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]

To belabour the obvious, the BC govt is refusing to protect us or our health system. / It is SO EASY & cost-effective to slow the spread of this virus, one that's causing permanent damage to both our medical system & people's bodies. We can afford to outfit everyone with N95s. I realize this is shouting into the prevailing wind of stupidity & cynical gov't. / Update: there are outbreaks on most medical floors & in psych. Also at least one case on peds. There were only 17 Covid cases on the weekend but now it's at 37 & counting. They're telling staff to use eye protection but no n95s; they do this every time there's an outbreak."

During a recent interview with @Protect_BC, he says his ICU continues to be "essentially overwhelmed," with many HCWs close to burnout. As long as case numbers are high, ICU capacity is in danger. / In summary, you have a BCPH official saying this is becoming a "casedemic" and not to worry, while an ICU doctor who treats actual COVID patients continues to sound the alarm about the dangerousness of the situation with respect to mortality and overall hospital capacity."

Description: Tom Jackman on Twitter: "A day in Canadian healthcare. Last November, I experienced a sudden onset of unexplained tremors (internal and external). I'm 42. I contacted my GP, who told me to wait and see. 6 weeks later, the tremors continued to worsen, and my GP made a referral to a neurologist. / 3mo. later, no neuro appointment received, I followed up. My GP said she would expedite the appointment, and order an MRI. She also said she would see me in her office to take a look. After much back-and-forth with the scheduler, I was finally able to book an in-person appt. / Which brings me to yesterday. I arrived at my GP's office, and was immediately told by the door person to don a surgical mask in place of my new N95, or to wear one over it. In April 2022. Every staff member and doc in the clinic was wearing a baggy blue. In April 2022. / I came home in disbelief, only to encounter this excellent if depressing piece of reporting by @brish_ti . Vancouver Island hospitals are so slammed with COVID patients that they're considering moving some patients to hotel rooms to recover. In April 2022. https://twitter.com/brish_ti/status/1518740421756604419?t=01JNzZc1FDLSBXD8rX53Rg&s=19 / Yesterday was also the date of my head MRI. I arrived at Nanaimo's NRGH and was greeted by hand sanitizer stations and baggy blue masks. In my entire time there, I didn't see a single doctor, nurse, patient, visitor, or staff member wearing a respirator. Not one. In April 2022. / The MRI tech offered me a baggy blue, but I explained that I was wearing a new N95 with nose piece removed (taped to obtain a proper seal). She responded, and I kid you not, "but if it's sealed how will you be able to breathe?" In April 2022. / So here we are, more than 2 years into a global pandemic caused by an airborne pathogen, and British Columbia's entire healthcare apparatus remains less well kitted than a transit bus in Rome. https://twitter.com/frozen/status/1517900806556569600?t=4NDST90xtzCzKQOfbY3hyQ&s=19 / If you're wondering how we got here, it's because the people in charge of setting our masking policies aren't really in favour of masks, and have never been seen in or recommended N95s. / These health officials believe vaccines are "silver bullets," and insist on stubbornly trying to prove the point while Canadian hospitals are overwhelmed. https://twitter.com/frozen/status/1367579475387375616?t=raKuqspOACLKzCyMmbm6BQ&s=19 / My advice? Follow my son's lead—not mask skeptics—and wear a quality, well-fitting respirator."
