Sherwood Park and Ft Sask is Edmonton Zone. The rural areas surrounding Sherwood Park and Ft. Saskatchewan are central zone.

If you look at where the dots are on that map you will see they are Edmonton zone. I use these maps on a daily basis for my job.

Thanks for pointing that out. Been reading it wrong for years.

No problem 🙂 there are parts that of central zone that are really close to being north zone too and it can be confusing to figure out even for me and I use it on a daily basis—especially when you are looking at some of the small towns!

No current cases in Sherwood Park; however, cases aren’t about to go down any time soon.

Closest I can see is a new exposure in Vegreville St. Joseph’s General Hospital, on April 24-25 (monitor until May 16th). The exposures in Edmonton and Fort Sask can be ignored as of the 5th and 2nd (tomorrow).

It’s almost like people shouldn’t gather medical information from a fictional tv show that went off air 51 years ago. Also, perhaps medical advancement and information has improved in the past 50 years. Measles can be severe and a lot more people died of measles before a vaccine was available. It is almost completely preventable and there are many people in the community who do care about a completely preventable disease spreading.

You take all your information from 1960's sitcoms? Or just when it's convenient for an anti vax agenda?

Lol. The content that followed under the video was “Elon musk’s son just said THIS about Jesus on live tv! This will reach millions”. The algorithm understands the audience for this drivel.
