Q: 2/@CDCofBC (and my doc) "Recommends Quadrivalent Inactivated Influenza Vaccine (QIIV) (Fluzone)" for ppl (like me) w/conditions such as:
65+, diabetes, asthma, RA ...
3/Specifically, I'd like clarification - if it in fact high dose *is/will be* available...who qualifies? Is it any/everyone 65+,or only those in #LTC, assisted living/1st nations?
This clip via @bc_pharmacy is confusing...
5/ I just want to know: Will I be able to receive the recommended #QIIV#Fluzone#FluShot here in #BC?
HOW do I do that?
It's been recommended by Doc for last 2 yrs, but impossible to find.
@Buckleygkml@ctv_shannon TY @Buckleygkml . You really got me thinking/studying - role/job of PHO vs MOH. Just a couple of things b4 I get to main thoughts.
a. True I don't hold current PHO in high esteem; Perhaps my cynicism was showing and translated as spite. 1/
@Buckleygkml@ctv_shannon 2/ b.I had assumed (perhaps wrongly... we'll get to that).. that a PHO, by definition, would know the numbers/extent of health care workers in #BC. Esp. since PHO had just announced (vax) mandate affecting every one of them.
@Buckleygkml@ctv_shannon 3/ It just seemed logical to me - that in considerations leading up to + resulting in mandating new regulations; a significant aspect of such decisions, would be knowing who would be affected- ie: to whom the mandate applies
@Carol13@dockevinmcleod Hi Jazzy. You hit the nail on the head. #BCGov#PHO#MOH are *not* giving us info. I believe nurses who tell us they are *over* whelmed. Protests should be aimed at those making the regs. Why target those who are working so hard to care for everyone/vaxxed or not. 1/
@Carol13@dockevinmcleod 2/Think about it - someone who refuses vax for no reason except "my body/my right" are protesting the very people who are trying to help everyone. If one of us has heart attack/or needs emer. surgery or care for any reason - there is no beds/no staff.
Read this excellent reporting by Kaya Martin @TheMartlet re the #GVSB, #CRD housing (#CRHC) and @CityOfVictoria 's land use decision re @vichighsd61 . It pulled the rug out of Alumni Assoc 's 13 yr project to revitalize stadium by leasing out the "unneeded" land #YYJPoli
2/ Does anyone know what stage this project is at now?
Has CRD housing begun construction of housing on this land @CityOfVictoria leased to them? "Renovations are scheduled to be finished in September 2023." seems to refer to revised (downgraded) plans for stadium/track...->cont
@CityOfVictoria 3/ but what's happening on #CRHC end- on land they now lease for the intended purpose of creating housing - the land which put the kibosh on the original VicHigh Alumni Assoc plans for stadium/track upgrades?
Dear @CapitalBikeCa As a driver, I heed importance to allow 1metre when I pass a cyclist. If there isn't space, I gladly slow down behind them. What do you say to the cyclist on s.#VancouverSt just before 5:30pm who sped by on the right.... 1/2...
2 ...squeezing himself with very little space between me and parked cars on his right; as I had to slow for speed bump? It's clearly marked single file shared use lane. Also 30k/zone which he was in excess of?
This is why some drivers are angry at some a*hole cyclists, imo.
3/ (sorry... need to extend this thread.) If perchance, one of the parked cars, didn't see him coming as he was not only riding in wrong place (he should have been behind me) but speeding - opened their door and he ran into it - guess who would be blamed?
1/To me, it's nb to differentiate between various subgroups of cyclists. Commuters are different than recreational are different from semi or wannabe pro athletes. (of course some are cross over of any/all segments...) #YYJ#YYJBikes#yyjpoli
2/ @CityOfVictoria is inviting one and all to come for the recreational experience they have created on #VancouverSt - as a destination; not a commuting route.
3/ many orgs are encouraging cyclists to make use of the expanding AAA bike lanes - for recreation and family fun -posting #NeighbourhoodRides experiences, awarding prizes for logging kms..
2/ I refuse to believe it's irreconcilable. Many drivers are also cyclists-many cyclists are also drivers. So why is the discourse almost always about "us vs them"? #YYJ#YYJTraffic
3/#FullDisclosure: I'm coming from the viewpoint of someone who can no longer cycle: one who is both envious of and rejoices in, those who can .
