Canadian COVID Forecast Nov 22 - Dec 5, 2025

ALBERTA

SEVERE [no change]

About 1 of every 114 people is infected.

Compared to lowest point of pandemic in Canada:

-Infections: 12.8 x higher
-Long COVID: 6.5 x higher
-Hospitalizations: 11.7 x higher
-Deaths: 20.8 x higher

It is nonsensical.

There is no such thing as an intelligent report on increasing school absences due to chronic illness and mental health issues that does not lead with a discussion of the out-of-control virus that causes chronic illness and mental health issues.

@cbcnews.ca has seriously weird biases about COVID. 🙄

YouTube video by Naheed Nenshi You belong here, and we will keep fighting for your dignity, your safety, and your future.

What this government is doing is wrong, and people are hurting. To every trans young person and every family feeling targeted right now: you are seen, you are valued, and you belong in Alberta.

We will keep fighting for your dignity, your safety, and your future.

A poster for a rally on Trans Day of Remembrance reads: “WE NEED EVERYONE TO SHOW UP! No excuses. The house is on fire. WE NEED YOU. Trans Day of Remembrance. NO TO BILL 9! No to Notwithstanding! Save Trans Rights! Rally With Us!!! Thursday, November 20, 5 to 7 PM” on the left, and “McDougall Centre, Calgary” on the right. A circular QCU logo appears near the bottom center.

NO EXCUSES. THE HOUSE IS ON FIRE. YOUR RIGHTS ARE BEING TAKEN AWAY ***RIGHT NOW*** BY THE ALBERTA GOVERNMENT. IT'S TIME TO TAKE A STAND.

McDougall Centre from 5-7 pm. it's time to STAND UP or get rolled over

The CSA’s revised standard on respirators should help us all breathe easier New draft standards for respirator use recognize the importance of protecting workers and patients in health-care settings, where there is a higher risk of pathogen exposure

This is still some of the best #Covid #flyers / #infographics that I've seen. The individual images are also on the WHN website but the link in the quoted post below is for the PDF version that includes ALL the flyers (instead of having to download each PNG manually).

Thank you!

Health Canada puts out guidelines recommending N95s and clean indoor air!

Let’s do this!

Yes it’s overdue, and no it doesn’t address every risk factor, but we can significantly curb COVID with respirator use and clean air.

This is horrible.

“We are told by leaders that we are the future. But when it comes to the ongoing pandemic, our present is being stolen right in front of our eyes.”

Incredible speech by Violet Affleck who warned about the ongoing dangers of COVID & Long Covid, & advocated for masks and clean air at the UN today!

Infographic from whn.global with the title: “It’s Asthma Peak Week.” Subheading: “The third week of September is a period when asthma attacks and hospital visits spike.” Supporting text: “Respiratory illness spikes, airborne viruses like COVID, and poor air quality add up to a dangerous week for people with asthma.” The background shows a close-up of a hand holding an asthma inhaler. At the top right, there are six small colored dots in a row.

Every September, Asthma Peak Week returns — a predictable surge when seasonal illness, airborne viruses, and polluted air converge. For those with asthma, it means heightened risk. For all of us, it’s a reminder: the air we share shapes our health.

Ahead of the Draw the Line rally on September 20th, we are coming together to create posters and signs for the day of action.

Join us to learn more about #DrawTheLine, meet other community members, and express yourself! Drop by for a bit, or stay for the afternoon! #yyc

Gotta love that forest fire orange-red gradient. How soothing.

Hey Calgary! Tired of you and everybody you care about breathing ALL THAT SMOKE? Of course you are. It's time to #DrawTheLine & stand up for a better future. Join us! We need YOU. We simply can't do it without YOU. We'll see you Sept 20th, TELL 10 FRIENDS who feel like you do! #yyc #ClimateChange

PROVINCIAL COVID-19 FORECASTS

Forecast scores are increasing or stable and high to very high in all provinces. About 1 in 65 people in Canada is currently infected (57,000-77,000 infections/day). The most recent estimate for the United States (3 weeks ago) is 1 in 93 infected (pmc19.com). Infections and hospitalizations are now consistently increasing in all provinces. This is consistent with the start of a new wave. Deaths are not yet increasing but likely will in the next 1-2 weeks. Expected excess mortality due to COVID-19 in Canada is HIGH (9%, Forecast score 9). Infections in Canada this week are expected to result in 4,100 hospitalizations, 800 deaths (people who die at least 1 year earlier than they would without COVID) and 15,000 new long COVID cases serious enough to limit daily life activities. About 3.4% of people in Canada are infected and/or experiencing life activity-limiting long COVID this week. The estimated cost of hospitalizations from this week's infections in Canada is $90.2M. Hospitalizations are expected to require 6.2% of Canada's staffed hospital beds for three weeks (CIHI: average duration of COVID hospitalizations).
