Many New Brunswickers are likely familiar with this graph, which was shared with media on October 8, 2021. It’s simple enough to understand the immediate implications: reducing our in-person contact will result in fewer hospitalizations, and less strain on our healthcare system. But what goes into creating a graph like this? Dr. Sanjeev Seahra (SS)...
