Description: BCTF on Twitter: "The Omicron variant has changed the pandemic. It's more transmissible and has a shorter incubation. Safety measures in #bced schools must change too. Thousands of students remain unvaccinated and too many workers are waiting for boosters. The #bcpoli government must act. 1/6 / When #bced schools come back in January, teachers, support staff, and students need the employers (school districts) and #bcpoli government officials to step up and protect them and all the people we go home to. Here some actions they can take: 2/6 / 1. Provide free N95 masks to those who need or want them. 2. Ensure districts and school admin are enforcing mask-wearing. 3. Implement a rapid testing regime for students and staff. 4. Allow district officials to share info on exposures and clusters. #bced #bcpoli 3/6 / 5. Limit the size of school gatherings and move all meetings to virtual. 6. Revise the daily health assessment to recognize Omicron's symptoms. 7. Stagger start, lunch, recess and end times 8. Ramp up testing and vaccinations during the winter break. #bced #bcpoli 4/6 / #BCed districts also need to address the gaps in air ventilation. There are still many school sites where MERV-13’s are not in place. Opening windows is not a real option in parts of the province that face bitter cold. #bcpoli 5/6 / Our reps at the provincial and local offices have been meeting and communicating with government and district officials throughout the week. If keeping #bced schools open is the goal, then they need to do much more and communicate it clearly before the New Year. #bcpoli 6/6"

Description: Justin McElroy on Twitter: "When you factor in the rapid growth of Omicron, the delays in testing in Vancouver, and many people on Vancouver Island are being asked to wait 2-4 days to get a test, the numbers on the 29th could be unfathomably high. However... / What we saw last Christmas was a decrease in testing the days directly around Christmas because people didn't want to get tested so they wouldn't have to cancel plans — but then testing and cases shot up quickly right afterwards. Which *could* happen again! / All of which is to repeat what we've been saying for the last week: cases will go up massively, other jurisdictions will give strong hints of where we're heading, exact accuracy more difficult than ever right now. It is frustrating, but the unfortunate reality. / UPDATE: the government phoned me back, and said they are looking at ways to provide data about the deadly pandemic over the four days where no information is currently scheduled. Unsure if the two people that told me there was no data were wrong, or if government is scrambling. / (we're all having a good time, aren't we) / How is the test-trace-isolate strategy going? Tests: days to get one on Vancouver Island, people turned away in Vancouver, less rapid tests than anywhere outside Newfoundland Trace: signs it's already being overrun Isolate: see above on testing + no Christmas travel ban / Quebec has over 9000 cases today, Ontario nearly 6000, goodness knows lots of places are struggling with the incredible transmissibility of Omicron. But it feels like if the optimistic projections for Omicron's virulence are wrong, we're in a less than ideal place to respond."
