OK, so herein is my attempt to be transparent about the frustrating experience of trying to follow B.C.'s COVID-19 trends.

"All of the figures released by the province are preliminary, and making comparisons from week to week has become difficult..."
cbc.ca/news/canada/br… "Under B.C.'s current system for reporting COVID-19 data, numbers that are released for any given week will be retroactively adjusted and often change significantly by the time the next reports are released..."

Here's the latest on what B.C. is planning to do about regulation of health professionals.

Lake Cowichan chiropractor writes that he performs "miracles" and that God works through him. Not sure how acceptable this is for a regulated health professional. (Or about the ethics of a newspaper publishing it.) I suspect that claims of "miracles" might violate the college's efficacy claims policy. I'd love to see what acceptable evidence he has for God working through him. chirobc.com/efficacy-claim…
