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 how BC government provides COVID-19 data]

URL: https://twitter.com/j_mcelroy/status/1423032753822466049

Description: Justin McElroy on Twitter: "Every day somebody asks if there is info on new cases/hospitalizations by vaccination status. The government doesn't provide that data with any regularity, as they always lag behind other jurisdictions in transparency of new pandemic metrics. If I had the data, I would share. / The same things that we talked about in the last week still hold: - You are at much decreased risk with two shots - The variant is very transmissible and without new restrictions cases should grow - Hospitalizations/deaths will be much lower this wave - It's still a pandemic / While we have evidence from other countries that 4th wave Delta surges plateau at a lower level than 2nd or 3rd wave, we still don't have data on how much lower they will go. And we have reopening up of schools and universities in a month. Choices ahead for the government."
