Let’s create a list of questions that the media should ask Dr. Henry —but won’t.

1. Do you think the virus is aerosolized?

2. Is BC using schools for herd immunity?

3. What peer reviewed science justifies not having a mask mandate in #bced?

Feel free to add.

#bced #bcpoli
4. Why are there no layers of protection to deal with asymptomatic spread in #bced?

5. Dr. Fauci warned 🇨🇦 that we’d never get our community spread under control unless we start testing asymptomatic people. Why aren’t we?

6. How many clods have visited a hospital w/ C19 issues?
7. How many of the 10,000 people self-isolating are Students & #bced staff?

8. Why is every country & Province in the world providing up to date granular data about cases and BC refuses?

9. Why is BC not testing as much as Denmark, a country with 5 million & doing 80K tests/day
10. Has Dr. Henry or Dr. Daly signed the John Snow Memo?

11. If we used the same outbreak definition as the rest of Canada, how many outbreaks have there actually been in #bced?

12. Did you advise health authorities to attribute transmission to the community if Ss were friends?
13. Is the real reason you won’t approve the COVID app because you’re afraid people will realize how widespread the virus is and they’d be told to test daily?

14. Why aren’t you requiring LTC homes to use rapid antigen Covid tests on staff when an outbreak is declared?

#bced
15. Is BC following Sweden’s plan?

16. Why did the @CDCofBC choose to take the least restrictive path in their ethical guidance?

17. Why doesn’t the @CDCofBC ever provide scientific references or peer reviewed studies when providing COVID-19 guidance?

#bced
18. Who is refusing to mandate masks in #bced— is it you Dr. Henry, @jjhorgan or @geoffmeggs?

19. When providing guidance to the @bcndp are they following your recommendations? Which ones haven’t they?

20. How much has not having a govt past 2 months contributed to the spike?
21. Many are wondering where school trustees are in all this. Did you advise them to fall in line or else?

22. If an admin or Superintendent spoke to the press about the realities in their building, would you discipline them?

#bced #bcpoli
23. Did @bcndp force unions to sign an agreement that they won’t publicly speak out against them during the term of collective agreement? @bcfed @bctf @CUPEBC

24. If 35% of infected people are asymptomatic & the majority of kids are asymptomatic, why insist #bced is safe?
25. Have you looked at what the long-term economic implications of 30-40% of infected people getting long-haulers will have in #bced? On the Province’s economy? Many can’t work for many, many months.
26. @DrZoeHyde’s new research shows that if precautions aren’t taken in schools, more kids will become seriously ill—like Sweden. How many kids are being tracked as part of the MIS-C study at BC Children’s?

27. Why haven’t you surveyed students about how they are doing in #bced?
28. How many teachers, EAs, & Admin have been infected so far in #bced?

29. Why are only LTC homes updated at press briefing and nothing to do with schools, children emergency visit rates, MIS-C rates, infection rates, cluster rates, etc?
#bcpoli
30. Sweden and Alberta have shifted Secondary courses online. What scientific rationale are you using to justify jeopardizing the lives of Teachers and students?

31. Why hasn’t B.C. Been using the precautionary principle in #bced?

1/ This is the section of the LRB that the @bctf needs to enact in order to protect #bced.

Some claim they cannot do it as members have not created motions to do so; however, the Executive decided to go to the LRB unilaterally in Sept and without motions. They can do it again. Image
2/ There is a threshold that they need to prove is being met so that they can withdraw services and it not be considered a strike.

There are loads of ways they can do provide the evidence.

#bced #bcpoli
3/

✅Survey staff and collect data about working conditions.
✅Challenge the science — the WHO, CDC, & Health Canada all recognize COVID is aerosolized but @CDCofBC his not changed it’s guidance for #bced. All other business were required to update their plans to include masks.

1/ In case there are media interested in something other than the #BCelxn2020.

Here are some studies having to do with COVID-19 and Children.

Risk for Severe COVID-19 Illness Among Teachers & Adults Living With School-Aged Children

The White House interfered in CDC School guidance.

Much of the minimization that took place looks similar to what transpired here in #bced.

The parallels between the US and BC are a bit jaw dropping.

“You’re impacting people’s lives for whatever political agenda. You’re exchanging votes for lives, and I have a problem with that.”

Hope that any Scientist or health official that’s confronted with such a dilemma would resign like Ms. Troye did to sound the alarm.

#bced #bcpoli Image
This recently released document by BC Children’s Hospital looks suspiciously like the US mental health guidance the White House used to justify opening. Interesting that Dr. Black was not part of this publication.

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.”

If I were @jjhorgan, today I would:

1. Mandate masks in schools.
2. Shift schools to online learning in Fraser Health and Van Coastal.
3. Direct School Districts to use Federal Money to reduce class sizes and fix HVACs.

‼️Court case wouldn’t be necessary.

#bced #bcpoli #Lead
How "layers of protection" have changed since March. In order:

1) Distance
2) Masks
3) Ventilation

Hand washing etc is no longer in the top 3. When people state that masks are the weakest layer , they are out of date.
#bced #bcpoli

Thanks @rhmcgarry!

Schools are back at full capacity tomorrow. Teachers don’t feel safe and feel abandoned.

Parent court case tomorrow, too.

Important day. Time to lead @jjhorgan and have difficult conversations. Do what’s right, ask to see science and use Precautionary Principle in #bced.
These 78 world renown epidemiologists, scientists, paediatricians, & medical doctors from Stanford summarize what is accepted in science for schools, @jjhorgan. None of this science is being used in #bced and this will be your legacy if you don’t step in. Last chance.
