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]

Description: Jamie on Twitter: "#UVIC’s “Don’t ask, don’t tell” policy on COVID cases, based on the ridiculous notion that “COVID-19 transmission is uncommon in educational settings”, has led to this predictable result. I hope this is a wake up call for our PHO who just last week said COVID is endemic."

Title: [Response to B.C. health officials' press conference regarding leaked BC Centre for Disease Control reports]

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."

Title: Emails show Dr. Bonnie Henry knew of concerns over BC’s COVID-19 data and school exposures while publicly downplaying them | Capital Daily

Description: Internal emails show BC public health leaders, including provincial health officer Dr. Bonnie Henry, had concerns about the quality of COVID-19 transmission data collected in schools—and that those concerns persisted in private, months after officials had started making claims to the media and the public on a regular basis that the risk of transmission in schools was very low.
