The Winnipeg Free Press is tracking the status of COVID-19 in Manitoba, as reported by provincial and federal health authorities.

Wastewater surveillance

Health Canada’s wastewater dashboard shows the concentration of COVID-19 in wastewater samples from different sites.

The green line shows the seven-day rolling average of the viral load for each site. Health Canada calculates the seven-day rolling average by averaging the viral loads from each day with the previous six days.

An ongoing increase or decrease in the viral load is more reliable for indicating trends. If the wastewater signals are high or increasing, this may indicate a high level of COVID in the community.

The chart below shows wastewater surveillance in Winnipeg as reported from April 2021 — when data first became available in Winnipeg — to Dec. 12, 2022.

Vaccine uptake

The chart below shows the cumulative percentage of all people in Manitoba who have received a COVID-19 vaccine, by vaccination status.  The chart is updated every four weeks.

After 20 years, Planet of Sound is still in its own orbit around the world of music

According to a press release issued last week by the Recording Industry Association of America, for the first time since 1986 — the year songs such as Madonna’s Papa Don’t Preach, Peter Gabriel’s Sledgehammer and Falco’s Rock Me Amadeus were topping charts all over the globe — sales of vinyl records outstripped sales of compact discs for the initial six months of the year.

Hey, Mr. Mister, it wasn’t even close. The RIAA report stated that between January and June, audiophiles doled out US$232.1 million on vinyl albums as compared with just less than US$130 million on their digital counterparts. And while that bit of news was music to the ears of Planet of Sound owner Dave Wright, it certainly didn’t come as some big surprise.

“Vinyl is definitely on the upswing and has been for a while, which is precisely why we started carrying it in the store about 10 years ago,” says Wright, whose cosy, 800-square-foot shop at 1109 Henderson Hwy., which stocks a healthy number of LPs in addition to CDs, DVDs and Blu-rays, even an assortment of long-considered extinct LaserDiscs, will celebrate its 20th anniversary in November.

“It’s not just people who grew up listening to vinyl, either,” he goes on, sporting the office uniform: sneakers, dark jeans and an aquamarine-coloured, zip-up hoodie, the latter of which only partially conceals a well-worn, Joy Division T-shirt. “The other day there was a gal in here who I would have put at around 14. She picked up the Tea Party’s Edges of Twilight plus an album by the Wallflowers, the one that had their first big hit on it (we think he means Bringing Down the Horse). As she was taking out her debit card to pay I was like, how do you even know about these groups? Don’t they predate you by at least 10 years?”

VANCOUVER - A third case of a new coronavirus that's behind deaths in China has been confirmed in Canada by health officials in British Columbia, who say a man in his 40s tested presumptively positive after a business trip to the Chinese city of Wuhan.

Dr. Bonnie Henry, provincial health officer, said the man who lives in the Vancouver area returned last week and had symptoms about 24 hours later, when he voluntarily isolated himself at his home and called a clinic.

The man is doing well at home and no members of his family have shown any symptoms as they are being monitored by health officials, Henry added.

A second test will be done at the National Microbiology Laboratory in Winnipeg and results are expected in the next two days, Henry told a news conference Tuesday.

Lake fever

Re: Lake Ontario ‘then, now and always’ (Aug. 28)

Some people are stupid and uninformed and uneducated about history, as well as lacking in empathy and respect for other cultures, especially Indigenous cultures and their rich histories.

If all of the above are true for some of the American public and for Donald Trump — then you go ahead and call it Lake America!

‘Fine wine’: Vintage Collaros shows up in big win over Als after 38th birthday

Ken Wiebe 6 minute read 10:29 AM CDT

Zach Collaros was in no mood for I-told-you-so’s.

There were no references – either thinly veiled or direct – to the naysayers, many of whom thought the Blue Bombers were in deep trouble as the league-leading Montreal Alouettes rolled into town on a roll for a matchup on Friday that could have left Winnipeg with a sub-.500 record heading into the Labour Day Classic.

No, that’s not Collaros’ style or part of how he operates.

After outduelling Alouettes quarterback Davis Alexander in a convincing 44-28 victory, Collaros stood in front of a group of reporters and displayed almost no emotion, despite delivering what can easily be described as his best showing of the season.

Hajdu says it was 'unethical' to record call

Teresa Wright, The Canadian Press 5 minute read Monday, Apr. 1, 2019

OTTAWA - The Liberals escalated their criticism Sunday of Jody Wilson-Raybould's decision to secretly record a phone call with the country's top bureaucrat, with a prominent cabinet minister declaring her unease with the former attorney general remaining in caucus.

Labour Minister Patty Hajdu told the CBC she believed it was "unethical" for Wilson-Raybould to secretly record her Dec. 19 conversation with Privy Council Clerk Michael Wernick. A 17-minute audio clip of the call was released on Friday by the House of Commons justice committee, along with a 43-page brief from Wilson-Raybould that includes emails and text messages.

In a CBC interview Sunday, Hajdu said she has never recorded a colleague's phone conversation and would never do so covertly.

"I think it's unethical. I think it's deceptive," Hajdu said.
