“Even without hospitalization, many of these infections have long-term consequences, from organ damage and immune issues to increased risks of cancer and dementia. It’s unconscionable that we aren’t doing everything we can to reduce these risks" dailyhive.com/vancouver/bc-b…

COVID cases in BC and across Canada are increasing, decreased waste water testing and reporting is not going to prevent people from getting sick and hospitals becoming overrun.
Dr. Lyne Filiatrault@DrFiliatrault

I had not seen this change to wastewater reporting both in coverage and frequency. Typical @CDCofBC & BC PHO's approach to disappearing an ongoing pandemic "don't test, don't tell, don't show and don't know." What could go wrong? #bcpoli @ratnegative bccdc.shinyapps.io/respiratory_wa…

Parent advocacy groups have asked the Ministry of Health to install HEPA filters in all BC schools to protect our kids with no results. Private schools like St. Georges upgraded their HVAC's with HEPA filters according to ASHRAE guidelines. x.com/InspiredAquaCA…

Ag. Minister Lana Popham: "There’s about $30,000 for 75 egg and poultry producers to add things into their barns like HEPA filters, to install ultra-violet light systems" 🙄 Hey @Josie_Osborne why aren't there HEPAs and UV systems in BC schools to protect our kids from Covid?
