BC’s Ro value is currently higher than Alberta’s.

All students in Alberta will be starting school online on Monday. They also have a mask mandate in classrooms in Alberta as well.

Ontario Ed is also all online.

I thought BC’s #bced plan was “aligned” with the other Provinces?
Ontario is delaying school opening.

Alberta has moved school online until January 8th.

1/ I find it gobsmacking that there are journalists that can’t seem to comprehend that BC is deliberately under testing so the @bcndp can say our numbers are low— go out & shop.

The numbers testing positive are deliberately low, but there are thousands in BC with COVID. #bcpoli
2/ BC’s dashboard has claimed that we were in the 400 to 600 range for the past week.

The University of Washington projections say that we should have approx. 4266 positive cases in BC.

That means there are thousands of BCians who are positive and don’t know it. #bcpoli
In terms of projected deaths — we are doing worse than Ontario, which has 3 times the population of BC.

Meaning BC would have 51 daily deaths if we had the same population as Ontario.

BC is becoming famous for categorizing what should be COVID deaths as Excess Deaths.

At the last press conference Dr. Henry described an aerosolized virus but did not call it one. Why?

CDC says the main way COVID-19 infects is through aerosols.

The #bced plan has no protections for an aerosolized virus.

Soap & hand sanitizer do not protect against aerosols.
2/
-Alberta, Manitoba, Ontario, Quebec & Nova Scotia all have mask mandates in classrooms.
-WHO, CDC & Health Canada all recommend masks in classrooms.
-There is no scientific, logical or moral reason why masks are not mandated in #bced classrooms.
-Only 1 questionable reason.
3/
 -Students are not required to social distance at school, it is recommended.
-Masks are NOT required in classrooms.
-Most Sec students in FH have 2 classes that are 2.5 hours in length.
-Many classrooms with 30 desks do not allow for 1 meter of distancing between desks. #bced

@yaneerbaryam @CovidActionGrp @JoeBiden @usatodayopinion 1/ We, the parents, staff & students in the #bced education system need some advocacy & support.

All public places have a mask mandate, except schools. Masks are required in hallways but not classroom. Classes are 2.5 hrs. Students eat in hallways with no masks. 30 in classes.
@yaneerbaryam @CovidActionGrp @JoeBiden @usatodayopinion 2/ Physical distancing is recommended not required. Classes are so full, not able to distance. Cohorts in Secondary are 120. Only layer of protection is hand sanitizer, & washing hands. Guidance doesn’t recognize virus is aerosolized.Won’t give data on student/teacher infections.
@yaneerbaryam @CovidActionGrp @JoeBiden @usatodayopinion 3/ Classes have multiple students infected but if students say they are friends outside of school, it is categorized as a community transmission, to keep school transmission low.They changed the definition of an outbreak, so it’s virtually impossible for it to be labeled as such.

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

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.
