DBH saying "it's exciting news" the UK approved a vaccine, outside of Russia and China she added.
Canada's racism will prevent us from accessing Russia's vaccine.
Same words every day we get from DBH. No policy attached just words.
DBH has mismanaged our pandemic response from day 1. We got lucky in the spring, only because we closed businesses and schools.
DBH talking about travel related cases but won't put into place mandatory travel restrictions.
She's useless.

"no socializing"
The virus doesn't care if you're socializing with a few buddies, in a place of work, at a school, at a restaurant.
It will spread.

DBH now encouraging everyone to "go outside" but no socializing, the virus doesn't like that.
Adrian Dix now with his daily condolences.
If your cared you'd be doing everything possible to save our seniors, including pre-testing healthcare workers.

"dig in" says Adrian Dix.
Sure, but I'm too busy being kind and brave, I have no time to dig in.

"follow the guidance" says @adriandix.
The problem is your guidance has led to record setting deaths and case #s.

Tess Checknews - asking about extending restrictions.
DBH - "we're all looking at", "challenging".
You'll be drunk by the end of the presser if you're drinking when she says challenging.

Tess followup - asks about travel, time for essential travel checks at BC ferries?
DBH - "challenging things" (drink up, lol) Not the role or responsibility of BC ferries, she claims.

David CTV - to Dix, vaccines. omg stop asking about vaccines.
DHB - no mandatory vaccine programs, no expectation.
All these vaccine questions have been asked and answered many times over already. You're wasting your question.

Zussman Global - has Red Cross been asked re field hospitals.
DBH - has "hospitals in a box" (lol), says no Red Cross

.@richardzussman should have asked about hospital capacity, especially ICU capacity. His Red Cross question was related.
Fraser Health has 39 in ICU, capacity of 52.
I would have asked about Surrey's hospital capacity.

Rob Dawson Creek - asking about future restrictions.
DBH - claims "leveling off" of cases in FH. Sure if 500 cases a day is leveling off.
Claims orders extended to entire province is sufficient. 834 cases today, obviously rules are inadequate.

Rob followup - wants the province to use the word "ignorance" instead of "fatigue" in relation to rallies, gatherings, sports.
DBH - says those are not the majority, are small, most are "doing the right thing".
Stupid question, imo.

Bernardo news1130 - school notification question, why are they so late.
DBH - says goal is to notify parents asap (denying the substance of the question), claims "making progress", it's a "challenge" (drink up).

DBH - says a lot of exposure events, but claims "very rarely transmissions in those settings"
What a liar. We have rampant in-school transmission, @Bernardo1130

Bernardo - asks about data proving little in-school transmission.
DBH - claims "we've been open", claims she "shares the information", refers us to dashboard, it is a "challenge" (drink up).
Not answering the question
She has no data because they don't collect the data.

Laura Tyee - asking about visitors in care homes.
DBH - "challenge we're facing" (drink up). "not a time" for visitors. Claims it's not safe.
30 in a classroom is safe but 1 visitor in a care home isn't?
What kind of voodoo science is this, @CDCofBC?

Note, she said "challenge" twice more in her long answer.
Followup - why are masks not mandatory in classrooms
DBH - says masking in schools is "part of the safety plan". Claims BC is "aligned" with other provinces.
A blatant lie. We are not aligned with other provinces on masks in schools.

Last question - Laura CBC - more info on team to Alberta (a sports team traveled to AB, brought the virus back)
DBH - says it was an adult sports team, "unfortunately"
That's what you get for not putting in mandatory travel restrictions, @CDCofBC.

Ooops, Sarah from CBC followup - asking how far it spread, how many tested positive, asking for more details.
DBH - haha, "I don't have all those #s in front of me".
