Damn, I'm angry.

@jkenney announced new covid19 measures for Alberta today. They are totally inadequate.

Anyone surprised by his continued lack of leadership? Anyone? Didn't think so.

We know social gatherings are a primary cause of transmission. Voluntary measures have been in place for a couple of weeks, and cases still going up.

No new measures today in this regard.

2/n

My daughter's martial arts club, which has excellent health measures in place, was forced to close under "group fitness" rules.

But you can still go drinking in a bar as long as you are home by 11. Ya, that's a good priority choice right there.

3/n

Social gatherings are still ok up to 15 people, and weddings and funerals up to 50. Faith gatherings should reduce to 1/3. Pretty please. Those are exactly the situations the data tell us to address. Weak tea measures today, at best.

4/n

New resources to help senior's residences? Nope

New resources for contact tracing or hospitals? Nope

New resources for schools, places we all know are at risk but we also all want to keep open? Nope

5/n

Half measures now with the foolish hope the curve will bend in 2 weeks? Wrong approach. We needed tougher measures now to decisively bend the curve.

All this does is waste another 2 weeks, pushing even more painful measures closer to Christmas.
