Alberta
Half of Red Deer COVID-19 cases recovered. Central Alberta COVID death occurred in Camrose (April 6 Update)
Information from covid19stats.alberta.ca
On Monday, April 6 the province made some interesting changes and additions of the provincial COVID-19 stats website.
Red Deer is no longer separated into 3 quadrants. But the report now indicates how many cases are active and how many are recovered.
Across Central Alberta there are 66 cases.
- Red Deer City – 25 cases – 13 active – 12 recovered
- Red Deer County – 13 cases – 11 active – 2 recovered
- Wetaskiwin City – 7 cases – 3 active – 4 recovered
- Mountain View County – 5 cases – 4 active – 1 recovered
- Lacombe County – 4 cases – 1 active – 3 recovered
- Lacombe City – 2 cases – 0 active – 2 recovered
- Camrose City – 2 cases – 0 active – 1 recovered – 1 death
- Beaver County – 2 cases – 2 active
- Camrose County – 1 case – 1 recovered
- Windburn County – 1 case – 1 recovered
- Vermilion River County – 1 case – 1 recovered
- Ponoka County – 1 case – 1 active
- Stettler County – 1 case – 1 active
- Kneehill County – 1 case – 1 active
- Clearwater County – 1 case – 1 active
In this graph you can see that Central and Southern Alberta zones have been very fortunate in the amount of cases per 100,000
This graph makes it look like all the regions in Alberta “might” be flattening the curve. Experts say it takes up to 5 days in a row to indicate this trend. It currently looks promising.
This graph compares the age categories in both actual number of cases, and as a rate per 100,000 people in each category.
Here are the total numbers for the province. In recent days the percentage of cases in Central Alberta has dropped from 8 to 5.

Alberta minister says patience running short for federal energy industry aid
From the YouTube channel of Alberta Premier Danielle Smith
Members of the media join Premier Danielle Smith for a round table on January 21, 2025.
Yakk Stack By Sheldon Yakiwchuk
Prior to Trumps inauguration event and announcement was made that Trump would not be imposing the 25% tariffs…
Which means, Canada seriously dodged a bullet here.
And while the Liberals will most likely frame this as, their success in showing, Bad Orange Man, that they’re tough and ready to burn down what is left of our economy, throwing Alberta under the bus, first…through a nuclear option…
Premier Smith rode this challenge out like the true champion we knew that she would be.
It’s hard to say if this was a legality matter in the grander scheme…or if the 25% tariffs would have truly been as big of an impact on the US…
One thing is clear, however…
Smith was ready to go to the tables with the Trump administration and opt for diplomacy over threats…which should be what we expect from our leaders.
And should these 25% tariffs have gone through…I’m more than sure a Plan B would have been brought out in civil conversations, over screeching rhetoric.
“She’s treasonous”, they screeched.
“She’s supporting her friends in Oil and Gas”, they relent.
“She should put Canada first”, they echo…
And let’s just address these…
Is Walmart beholden to Campbells soup? Fruit of the Loom? Kraft?
Or does Walmart sell products that helps keep their doors open?
Walmart is not beholden to any product…just like Premier Smith isn’t. We have 26% of our GDP – the largest portion – owed to Alberta O&G, something that we have a limited trade partner with, due to the Liberal – Anti-Alberta/Anti-O&G/Anti-Pipeline attitude that wants to spend us further in debt with unreliable and expensive “Renewables”.
What does Alberta get from renewables?
A higher cost for energy, in an affordability crisis, created by the same people who continue to push them…sounds like a terrible deal, for Albertans, and something a true leader would Not Favor.
When Walmart sits down to hash out a deal with Heinz, are they committing treason because they haven’t shown their allegiance to their own, ‘Great Value’ brand Ketchup?
No…other provinces have their own industries and resources, which they are free to continue developing independent of the federal government, as is suitable and supportive of their own economies…Alberta isn’t competing with them, nor Canada as a whole.
Alberta through industry and resource, actually supports Canada through a grand imbalance on “Equalization Payments”…
As do we through paying 50% more into the Canada Pension Plan, than we actually get out of the Canada Pension Plan…to the tune of a $334 Billion Dollars.
And as for this “Team Canada”, horseshit…
The title Premier of Alberta, should hold some clues as to who Premier Smith should be advocating for…as she is the Premier of Alberta and Not the Prime Minister, nor leader in the Liberal Party that has created this fiasco, to begin with.
Rail, as they may…other provinces can’t cast a vote in her support, either way…
None of the other provinces, through Members of Parliament, nor through Premiers, came to support Alberta and our economy through a number of Federal Bills that railed on our provincial resources…
Worse yet…these hypocrites cash cheques from our province, while telling us how to diversify our economy…to which I’d state one thing unequivocally…
If we wanted to be a Have Not Province…like you are…we’ll come and ask you for your advice.
Until then…
I’ll hold my Alberta Flag Higher than my Canadian…
And be proud today, of having the only Premier in the country of Canada, worthy of any praise today!
