COVID-19: Vancouver Island, BC (Central & North)

Collected by: Vancouver Island University

Archived since: Mar, 2020

Description:

In March 2020 the Canadian Web Archiving Coalition (CWAC) stated: "The deadly flu outbreak of 1918-19 is often called the ‘forgotten pandemic.’ Our responsibility now is to ensure the lessons of COVID-19 are not forgotten. Our collective efforts to capture and preserve the essential online elements of this unprecedented event are critical." (CARL-ABRC). The COVID-19: Vancouver Island, BC (Central & North) Web Archive reflects community experiences and responses to the pandemic in the region served by Vancouver Island University, documenting and supporting diverse aspects of scholarly inquiry, creativity, and community life. The Web Archive is intended to provide a body of information that will support scholarship, creativity, and study. Information rights related to web archiving include considerations of copyright and fair dealing, and of individual and community privacy. The following are among principles and resources that guide web archiving decisions: Ethics of care, for example in VIU Library’s Pledge to our user communities; OCAP® principles, and awareness of relationality and accountability to Indigenous communities, and potential impacts related to web archiving; Good practice and expert advice, emerging and accessed through communities of practice, e.g. the Canadian Web Archiving Coalition (CWAC); and VIU Library, Evolution of Physical Collections: 2017-2021 VIU Library, Special Collections Guidelines (Under review 2020). Web archives are informed by available capture technologies and also by affordances of the content source; not all websites can be successfully crawled or rendered, and quality of archived versions varies. This project is supported by VIU's Special Funding for COVID-19 research projects and carried out in coordination with the University of Victoria’s COVID-19 Collection and the Canadian Web Archiving Coalition. Contact us at research.help@viu.ca with questions or for more information about content included in the Web Archive. [Working description 2021 April 6]

Title: [Comments on anticipated COVID-19 case numbers]

URL: https://twitter.com/j_mcelroy/status/1474093264617672722/

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."

Description: Deb M 🇺🇦🇨🇦 on Twitter: "I saw a tweet early in the year about signing up to pick up RATS from Island Health. So my husband and I signed up and scored 2 tests each. Later, I found out we were supposed to call first to be screened. I tried again and they fixed the glitch. 1/ / I had symptoms and tested myself but it was indeterminate b/c I have sinusitis and there is always a bit of blood in my nostrils. So it’s going to be impossible for me to rely on RATS. 2/ / Our family ordered RATS in late Dec. b/c other than for me they will be of use. But we got this message. ⬇️ Our shipment is delayed b/c the supplier has a contract with the govt that requires them to supply them first. So… BCers are at the end of the line!!"
