Some damage control from @VCHhealthcare. It would be cute if not so dangerous. So, now there are grudging mentions of air filtration and CO2 monitors. Let's take a look. #bced #bcpoli #COVIDisAirborne

LOL.
Oh, ffs. I try not to swear here, but honestly. Children are capable of using a CO2 meter.

Join the call by signing petition:

We, the undersigned residents of the Prov of British Columbia, respectfully request that BC Human Rights Commissioner launch an immediate inquiry into discrimination in accommodation, service & facility against many BCians due to their physical or mental disability or age.

Worried about the environment? WEAR A MASK.

What? But most are disposable & generate waste!

I assure you, wearing a mask leads to less waste than spreading COVID / Flu / RSV.

A thread, inspired by some infectious disease specialists.

/1
You should not be shocked to learn that North American hospitals generate more waste per bed than anywhere else in world.🥇

One recent study found the average waste generated per hospital stay in North America is a staggering

4.42 kg / bed / day.

/2
“Hospital waste comes from areas like food, electronic and paper waste, but the biggest source is clinical care…. a US study found that a single hysterectomy produced 20 pounds of waste in plastic, packaging, drapes...”

I received a speaking invitation today. I had to decline. Here is my response:

#BringBackMasks #Ethics #COVIDisAirborne #LongCOVID #MentalHealth #HumanRights

🧵
2/ Thank you very much for the invitation. Unfortunately, I am off work for the foreseeable future to the failure of every institution to stand up to public health and put measures in place to reduce COVID-19 transmission, which is proven to transmit via aerosols (airborne).
3/ As an immunocompromised parent of two children for whom I would like to live long enough to see them to adulthood, this has been a harrowing time. Due to unsafe schools, I have no reliable childcare. I have to pull my kids every day to eat lunch outdoors...

1/ DYK regulations governing individuals performing regulated engineering work also apply to some firms?

Engineers & Geoscientists of BC (EGBC) regulates Individual and FIRM Permits to Practice.

This 🧵looks at regulated BC Engineering Firms.

#bced #bcpoli #COVIDisAirborne
2/ The ability to require some Firms to hold an EGBC Permit to Practice stems from the Professional Governance Act:

bclaws.gov.bc.ca/civix/document…

A Firm can be a government entity or what we normally think of as 'companies'. Firm definition section of ...
3/ The EGBC Code of Ethics, practice standards, complaints & disciplinary process, etc apply to all Registrants, which include Firms: Section of the Professional...

1/ Well, here is everything I can share with you regarding my complaint to Engineers & Geoscientists of BC (EGBC) against the Vancouver School Board (VSB).

Thank you to all who helped with legal fees. I will post the final accounting as soon as I receive invoice!

Here goes!
2/ Important background part 1: Building engineering is a regulated practice in BC.

#COVIDisAirborne #bced #bcpoli

3/ Important background part 2: 2.All regulated engineering work in BC must be backed by Authenticated Documents.

Here is the video of this interview by @AlissaMThibault w/ @SoniaFurstenau (🏆), teacher @jheighton3, and me - not-anxious-but-frustrated parent.

I applaud #bced taking some action as #COVIDisAirborne . But it's amateur hour.
The #bced safety plan that supposedly 'meets @ashraenews' doesn't even clear the pre-requisite bar!

Perhaps an objective could be fewer hospitalizations than last school year, when 679 kids were hospitalized from Sep 4 to Jul 2?!

No parent has been able to obtain Authenticated Documents from an Engineer of Record providing the professional assurance of public health & safety to which we are legally entitled.
