This is my 1st ever thread, hopefully it works….So this is updated July 7th 2021 BC Order of the PHO-Gatherings & Events: www2.gov.bc.ca/assets/gov/hea…. In it @DrBonnieHenry acknowledges continued threat of #Covid19 & increased transmissibility/illness w/VOCs incl. younger people: 1/6
And even though there is careful inclusion of exemptions when it comes to certain gatherings incl. “students, teachers or instructors at a school, or post-secondary institution when engaged in educational activities….#bced” 2/6
And even though @DrBonnieHenry has ceased all briefings & has significantly reduced available #Covid19 testing etc., she has explicitly stated in a legal document that she has “reason to believe and does believe” the following: 3/6
Of interest also is inclusion of allowance of additional & more restrictive regional MHO orders. Remember when @DrVictoriaLeeFH had the courage to strengthen Surrey school mask mandate? Could we advocate to do this again to protect students/teachers/families come Sept? 4/6
Honestly, I truly want to know. For all intents & purposes @DrBonnieHenry’s current non-actions, relaxed restrictions (incl. no mask mandate) & blatant disregard for vulnerable groups incl. immune compromised kids & parents/unvaxxed kids in Sept #bced is incredibly alarming 5/6
Seriously, how is it that this order, signed by @DrBonnieHenry on July 7th, 2021 can express the seriousness & continued health threat that #Covid19 poses to all of us, esp. w/#DeltaVariant & yet she is allowed to put us all at risk w/her non-actions & relaxed measures? How? 6/6

The long-term consequences of this never-ending pandemic are forever altering lives.

Case in point: A typical bad day for me now is exponentially worse than any pre-pandemic bad day. Here’s my new “bad day” normal…
🧵 1/
Two weeks ago, I was 2 days into an out of town visit helping care for my Mom. Since her cognitive issues are consistent w/frontal temporal dementia, she has lost all decision making capability, is prone to frequent inappropriate behaviour & inconsolable outbursts. 2/
On this day, like every other day, my #1 mission was to try to get her more comfortable since her clothes were soiled - as they often are - because she cannot understand when to use the bathroom by herself anymore. But she gets very agitated & upset when you try to help. 3/

🧵1/ I’m reading up on this court case btwn Henry & unvaxxed HCWs & think it’s interesting that there was no scrutiny into what constitutes “fully vaxxed.” Since as per Henry’s HCW vax order, an over two year outdated 2-dose primary series still qualifies. tnc.news/2024/05/16/b-c…
2/ Specifically, in her HCW vax order & when she was questioned about it during a PH briefing, Henry explains benefits of hybrid immunity-that HCWs even w/outdated vaccines that were also infected w/C19 recovered faster, posed lower risk to patients & reduced absenteeism rates:
3/ As well, as per above article, re: Henry’s never-ending C19 PH emergency, the judge said that “transmission of the virus posed a significant health risk & justified ongoing use of emergency powers & that an unvaxxed HCW constituted a ‘health hazard,’ as defined by PH Act.

🧵 1/ Gee, I wonder where countries around the world, incl Canada, got the idea that eradicating absenteeism & subsequent learning loss was more important than protecting students from a disabling disease or supporting them in their recovery when they’re sick. Oh, I know….
2/ You see, according to McKinsey- yes, of course it’s McKinsey!- it’s not only about making sure kids are in school so parents go to work in the short term. Apparently, as per their Apr/22 article, it’s also about preventing catastrophic economic losses over the next 15 years.
3/ A quote: “Lower levels of learning translate into lower future earnings potential for students & lower economic productivity for nations. By 2040, the economic impact of pandemic-related learning delays could lead to annual losses of $1.6 trillion worldwide…” Yikes, right?

Last week, I was told there was a “cold” virus spreading in my Mom’s memory care facility. And that she was sick. And now, of course, it’s been confirmed that the “cold” was actually C19 & it’s still spreading like wildfire. But that’s not the worst thing that happened…
You see, a nurse came into my Mom’s room to take her temperature. But as has happened frequently in the past, my Mom got scared. Only this time my Mom backed away too quickly, falling onto the arm of a chair, landing on the floor, crying out in pain.
Now, my Mom has a badly bruised or fractured rib. Either way, the only way forward is pain meds & lots of rest. But since my Mom has dementia type that causes high anxiety & erratic behaviours, including ceaseless pacing, resting, for her, is probably most unattainable remedy:(

Case in point: After 1st C19 infection, my kind/independent Mom began exhibiting lack of empathy/apathy. 2+ infections later, dramatic behaviour changes. MRI showed “atrophy disproportionately marked in right to temporal lobe.” Now she’s most difficult resident in 24hr facility:(
MRI summary: Multiple sm areas of increased signal intensity in frontal parietal & posterior temporal lobe white matter consistent w/mild changes of leukoaraiosis. Disproportionately marked in right cerebral hemi, particularly right to temporal lobe. Pattern=possible form of FTD.
This MRI is yr old now. And it was only made possible after my Dad, desperate for answers, pleaded in person at hosp. By some miracle, my Mom got on cancellation list & had appt w/i week. I say this b/c due to outrageous wait times, there’s so many out there w/no MRI/diagnosis.

On Apr 20, 2023, @PHSAofBC Board Chair, Tim Manning read out inquiry from a member of public about patient health & legal ramifications of allowing sick HCWs to return to work. Pls note this mtg took place week after Dr. Henry rescinded HC mandatory masking. Here’s full Q & A:
🧵
Q: “In light of the PH advice incl from regional health authorities under your jurisdiction & your employee, Dr. Henry, that HCWs do not need to test for C19, may go to work w/C19 & may expose patients to C19, is the board aware that the @CMPAmembers (Cdn Med Protective Assoc)…”
“…states the following, yes or no?:
A physician may be found to be of breach of his or her duty of care to patients by continuing to provide med services & prevent transmission of viruses where the physician suspects he or she has C19 or has been diagnosed w/C19…”
