Description: The BC COVID-19 Modelling team issued their twenty-fifth report on the status of COVID-19 in British Columbia (October 5th, 2022). The BA.5-driven Omicron wave persists with high rates of infection. The prolonged nature of the BA.5 wave is consistent with waning of immunity from infections and vaccinations early in the year. Future projections predict a rise in cases, even without new variants that are better able to evade immunity. Underreporting of cases is extremely high, with ~100-fold more infections currently than reported cases.

At the fastest? And this was only posted internally? What's going on, @AdrianDix @CDCofBC ? #bcpoli / Meanwhile BC kids' vaccine clinics are closed for a long stretch over the holidays, with #Omicron coming, and showing up strongly in kids in South Africa? And when they're open, in some areas kids are only vaccinated Fri-Sun? / BC booster rollout is so slow I've heard docs & nurses I know wonder if a circulating theory might be true, that @CDCofBC is studying long vax intervals vs case #s, hence the delay. They (& I) are 100% non-conspiratorial generally. But CDC does have history of this sort of study. / I don't even want to contemplate a study that unethical, that frankly criminal. As a friend pointed out, population-wide medical studies cannot cause harm. I bring this up to show the talk CDC is exposing itself to, & how deep HCWs are digging to explain the inexplicable delays."

Description: POP BC Briefing #7: Omicron in BC – PoP Response Panel to Government Press Conferences December 31, 2021 Omicron has sent case numbers to their highest levels yet, even with limited testing. There are many issues to be addressed, including: Omicron – How mild is it? Can we live with it? N95 masks for healthcare workers, including at vaccination clinics – why is this important? BC Third Dose roll out – Let’s talk intervals since last vaccine and, who should be prioritized? Is it ethical to allow healthcare workers to work while sick? Testing in BC – update on the ongoing saga of RATs (rapid antigen tests) – is usage for diagnosis an effective strategy? What are other ways to manage Omicron spread and avoid “inevitable” infection? Schools – are the “Enhanced Safety Measures” enough for Omicron? Reaction to announcements and comments made during the December 31 COVID-19 update Protect our Province BC hosted a panel of steering committee members to discuss and provide a response to Government and Public Health’s most recent COVID-19 updates from this week, those held on December 29 and 31. Members of the press and the public were invited to ask questions following the discussion.

Description: Justin McElroy on Twitter: "There are a number of signs that B.C. has entered into a 3rd Omicron wave, the length and severity of which is yet to be determined. Let's take a look at what we know at the moment. / #COVID19 measurements have risen in four of Metro Vancouver's five wastewater treatment plants the last two weeks. Prior to this, only one had been going up, the rest falling or stable. Thus far it has not been a huge spike up, but we've been down this road before. / In addition, hospitalizations had been dropping for the last six weeks. But that trend stopped last week — which by itself might not be a huge worry, but combined with global tends and local wastewater measurements, should give pause. / Lagging effects being what they are, we've seen in the last couple weeks a big fall in immediate deaths attributed to COVID. Hard to do comparisons because of the government changing measurements, but 2nd Omicron wave was similar to the 1st Omicron wave in terms of deaths. / Many places are seeing similar waves at the moment, driven by BA.4 or BA.5 variants. It's showing signs of being more transmissible and dangerous than BA.2, which fuelled B.C.'s second Omicron wave in March/April. So what is the B.C. government doing? / At this point, B.C. isn't providing data on the newest Omicron variants. One can see the growing "Other" section of variants in the chart and probably put two and two together, but it's another way in which B.C.'s lack of data makes it hard to paint a full picture. / At this point, B.C. has provided the lowest number of 4th doses of any Canadian province releasing data. Given the high numbers of British Columbians who received 1st/2nd/3rd doses, this is likely a result of government strategy to restrict access relative to the rest of Canada / Forecasting what comes next is difficult for a few reasons: - Few countries have seen a BA 4/5 plateau yet - Countries have quite different immunity profiles at this point - The quality of B.C.'s public data, which was uhhhh open to debate at the best of times, is much lower now / Will be worth watching if B.C. changes its 4th dose strategy soon, if BA 4/5 waves plateau in other countries, and what that plateau looks like in terms of health outcomes. But in the short-term hard to imagine a scenario where transmission in B.C. doesn't go up. k thread over"

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/"
