Such an important thread about B.C. and #COVID19. We need to do so much better than this. #bced
Replying to @EpiEllie
WISHFUL THINKING So far, this paper, while demonstrating a horrific burden of COVID in BC this past year, has been well documented, and the science is well done, and transparently reported. Then we get to the discussion & the wishful thinking starts.

This is exactly what needs to be done in every school in BC. This is what the BCTF should be shouting from the rooftops every day on TV, radio, on the internet. #bced #bcpoli

7. Acknowledge that COVID is airborne and emphasize ventilation, filtration, and air quality monitoring. Display real-time CO2 data for lecture halls, cafeterias, libraries, gyms, etc. Make CO2 meters available for students to borrow.
This is serious. A hardworking question: why are journalists so deferential to Dr. Bonnie Henry and Health Minister Adrian Dix? straight.com/covid-19-pandem… via @georgiastraight

So many have died who didn’t need to. So many suffering who could’ve been protected. So much sadness that will endure. So much lost that will never be regained. I will never understand why wearing masks was a big deal. I will never understand why vaccines became the enemy.
