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.

URL: https://twitter.com/SoniaFurstenau/status/1422675261414277121?s=20

Description: Sonia Furstenau on Twitter: "The school year is right around the corner, but our #COVID19 plans are outdated. The #DeltaVariant has taken over - and it is more transmissible. This puts unvaccinated kids at risk, as we saw with the 150 kids <10 yrs old who tested positive in June and July. 1/ #bcpoli / A US report found that w/o masks, 70% of a classroom could contract the #DeltaVariant. As it stands, kids will not be adequately protected in schools - no vaccines for those under 12, no masks, even physical distancing of 2 m is no longer recommended. 2/ #bcpoli / It is important to prepare for a safe return and set realistic expectations in classrooms, but this gov’t needs to show they are continuing to take the risks of #LongCOVID seriously for unvaccinated children. 3/ #bcpoli / We need smaller class sizes & proper distancing, enhanced ventilation, mandatory masking, & contact tracing. All of this needs to be in place before children and teachers return to schools in September. 4/4 #bcpoli"

Description: Sonia Furstenau on Twitter: "This chapter of the pandemic has me the most worried. When we should be treating this pandemic and the Delta variant with the utmost seriousness, we are seeing increasing cases in schools, lack of support for unhoused people w/ COVID, and increasing community division. 1/ #bcpoli / Some will not get vaccinated, & we can’t ignore them. We have to protect them & their communities w strong public health measures like masks, ventilation, filtration, & effective contact tracing. We need better communications & transparency to bring them in, not shut them out. 2/ / We need masks for K-3 students, filtration and ventilation, and resources available to learn remotely whenever requested. COVID is already in our schools and spreading amongst our kids, it is not too late to prevent further transmission. 3/ #bcpoli / Lastly, we need to consider implementing an independent COVID-19 advisory panel that acts as a backstop for government data to increase credibility and trust. This gov’t has been burdened for 18 months, & this could support their hard work. 4/ #bcpoli"

To keep doing it? What recourse will students have! / Ideas for making sure profs & others keep distance when presenting? Pool noodle in every room? Someone else just suggested water guns? LOL. / . @CDC Marin County case study mean anything to these folks? / What about @jdribo experience at FSU where fully masked, vaxxed prof--in classroom with masked post sec students--with only AC for ventilation--GOT COVID! / He thinks it may be possible he picked it up elsewhere but given extended exposure and lack of ventilation & previous role of AC in spread of COVID, it seems likely the classroom setting had high exposure risk"

Description: As K-12 students are about to return to classrooms and thousands of university students move into dormitories, there are growing fears of a new wave of COVID-19 because of the lack of a provincewide indoor mask mandate and the lack of public education about airborne transmission. With that in mind, I'm sharing the results of three studies published this year in peer-reviewed journals.
