Businesses and service providers are struggling to stay fully operational due to a lack of healthy and available staff. At the same time, many workers who are healthy enough to work in person fear they will not remain that way due to a lack of adequate protections. Below, we look at local examples of this: more closures of LifeLabs testing centres, and concerns from regional district and childcare workers.

Title: An open letter from Protect Our Province BC to BC Health Minister Adrian Dix and BC Chief Provincial Health Officer Dr. Bonnie Henry | December 21, 2021 | Protect Our Province BC

URL: https://protectbc.ca/an-open-letter-from-protect-our-province-bc-to-bc-health-minister-adrian-dix-and-bc-chief-provincial-health-officer-dr-bonnie-henry/

Description: Omicron moves faster than any virus we’ve ever seen. If the BC government continues to take a “wait and see” approach, it will inevitably result in a “too little, too late” public health strategy. So how can BC residents help to reduce the strain on the healthcare system?

Description: Dr. Jessica Stanley on Twitter: "I have received lots of questions about the k-3 mask mandate. This thread explains why I support mask mandates in k-3 and have submitted a motion asking my board to expand our current mask mandate to include k-3. I am happy to provide sources for my claims. 1/ / Delta is more transmissible; Covid rates among children increased 10x last year’s rates. Currently, BC children aged 9-11 have the highest rate of new infections among any age group. <12 are not eligible for the vaccination. 2/ / The CDC reports children’s hospitalization rates have increased 5x since Delta & that unvaccinated children are 10x more likely to be hospitalized. There are a greater number of Covid infections among children due to Delta & unvaccinated children are particularly vulnerable. 3/ / Although children tend to have mild symptoms and low hospitalization rates, the higher infection rates mean that the risk for children now is the greatest it has been in this pandemic. 4/ / Mask mandates in schools reduces Covid transmission and are associated with lower infection rates for students & and their family members. Concerns about emotional impacts of mask wearing among children are unfounded. 5/ / Mask wearing in children does not limit ability to breathe nor their ability to interpret & react to emotions & is not associated with negative psychological effects. Public policy must consider transmissibility & vaccine availability. Children under 12 cannot be vaccinated. 6/ / Despite vaccine ineligibility & dramatic increase in infection rates, children <10 are not required to wear masks in BC schools. In contrast, the CDC & AAP recommend “universal indoor masking for all teachers, staff, students (age 2 yrs+), & visitors to K-12 schools" 7/ / Mask mandates significantly reduce the spread of COVID-19 in school populations and thus help avoid school shutdowns. 8/ / It is clear that BC school boards have the jurisdiction to supplement the current mask mandate in public schools. The PHO has expressly acknowledged that school boards have this authority. 9/ / Given that Delta is causing dramatic increases in children’s infection rates, that children <12 are not vaccinated, that mask been shown to be effective in reducing Covid transmission, and that there is no evidence that mask wearing causes harm in children, ... 10/ / ...BC school boards should use their PHO approved authority to implement a mask mandate for all students in the K-12 system. 11/"

It’s clear that the B.A.2 variant has taken over in BC, and yet we continue to act as though we're somehow going to avoid the impacts we’re seeing elsewhere. 3/ #bcpoli / This government is desperate to maintain its narrative around its management of this pandemic, and is doing so by limiting testing, monitoring, and reporting. They have closed down community monitoring at the beginning of a sixth wave. 4/ #bcpoli #COVID19BC #COVID19 / We've seen data transparency & public guidance be the focus of a responsible public health body, like in Peterborough. It's not an impossible task for a gov't to provide clear guidance to the public on the level of risk they are at. 5/5 #bcpoli #COVID19BC https://peterboroughpublichealth.ca/covid-19-risk-index/"

Description: Katie DeRosa on Twitter: "To sum up the press conference in response to leaked @CDCofBC reports, BC’s top two public health officers were basically gaslighting journalists, insisting the #COVID19 data we’ve been asking for has been there all along if we only looked hard enough. Not true. #bcpoli / Data experts & epidemiologists such as @vb_jens Carolin Colijn, Sarah Otto & @Dr_Conway_VIDC have been sounding the alarm for months about how BC falls behind other provinces in terms of data transparency, specially re neighbourhood-level data, data broken down by race. #bcpoli / One small example of data gap. I asked Health pretty much for two weeks straight for # of P1 variant cases in Whistler to see whether numbers spiked after outbreak first declared. By the time they were offered, it was after mass vaccinations had dealt with the outbreak. #bcpoli / Also, if Health released daily data on the evolution of P.1 variant cases in Whistler over time, from start of outbreak, to peak, to a decline as vaccines were rolled out, it would give a clear picture of the effectiveness of mass vaccinations and could ease vaccine hesitancy."

Description: Salim Jiwa on Twitter: "#bcpoli We've been asking for changes in how BC is dealing with the Delta wave. Setting aside our differences with government I want to provide a thread on changes made by Dr. Henry and Minister Dix. 1/ / Contact tracing teams that have been depleted are being boosted by approximately 300 people. Additional CTs added to all regions but highest share goes to swamped 56 CTs on Island. 113 to be added there. The new additions take staffing to peak infection levels in Spring. 2/ / DBH initially said letters to parents from school exposures will not go out because they were causing anxiety. We pointed out rumours were causing more anxiety. Notifications start again this week. 3/ / 790 surgeries cancelled due to swamped hospitals. Diversion of nurses to take care of covid patients. The stretch is worse in Northern where north-east area has very low vaxx rate. 15 spaces created on Island and Vancouver to transfer out Northern patients. 4/ / Other points are vaccines and pregnancy. Pregnant women in ICU. Preterm babies and often stillborn. DBH emphasized need for vaxx for pregnant women. Safety of vaxx is proven. Please get it done. 5/ / Younger children are likely to get vaccinated as soon as data is submitted by manufacturers to Health Canada. That's likely to happen by end of October. I think it'd be helpful to mandate masks at least until these kids are vaxxed and even after. 6/"
