CTV News has learned they've detected a spike in recent days.

More cases of concerning P.1 variant confirmed in Vancouver lab than entire U.S. bc.ctvnews.ca/more-cases-of-… #BCpoli #COVID19
"As of Friday at noon, they revealed they've discovered a total of 215 of the P.1 variant through their screening, a number not yet reported by provincial officials."

Yesterday they said 176 total P1. 39 'missing' ones. They don't test all positive cases, it's higher.
“At St. Paul’s Hospital we’ve actually identified more P.1 variants than the entire United States,”

“This is concerning because P.1 is associated with immune evasion.”

Concern without action is nothing. @CDCofBC #BCpoli #COVID19

BC's GHG Emissions, 2000 - 2018

Paris agreement: 30% reduction on 2005 ghg emissions by 2030.

BC's commitment: 2005 ghg = 64.682 * 0.7 = 45.277mt

Where is BC? 2018 ghg emissions - 67.924 mt or 19.4046 mt short
#BCpoli #ClimateCrisis Image
Since 2008 BC has had a country high carbon tax.

BC's emissions have risen 6 of the last 8 years.

Regressive taxes DO NOT reduce emissions.
BC's GHG Emission inventory:

We're 2 years late on emissions. April we'll get 2019 data.

So much wrong with this study. Mitigation is used 15 times, elimination is not used once.

Mitigation is the wrong strategy.

In-person schooling and COVID-19 transmission in Canada's three largest cities medrxiv.org/content/10.110… #COVID19 #BCpoli #cdnpoli
This was the first red flag for me, the consensus they reached. I see no proof of this consensus, no research that short-term temporary school closures vs long-term mitigation leads to greater adverse mental health effects in children. #BCed

Second red flag.

This is wrong. Current research shows closing schools leads to lower community transmission, not mitigation (ie keeping schools open).

I'll post the study next tweet in the thread. Image
