Description: Trapped in Covid Ground Hog Day on Twitter: ". @SoniaFurstenau @ElizabethMay @AMacGregor4CML @VIHA @VIUniversity How is it possible with the numbers of schools & #VIU campus in #Cowichan that we now have no #VIHA testing sites for #COVID19? Surely that’s a mistake? If not, something needs to be done ASAP!"

Title: [Christmas market at Cowichan Community Centre not requiring proof of vaccination]

URL: https://twitter.com/jhengstler/status/1462165714387681286/

Description: Trapped in Covid Ground Hog Day on Twitter: "Briefly toyed with idea of attending indoor holiday market at #CowichanCommunityCentre in #Duncan #BC this weekend. I called Centre office & when I asked they said they are not checking #VaccinePassports. So it was a definite No-Go for us. @DuncanCowichan @CowichanCitizen / For those interested in managing their #COVID19 risk exposure at public events, here is the link to #CowichanCommunityCentre #Duncan #BC Christmas Chaos fair’s ‘ communicable disease prevention plan’ https://cvrd.ca/DocumentCenter/View/102047/Chaos-Communcable-Disease-Plan---2021 @DuncanCowichan @CowichanCitizen / According to @mycvrd 'Indoor Markets: [are] exempt from Proof of Vaccination. …Proof of Vaccination is not required to attend & capacity numbers are not limited to 50 at a time; Masks will be required for people age 5+ since it is an indoor public space' / FWIW my husband just finished a indoor craftshow in #Vancouver that required proof of vaccination for both vendors & attendees. Other shows in other facilities also require proof of #vaccination. / BTW vs #CVRD not requiring #vacvinepasdports for INDOOR Christmas chaos…another person pointed out to me via a private group that the #Vancouver OUTDOOR Christmas Market requires #vaccinepassports for attendees. @DuncanCowichan @CowichanCitizen"

Description: Trapped in Covid Ground Hog Day on Twitter: "Neighbor’s son attends #CowichanHigh —in Duncan —tested #COVID19 positive ( 2xRAT results positive) after small teen gathering with 4 more teens positive. Told parents to contact @BCschoolCovid on Facebook via private message. Kid’s exposure was likely Sunday. / Dropped off box of #kn95s along with info on how likely biggest threat for them is shared air; kid has own room—now with fan set up blowing air out. Nearby bathroom—told them he needs to mask any time leaving bedroom for bathroom; feed him on paper plates & disposable cutlery… / Keep garbage bag in room for contaminated paper plates, used tissues masks etc They took screen out so can be dropped out window for later pick up. If parent needs to go in bedrm -#kn95s needed, etc. Masks good for 8hrs use; kid should hang & not handle mask or leave lying around / Was in town & saw more #kn95s for sale—called neighbor & asked if he wanted more. He had me pick up 2 boxes. Store has them behind the counter now, so you have to get them at register."

Title: "Omicron got into our house"

URL: https://twitter.com/jhengstler/status/1484199931145379841/

Description: Trapped in Covid Ground Hog Day on Twitter: "So #Omicron got into our house—youngest started symptoms late 1/14 with runny nose—tested + on 1/16; husband & I tested negative up until am of 1/19 when symptoms began in previous evening; oldest felt symptoms last night—tested neg—tested again this am & positive / We isolated youngest, put #HEPA in room, window open with fan pointing out, house sys is #MERV16 , designated bathroom—keeping doors shut —had him masking if went to bathroom—etc. Still got out—likely exposed me in early stages as I was working closest to him for a while. / So despite youngest being double vaxxed—5 days after first symptoms -1/19 -he was still testing positive on #rapidtest . So looking like the ‘not infectious 5 days’ info isn’t accurate —what a surprise 🙄 / Now think of how many double vaxxed are going on official #BC #PHO advice they only have to quarantine for 5 days without test/confirmation they are no longer infectious? / Youngest tried to joke when I tested him for ‘just the sniffles’ then he was positive. Wasn’t so funny then or as the rest of us got it…🙄"

Description: Trapped in Covid Ground Hog Day on Twitter: ". @SoniaFurstenau @AMacGregor4CML Can you look into why #VIHA might be actively dissuading school communities from providing donated #rapidtests even to SYMPTOMATIC students & families in Cowichan Valley when they can’t get them elsewhere right now? @CowichanCitizen @PennyDaflos / Please ask #VIHA about messaging sent to school admin in #CowichanValley about possible school community funded (via families or community donations) provision of #rapidtests when they health authorities are no longer providing them! / And why not allow school communities to self source #rapidtests especially now that your constituents’ #CowichanValley has its first functional closure for #COVID19 ? 👇"
