Just got an invite for spring COVID shot...guess my fall one didn't take...not even on my record and they don't give proof these days. Lucky me I guess! #covid19bc
flu COVID clinic today at our public health unit - the folks giving vaccines were not masked. Does this not fly in the face of the requirements?! Boggles the mind... visible office & intake volunteers did, plus available masks at entry but NO signs either. #covid19bc
Suddenly many people are getting COVID. We are up north and no doubt it's here. Any sign of updated vaccines??????? It's been a good year since we had our last boosters...
The muzzling of BC healthcare workers extends to emergency medicine Doctors at Surrey Memorial Hospital have been warned to shut up about the critical situation: hallway medicine, days in ER without seeing a doctor, preventable deaths More👇 #bcpoli bc.ctvnews.ca/hallway-medici…
It will be a LOT of work holding accountable the physicians who continue to misinform/disinform the public. This letter from @Protect_BC is an exemplar of this effort. I was pleased to be a signatory. Population health matters. We need competent & honest public health leaders.

Today one of our kids went in for their kindergarten shots. BC Public health nurse informed us that as of 2 days ago, they don't need to wear masks 😮
Do Aranet air quality monitors go on sale anywhere in Canada?
@PennyDaflos Have we ever gotten the true number in critical care from #bonniehenry @adriandix that you asked about over a year ago?
A distressing situation for parents and a dangerous one for kids. People deserve to know what’s happening and what actions government is taking. @adriandix has said in the past his goal was to not overwhelm hospitals. What is the goal now when it comes to kids? #bcpoli

This is a surprise to precisely NO ONE considering how many times an array of people raised this exact issue Side note: This is what we call “taking out the trash” in journalism, dumping bad news on a Friday afternoon and hoping the smell is gone by Monday #bcpoli

This breaks me and is every parent's worst fear. Our hospital is doing their best with what they have, but we have limited resources even if they are some of the very best nurses and doctors I've had anywhere. RIP Mavis 💔

@RonaldNHughes @mapleartmedia The sad part is that not long ago, it used to mean something when a significant public servant lied (in public mind you) and was subsequently exposed. Like, the end of their career. Now liars like Dix, DBH, Musk, Trump, Putin etc etc are celebrated. ☹️
NEW: Doctors who don't specialize in emergency pediatric care may soon have to help care for sick kids But frontline workers tell me few kids are tested, raising questions as to whether BC officials have a good handle on situation More ⬇️ @CTVVancouver bc.ctvnews.ca/pediatric-illn…
You know, if viable rsv gets onto surfaces when people cough and sneeze, you might be able to invent some kind of mouth-and-nose-covering-technology thingy that reduces infective spray, as well as aerosols from quiet breathing and talking. I wonder if anyone’s working on that?
Now that we’re into the “rsv is spread by fomites” part of the news cycle, I’d note that when people have looked for viable rsv in small respiratory aerosols they’ve found it there too. Yes, rsv is airborne as well. atsjournals.org/doi/10.1164/rc…
Before Twitter dies RT this 🧵 THEY KNEW Remember the Emily Oster "LET’S DECLARE A PANDEMIC AMNESTY" in @TheAtlantic I said there was going to be a bad study. Well, BABIES under 6 mo old were hospitalized more than 65 to 74-year-olds!!! This is what was hidden by the CDC
@GlobalBC So why the secrecy? Do they not have enough faith in their decision to say it out loud? Doesn’t the science back their choice? The answer to this two previous questions is NO! They know this is the wrong medical advice and they don’t give a crap because it’s about politics and $!

People really have to open their eyes to how "silenced" is a profitable grift that leads to millions of people talking loudly in public, well-attended arenas, about how they are silenced.
@showmethedataBC Masks are mandatory in all provincially funded healthcare locations where patients are present. I’m guessing vax clinics qualify as provincially funded healthcare locations.
Not a word condemning Islamic Jihad for causing the hospital explosion in Gaza and killing hundreds of Palestinian civilians. Not a word from the UN. Not a word from Israel’s usual critics, who rushed to judgement with a blood libel. Not a word from Hamas (no surprises).…
@maosbot I've been saying the same thing...there was so much more comfort (which wasn't a lot) in seeing other people take at least the most basic precautions. Now there's not even that and I feel like I have to compensate by being even more careful.
@1goodtern I miss being able to walk my dogs. Out of all the things Covid stole from me, that’s the thing I think causes me the most sadness. It’s such a simple act, and one I enjoyed daily. Fresh air, sunshine, happy pups. The pure enjoyment we all felt. I miss it so badly.
@MarieSnyder27 I’ve used this in arguments before and then realized my error… Response: “LOL you get Flu shots?”
@MEMECOINCHAD @1goodtern Cause the unvaccinated are testing for covid? Not testing isn't the same as not having it
Hands up who doesn't want to catch Covid twice a year for the rest of your life.
I've had a /lot/ of people tell me they have the flu right now. In Ontario, over 16% of COVID tests are positive. By contrast, 0.3% of influenza A tests are positive, and 0% of influenza B tests are positive. My friends, it's likely not the flu you have.

@AllanSorensen @ambermac As someone who lives a fifteen minute drive from a major city and yet is in a rural "dead zone" for both internet and cell phone access (I can literally see the towers but because of my geographical location can't actually get service) the CBC provides needed service in 2023
@AllanSorensen @ambermac I remember when the Tornadoes hit Ottawa. Major power outages but I had a battery powered radio. Commercial stations were still just playing their top 40 plus whatever nonsense prescribed by their owners - CBC's coverage focused on updates.
@AllanSorensen @ambermac I too lived in the far north for 30+years. The only on connection we had with southern news, weather forecasts,etc. was CBC. Every parent listened to the wind chill forecast before bundling up kids for school. Many northerners depend on CBC to this day.
@AllanSorensen @ambermac Yes, you have just described what happened in NS during Fiona! Thank goodness for CBC being able to keep us informed as to comfort stations, road closures, and where to get gas and water!
@AllanSorensen @ambermac Tell me you live in one of Canada’s 3 largest metropolitan areas without telling me … the telecommunications system in much of Canada is still much closer to that of the 1960s.
@showmethedataBC For flu shot no. I called my family doctor for the 4 of us. Kids are getting the mist kind next week (the only reason we are waiting until next week).
@showmethedataBC @vanBCWilliam We just tag along with our toddler and they let us get ours at the same appointment.
Question: recommendations for the booster have a window of delay following infection. With no testing ... there is no reliable way to know when someone last had a covid infection. Do people just now get the booster regardless of when their last ABC infection was? Asking re: MIL
@showmethedataBC Very possible; our “baby” is 3, so he finished his Covid primary series a year ago.
