WHY was it the Minister of Public Safety that ordered the mask mandate for indoor public spaces?

Perhaps #bced teachers should implore @mikefarnworthbc to keep them safe in the indoor public spaces that classrooms are.

Is this why it was the Minister of Public Safety and not the Public Health Office behind the mask mandate?

To whom should terrified #bced teachers turn for legislative action on their behalf?

And WHY was it the Ministry of Health that ordered the mask mandate in hospitals on 5 November and not the Public Health Office?

Remember when doctors called for a mask mandate in schools back in August? They're doctors. Their work is to ensure people's health.
Why was their recommendation ignored?

Given all the above, does anyone else wonder how many lives could have been saved if there had been a universal mask mandate in place months ago?
When retailers, doctors, and the Minister of Public Safety agree on it, what is the obstacle?

Being calm & kind will support mental health but it's truth that will keep us safe.
To that end, a few question suggestions for @richardzussman:
What data, exactly, shows that there is low/no transmission in #bced schools & that students don't transmit the virus? 1/?
#bcpoli
2/?
Why did the Minister of Public Safety, and not the Public Health Officer, mandate masks in all indoor public spaces?

#bcpoli
3/?
Why did the Deputy Minister of Health, and not the Public Health officer, mandate masks in hospitals?

" As such, a vaccine alone, no matter how effective, will not tip the balance toward health because COVID-19 is not a disease; it is a symptom of an exhausted planet. "

Schools are being kept open not because of the need for educating students, their primary function, but because #bced performs a social safety net function in the provision of food, & the support of mental health in children. 1/?
2/? Schools perform these functions despite the fact that there is a Ministry of Social Development and Poverty Reduction, a Ministry of Mental Health and Addictions, and a Ministry of Child and Family Development in BC.
3/? The ‘downsides’ that Dr Henry talks about to closing schools is not related to a loss of learning but to the loss of food and mental health support for children in one of the richest provinces in Canada. A province where 1 in 5 children lives in poverty.

What would schools in BC be like if the mandate letter for the next Minister of Education included all 21 recommendations for Healthy and Resilient Schools? Why not ensure we are more prepared when the next pandemic arrives? #bced #bcpoli #MandateTheRecommendations 1/21
2/21
Recommendation 1
That the Ministry of Education provide stable, predictable, and adequate funding to enable school districts to fulfill their responsibility to deliver quality public education to all students in British Columbia.
#bced #bcpoli #HealthyAndResilientSchools
3/21
Recommendation 2
That the Ministry of Education terminate the consideration of a prevalence-based model for special education funding and align special education funding with special education needs.

Which party is most likely to fund #bced in a way that reflects the importance attributed to public schools during Covid19 updates?

What are the chances that @bcndp or @bcliberals make any significant changes to this travesty? #BCElection2020 #bcelection #BCelxn2020 Image

I was challenged by a @bcndp supporter to name a jurisdiction with a better school restart plan. Here you go: Vietnam, Thailand, Ghana. 1/?

2/ Senegal has a better plan. @bcndp should check it out.

"You see Senegal moving out on all fronts: following science, acting quickly, working the communication side of the equation, and then thinking about innovation,"

Then there's Mongolia that's also #BetterThanTheBCNDP plan
