This has been my question for years. Why don't BC journalists cover issue X or Y? Especially those stories about the welfare of children. You do see important topics sometimes but the vast majority of stories remain untold while a few stories seem to get a spotlight repeatedly.👇 And I'm always interested in reach. If i have to dig deep to find a story - if I don't cross paths with it in my daily travels - the coverage doesn't have legs. But then there's also the issue of the interest of readers. 👇

This is a story about #covid19bc messaging and #BCEd schools. In the @Fraserhealth exposure letter that parents in my twins' school received, it states that Covid is only transmitted via droplets. Recall that stuffy classes contain 30 people and as few as <10 wearing masks. 👇 Image I went to the @CDCofBC site & found this comparison, stating that droplets spread @Covid19bc. Aerosols are connected w/ other conditions. Researchers/ experts have been weighing in on this topic for weeks (I'm not the researcher. My professional research interests lie elsewhere.) Image
