I still can't believe Bonnie Henry called Covid "endemic" today.
The US CDC gives a very clear definition of endemic but the fastest way to tell whether a disease is in a pandemic or endemic state is to ask if it's crushing the healthcare system. If yes: it's a pandemic. Media: please ask Henry to define "endemic."

People DM'd me about this tweet & have let me quote them here anonymously: "So around Sept a lot of public institutions including ours stopped having pandemic response plans. The mandate was to adopt a “communicable disease plan.” These are bizarre & Orwellian to read because.."
.. these plans are basically written to say 'hey, there are lots of things you can catch at work like the cold! Flus! Measles! *mumbles*Covid19 and Chickenpox!!' ...
.."IMO the angle to view all this is political/legal. They are constructing an alternate universe where evidence doesn’t exist, where there is no pandemic, etc. I have to think this is a legal strategy to make it impossible to prove incompetence..." (or willful negligence?)...
"I think this is why the pediatric rollout has been “a disaster.” I don’t think it’s a disaster, I think it’s 100% by design. They do not want kids vaccinated because it will make them look bad if cases fall..."
..."They can’t get away with full denial so they’ll make it slow & hard to get. That way there won’t be a sudden drop off of cases, & they can claim the vaccine had nothing to do with it."
This seems more likely than the implausible level of incompetence that would be involved.
This seems more likely than the implausible level of incompetence that would be involved.
If you find any of this "conspiratorial," please explain: BC's constant withholding of data (remarked across Canada all through the pandemic); our extremely low testing rates; the refusal to use rapid tests; the fudging of hospital numbers; Bonnie claiming Covid is "endemic..."
