite clear. Including two charts below that I've unofficially put together based on that data. One that shows progression of Total Hospitalizations in Manitoba and one showing daily admissions through Covid starting in March 2020 and running through to yesterday.
Of particular interest is that daily hospital admissions appear to be ahead of the model presented a couple weeks ago. Yesterday's 7 ICU admissions however was the highest in 11 days.
Data is at https://geoportal.gov.mb.ca/datasets/manitoba-covid-19-daily-cases-and-hospitalizations-historical/explore
I'm in no position to guess how long this trend in lowered hospital admissions would have to continue until there's a meaningful impact on what we're seeing in terms of total hospitalizations and ICU use. Premier and Dr. Roussin are taking part in a press conference tomorrow where I would wager we'll get a better picture where we are and where we're headed.
