“Focusing on Covid morbidity/mortality is bad b/c…to protect older Cdns has come at high cost to our youth” Dr. Krajden
In BC, our public health leaders have protected neither seniors nor youth.
BC Public Health leaders have not protected our seniors. They have manipulated the definition of outbreaks in LTC, and left it at the discretion of the Medical Health Officer of the regional health authority, or their official designate, to even declare an outbreak.
Guess what happened? Some Health Authorities have had little to no outbreaks declared since week 1 of 2022. Spot the missing colors after week 1.
Strange how that works, MORE contagious variants and LESS outbreaks, with ongoing abysmal LTC Infection Control protocols based on droplet & contact spread, no #N95, no #CleanAir, Covid + with Covid - roomate, etc.
As for 60-69 yo seniors, why were they not offered a 4th vaccine dose much earlier, as was done in other provinces? 60-69 yo have 69% of the 70-79 yo's admission numbers for 2022 and just about same number of ICU admissions for 2022. BC Sit. Report wk 52-38 and @CDCofBC data
As for protecting youths, it starts with making schools and early childcare education (ECE) centres #COVID safe.
Interestingly this number of C-19 cases in schools was not captured in B.C. Centre for Disease Control school situation report at the time. How strange?
On par with HA not advising parents and educators of #Covid exposures at schools. Prompting BC School Covid Tracker moms to step in.
And then there's the "pièce de resistance" of just how well youth were being protected by BC public health leaders. Same leaders who repeatedly stated that schools were safe at every press conference, all the while they were counting how many children were getting infected.
No, children did not get infected from their parents. They infected them. That is why the seroconversion rate (attack rate) of children was higher during the Sept/Oct 2021 to March 2022. "Children were the most infected and least vaccinated" the study author stated.
How many children, parents or educators will have developed #LongCovid as a result of unsafe schools? We won't know as our PH Leaders don't seem to believe #LongCovid even exists. If they did, how could they have let this happen?
Sadly it is not just our seniors and youth that our BC public health leaders #bcpoli #bced and @CDCofBC are failing to protect. Data from WorkSafeBC.
"Note that occupation information is lagged, due to the recent increase in COVID-19 claims and operational capacity." Begs the question what are BC Public Health leaders doing to protect these workers?
How will Canada cope with COVID-19 this fall and winter?
Answer: Don't know about Canada, but BC will fail miserably. Brace yourselves. /via @globeandmail theglobeandmail.com/canada/article…
