The good thing is that cases are only going up in the Central Okanagan so if we control the spread there and stay away, the mission will once again be accomplished.
Dammit. That was the Fraser Health graph. Let's try that again.
Whoops. That was the Vancouver Island graph. Here:
Criminy. Why can't I get this right? That was the Vancouver Coastal graph. Must be because all these graphs look the same. Anyways.... I promise this is definitely the graph
Oh silly me. That was Northern Health. I give up. Here is the Interior graph. I've gone through every health authority. So even if this one isn't Interior, you can definitely tell which one is, right?

Jesus. 13 hellicopters all on the same spot. Helicopters ain't easy to come by these days. That's a scary fire. Also, he hope would have been to bottle it up in the southeast. It heading northeast and jumping highway is worst case scenario.
Basically lived on this road for a year. Behind all that smoke and to the left a bit is Westwold
On the plus side, if the fire is 'bout here and has crossed the highway and continues ENE as the Castanet video suggests it can run for ways without hitting much. You just have to hope it ONLY goes ENE. Decent amount of interface stuff on east side of Monte Lake.

40-odd hours later, I'm still trying to fully process Friday's government COVID statement that warns about "myriad misinformation" on social media that "fuels our apprehension and anxiety."
I dunno man. The thing that fuels my anxiety is not having fully explained what's being done to stop cases from continuing to spike in BC. Among the issues: are many ACTUALLY anxious about spiking case counts? It would appear not! That's the friggin' problem!
Like, if you know real people, you know they're *less* anxious now than before restrictions are eased. They're seeing *more* people. And case counts are going way up. What's the plan? That's what makes me anxious.

When you tell people they can gather, they will gather. They may not read the fine print. This should surprise no one.
When exponential growth takes place for three months, as it has for variants and little is done to halt it, it will continue. This should surprise no one.
The question I would have asked today, if I could, would be:
You've said people need to do more, but what is the government doing to signal the seriousness of this to the majority of people, who don't pay attention to these briefings & have seen restrictions ease recently?

THREAD: The first week of the @currentfv newsletter is drawing to a close, so let's figure out what we learned.
1. The province wants to complete the widening of 24 kilometres of highway in barely five years. Is this realistic? @BowinnMa said it's 'tight' overstory.activehosted.com/index.php?acti… Image
2. That same edition, we talked with family members of an Abbotsford hiker who took his life this year. Brook Morrison was a prominent local hiker who once quit his job to hike the PCT. Now his family is working to help connect more people to mental health supports.
Link 👆 Image
3. That talk, as it happened, led us to a very interesting new way of delivering mental health support to people. That story's coming in next week's fvcurrent.com

1. In 2019, @BowinnMa rose in the legislature to give a lesson on induced demand. Widening highways, she said, does not solve congestion problems.
2. In 2020, John Horgan told Ma: Widen Highway 1 to Abbotsford!
So we asked her about that: bit.ly/2Punelu
@currentfv
3. Ma's brief lecture is worth watching. (This isn't a gotcha, it's on her Facebook page: facebook.com/watch/?ref=ext…)
4. @pricetags also provided some interesting context on Ma's appointment: pricetags.ca/2020/12/08/the…
5. I'm not sure a satisfactory answer is possible on an issue that is stacked politically in a certain direction, as Highway 1 in the Fraser Valley is. It's to have politicians willing to engage in these discussions.

1. Was reminded of this, and I can talk about this now, so a short thread on why media monopolies are bad, a shortage of journalists is problematic, and why Twitter can be good.
*This is about structures, not people. One episode
of journalism says nothing about individuals.
2. @robyndoolittle's great 2017 unfounded series prompted Statistics Canada to begin reporting data on the rates at which sex assault complaints (and other crimes) were deemed "unfounded" by police departments. Those statistics began to be included in annual crime stats releases.
3. They show the rate at which a police department deems a report of sex assault to be "unfounded." They vary incredibly from one region to the other, suggesting one's likelihood of being believed is highly dependent on the police officer, and the agency they belong to.
