1/Thread: Let’s play a game #bced!

The MofE has stated that they are following the Denmark school model.

Game: Truth or Lie

I will place some quotes, from articles, about the Denmark #Edu model and you will guess whether you think this is actually happening in BC.

#bcpoli
2/ Remember that the MofEd has promised British Columbians that after the Exam debacle, that they would ensure that every statement that comes out of their office would be vetted by a top Ministry official and be honest. #bced #bcpoli
3/ Here we go:

“She credits the success in Denmark to the co-operation between the government and the teachers' union, and said they were in constant communication and addressed staff concerns early on.”

#bced #bcpoli
4/ So do you think think this statement is truthful about #bced or is it a lie?
5/ Next quote:

"Our first priority was to ensure that the hygiene standard was good," said Ålholm headmaster Soren Vith, who said the school followed all the government-mandated protocols back in Phase 1 of reopening.” Image
6/ Is that statement applicable to all of #bced?

#bcpoli
7/ Next quote:

“It’s also about how much virus is circulating in the community, which affects the likelihood that students and staff will bring COVID-19 into their classrooms. It’s important to keep community spread as low as possible.”

#bcpoli #bced Image
8/ Is that statement a truthful about the state of community spread in #bced or is it a lie?
9/ Next quote:

“Extra teachers were hired so classes could be divided into three groups, breaks were staggered, each class was assigned to specific toilets and, when possible, learning was done outside.”

#bced #bcpoli Image
10/ Were classes split in to 3 in BC and extra teachers hired?
11/ Next quote:

"Very much is up to the schools to see what's the best way forward for us with our kids," said Dorte Lange, vice-president of the Danish Union of Teachers.

#bced #bcpoli Image
12/ Did individual schools have the autonomy to do what they felt was best to move forward in #bced?

#bcpoli
13/ Next quote:

“And we made this deal with our central health authorities who put out the regulations and made their recommendations - we told them that we need to make these teachers who are in health risk groups, as you could say, make them feel safe as well.”

#bced #bcpoli
14/ Are teachers, who are in risk groups, made to feel safe as well in #bced?

#bcpoli
15/ Next quote:

“When children ages 2-12 returned to school, they were sectioned off into “micro groups” of twelve. These groups also known as “protective bubbles” arrive to school at staggered times, eat lunch separately & have their own zones in the playground.”

#bced #bcpoli
16/ Are there micro groups on the playgrounds of #bced?

#bcpoli
17/ Quote:

“All students are required to wash their hands every two hours but do not have to wear face masks. Desks are divided two meters apart, all education material must be cleaned twice a day and when possible, classes are held outside.”
18. Are ALL of these statements true in all schools in #bced today?
19/ Thanks for playing!

Here are the articles that I got the quotes from.

Today is the day that it really sunk in that all levels of Govt in 🇨🇦 are prepared to let the masses get infected.

They haven’t educated citizens or Health Care Workers about long COVID either. Our govts are knowingly doing nothing to stop a Health Hazard. 💔 This is not my 🇨🇦.
Please educate someone about Long COVID.

Health Act requires Provinces provide data to Stats Can.

In BC, the @CDCofBC only counts people who die within 30 days of getting COVID as dying as COVID. Vascular disease takes > 30 days to kill.

@GovCanHealth requires all + COVID cases that die be reported.
#cdnpoli #bcpoli
2/ Means @GovCanHealth must have accurate data unless Min of Health is withholding it? And if so, Feds should fine BC until they start meeting FED & OECD standards. FOIPA data?

Vascular diseases takes longer to damage the young. It’s still COVID death though. They just hide it.

1/🧵Important Thread

For those working in unsafe conditions, this thread highlights which sections of the Occupational Health & Safety (OHS) Act may apply to your situation. You can highlight them in an unsafe work claim. It’s BC specific but may apply elsewhere. #bced #bcpoli
2/ BCCDC creates guidance for employers, and employers can choose which aspects of the guidance they want to use in their safety plan.

Guidance is not law, it’s a suggestion.

The OHS Act is law and it TRUMPS any BC CDC guidance. Important distinction.

#bced #bcpoli #cdnpoli
3/ The PHO must also follow the principles in the OHS Act when creating orders, as must @WorkSafeBC when ruling on unsafe work claims.

Act clearly states that ALL work must be carried out without undue risk of occupational disease to ANY person. OHS Act prevails. #bced #bcpoli

1/ The @CDCofBC provided a single link as scientific evidence for their #bced plan.

When you click on link, it doesn’t even take you to study, it takes you to a picture of study.

Go to page 18, and click on National and International studies. #bcpoli

bccdc.ca/Health-Info-Si…
2/ Here’s the actual study that @CDCofBC references. You’ll notice that the study stresses the CRITICAL importance of following IPAC mitigations in order to keep schools safe.

nccmt.ca/uploads/media/…

#bced #bcpoli
3/ The McMaster rapid review from August 2021 admits that none of the studies look at areas the deal with societal or structural inequities. #bcpoli

Remember this is the ONLY scientific “study” that the @CDCofBC used to justify having so few mitigations in #bced.

1-This is a thread 🧵 that looks at the annotated bibliography that the @CDCofBC provided for their back to school plan. They didn't expect you to click on the links and read it because if you do, you'll find a very different outlook than what they suggest. #bced #bcpoli #COVID19
2- Wayback machine says this document has been worked on as recently at Aug 16th, 2021 which makes me think it is what they are using for schools this year. Unbelievably none of the references are from 2021, before we knew COVID is airborne.

3- Scenario 1 of Alberta's plan -- the near normal return, which Alberta itself has superseded because Delta is destroying the Province. Check it for yourself.

Dear @BCNDPCaucus,
✴️By now you may have heard that BC has not been following what peer reviewed science is saying.
✴️You may have also learned that the @CDCofBC is deliberately not contact tracing or collecting data in #bced so they can say that schools are safe.
#bced #bcpoli
2/
✴️Review my twitter feed for past year & you will see all the scientific studies that show that BC is not following the science.
✴️Key facts we are ignoring: the virus is aerosolized and Health Care workers and essential workers need N95s to stay safe, particularly with VoCs.
3/
✴️BC is also ignoring how the virus is largely spread. 50% of spread comes from people who have no symptoms. The @CDCofBC has ignored warnings from around the world and REFUSED to mass test asymptomatic people. This is negligent.
