I am extremely frustrated with the level of obfuscation and lack of clear science and rigour underpinning our #COVID19 response in BC. I would like to share some correspondence as I think it's important for citizens to know what is happening.

🧵
2/ My email to the Ministry of Health (I was bounced there by Attorney General. I might post that nonsense chain at some point).

Written just after removal of universal masking ('mask mandates').
3/ The Ministry of Health reply. You will note my questions are not answered, and the reply includes language exactly like the canned nonsense #bonniehenry provides at press conferences. It's also in line with the dreadful 'education' campaigns - posters, social media, etc.
4/ Here is the person who replied.

I kid you not, the tag line is "Improvement through every concern."
4/ And here is my reply. Will it four months to get a reply again? I mean they are busy dealing with COVID. Except COVID is over and is not a concern. Except it's keeping the government really busy.
5/ I deserve better than this. As a BC resident, as a parent, as a Clinically Extremely Vulnerable person, as a scientifically-literate citizen, I deserve better.

We ALL deserve better than this. I am so utterly dismayed at the abandonment of science & ethics.

1/I am really upset at pic emerging wrt massive (& dangerous) overstepping of BC's Provincial Health Officer (#bonniehenry) & regional MHOs into building engineering, a legally regulated engineering practice in which they have no training or license to practice

#COVIDisAirborne
2/ To recap, building engineering is a regulated practice. The application of ASHRAE technical standards and guidance = building engineering. Only appropriate P.Engs can practice building engineering.

3/ Any regulated engineering work MUST be backed by a Responsible Engineer / Engineer of Record. There must be a paper trail ("Authenticated Documents") of work product and assurance that underpins engineering advice relied on by others.

Hi! This is my first tweet official tweet. I figured it was worth dusting off this as yet unused account (too much to do, too little time) for something this important.

Tl:dr - I'm asking you to please support this #bced cause:

So, like many parents (& grandparents & teachers & so many others), I've been calling repeatedly for scientifically-sound COVID mitigation measures in BC schools. As a former practicing engineer, I'm stunned at the exclusion of Professional Engineers from school safety plans.
It seems straightforward. The application of ASHRAE guidance requires the skills & responsibility of Professional Engineers (mechanical / building). I spoke with consulting engineering colleagues. They have many commercial clients who are indeed retaining them to
