Description: Brishti Basu on Twitter: "#NEW: . @VanIslandHealth CMHO Dr. Stanwick says they've been "caught totally unawares" by lack of self-isolation spots for unhoused COVIDpositive people "The rooms we used for isolation have now been repurposed by the hotel industry into rooms for paying guests." #yyj / I asked why VIHA hasn't declare outbreaks at temporary housing facilities, while they do at LTCs: Dr Dee Hoyano said temp housing facilities are people's homes and it would be an invasion of privacy to declare outbreaks there, like it would be at apartment buildings. #yyj / I was also told by orgs like @VicCoolAid and @ourplacesociety that VIHA asked them not to share COVID case counts with residents and staff at shelters. Dr. Stanwick today: "I have no knowledge of such instruction. Each organization has its own policy" @CapitalDailyVic #yyj / he word "privacy" thrown around many times at this briefing as excuse for why residents at shelters aren't allowed to know how many cases are in their own building. Stanwick/Hoyano kept saying "this info is not for the public" in response to my q about why not tell residents / . @cindyeharnett asked about ICU at 170% capacity at Royal Jubilee. Stanwick says he’s not the right person to answer that; he's here to talk about community clusters. "We're all being stretched and stressed" due to personnel limits, not equipment/resources limit #yyj"

Description: Brishti Basu on Twitter: "Last week I asked @BC_Housing where unhoused COVID-positive can self-isolate in #yyj. They told me they’re working to find spaces Yesterday ppl werent allowed to isolate at Topaz Park. So once again, I asked where they’re supposed to go Sent them a yes or no question. Reply: / I also asked @CityOfVictoria mayor Lisa Helps where unhoused ppl can go without being forcibly displaced by bylaw officers. Her response contradicts everything frontline workers (see @TheBackPackPro1 ) have been saying. / Last week @VanIslandHealth CMHO Dr. Richard Stanwick said, "A tent is a not a place to isolate" as an argument against setting them up. So instead of a tent, I'm hearing a COVID-positive person had to sleep on a bench last night in the rain. #yyj / Stanwick's response was odd imo, considering there've been no outbreaks among the unhoused community in #yyj while most were living in tents, but cases are rampant now. Regardless, if a tent is not a safe space to isolate, will someone tell us where people are expected to go?"

As of Dec. 13, it's up to 124 cases / . @VanIslandHealth says they're working with UVIC to distribute rapid test kits to "individuals deemed by Public Health as close contacts to confirmed cases." Expected to be available "in the coming days" @CapitalDailyVic #COVID19BC #yyj #yyjnews / Statement from VIHA says all cases so far are "mild" since they're in a highly vaccinated community. No one has been hospitalized with COVID as a result of this cluster. Transmission happening in indoor household/social settings. #COVID19BC / Last week, UVic didn't send out a public notification, citing Island Health's policy. Local media + public at large wouldn't have known about this cluster at all without reporting from @overloaded_writ , who broke the story of cases among BCom students on Dec. 8 #COVID19BC / #NEW: BC reporting 1,129 new cases in the last 72 hours. Island Health had the 2nd highest number of new cases out of all 5 health regions, and 2nd highest number of active cases after Fraser Health. 5 people died of COVID, 1 in Island Health @CapitalDailyVic #COVID19BC"

Description: Brishti Basu on Twitter: "Latest for @CapitalDailyVic : I spoke to two doctors who work in Island Health/#yyj hospitals who say public health has not communicated any plans regarding what will happen when the predicted surge of #omicron cases hits BC hospitals: / Hospitals across the Island are nearly full already & care is already being compromised due to shortages @bcCOVID19group modelling shows even in best case scenario, BC expects 700 hospitalizations and 400 ICU by Jan 8 (For context, today there were 195 active cases in hospital) / “It’s a double whammy because not only are we over-capacity for patients, we’re short-staffed on nurses,” said @AmyTanMD “People are burnt out, people have retired, people have quit. It's actually worse than March 2020 because the system is so burnt out from two years of this. / With more #omicron patients on the way, she and James, an emergency physician at VGH and Jubilee, fear more and more healthcare workers will get infected. Consequences: more nurse/doctor shortages while they isolate + staff inadvertently spreading COVID to other patients. / One simple step they want, which ON and AB have taken: N95 masks for hospital staff to wear when in contact with COVID-positive or suspected COVID-positive patients. To do this, BC public health would have to acknowledge airborne transmission. / Anecdotally, more HCWs have been infected recently than before. But, James says, public health still says transmission doesn't happen at hospitals. The lack of adequate PPE is contributing to heightened risk + HCWs feeling like govt and public health don't have their back. / “We know if the virus is transmitted in the air, it doesn't matter where you are,” James said. “The virus doesn't know whether you're in church or whether you're in a gym or whether you're in a shopping mall, or in a restaurant.” Full story: #COVID19BC"

Not sure if this disjointed approach is also happening in other health authorities. 4/4"

Description: Brishti Basu on Twitter: "Over the past 2 days, I've had symptoms of COVID-19 tht aren't getting better: headaches, body aches, sore throat, a cough. This morning I called the Island Health testing line and, to their credit, only had to hold for 5 minutes before getting through. 1/ / After I requested a PCR test, the lady on the line asked me a number of questions and determined that even though I have symptoms, I only qualify for a Rapid Test Kit. PCR tests right now are reserved for frontline workers/vulnerable people. Ok, I get that. 2/ / So I went to the website to book a pickup time/location for the RAT kit. I chose the closest option: the Victoria Conference Centre. Turns out, there are no RATs at this site today, tomorrow, or Wednesday. The calendar wouldn't let me go beyond that. 3/ / The next best option: the former Blanshard Elementary School site. Even there, no RATs available until Wednesday. I don't know if I have COVID or not, but personally, I'm isolating for the next 10 days (except Wednesday, when I have to go pick up this test). 4/ / It's almost laughable that BC is now basing their guidance on whether or not people should isolate on the results of Rapid Tests. These are the same tests we've been told over and over are not accurate, not a panacea, not a silver bullet, etc. etc. 5/ / And if Rapid Tests are now being used widely as part of provincial policy, why not make them available at pharmacies and other locations? Why force people who may be sick to go get them personally, days after they realize they're sick? Anyway, that's my rant. 6/ / Last tweet: Just minutes after I posted this thread, I had several extremely kind people reach out and offer to share their own rapid test kits with me. I'm blown away by your generosity, and thanks to you, I'll be able to test today. Thank you thank you thank you."
