Here's the #EY full report: "Progress review of COVID-19 response in long-term care" (#LTC) in #BC - It was paid for by BC taxpayers, given to govt on Oct 20/20; and released to us, today:
news.gov.bc.ca/files/1.25.202…

I question... why it took 3 months for this report to become public? I'm guessing it wouldn't have done @jjhorgan much good in his snap election, if it were made public just days before?

Elxn aside... I find the report troubling. Please read it and let me know what you think.

The report suggests numerous areas of policy and operations; in which BC was ill-prepared

Given that @DrBonnieHenry is a renowned expert in public health, preventative medicine + global pandemics - I just can't understand why we're still playing catch up now; let alone why we weren't better prepared at the onset.

Her credentials are impressive and impeccable...

Given her expertise in this field... why... why... weren't we better positioned and prepared to face this pandemic?

According to BC Gov Bio: her job is to be "responsible for monitoring the health of all British Columbians and undertaking measures for disease prevention and control and health protection"

So I ask her, and I ask all of us... what measures has she taken? I'm so tired of hearing her lay blame on those of us who are following every advice and suggestion and plea.... that "we" should do more.

What is *she* going to do... and *when*?
We (I)
can't shut down work camps,
can't enact travel bans
can't make schools subject to same protocols as almost every other sector

Today was the last straw for me; when she urged us all to "find joy"...
It's so insulting to us, and such a waste of her expertise... to resort to being a cheerleader (and I'm actually a fan of cheerleaders) ... but that's NOT.HER.JOB

@threadreaderapp unroll

and then this: Dix says he just heard of the report 10 days ago; but that gov has acted upon the Oct 20 report?
