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.

I am disappointed by the updated guidelines for preventing COVID-19 transmission in BC schools. 1/ #bcpoli / In year 3 of returning to school in a pandemic, we know better than to rely on vaccines and staying home when sick. As @a_longhurst reported, “BC’s sole reliance on vaccines is not working to prevent constant waves of (re)infection, hospitalizations and Long COVID”. 2/ #bcpoli / We know that masking, standardized ventilation and filtration, testing & vaccines contribute to better protection for all. 3/ #bcpoli / The @bcndp says they've spent $166 million upgrading ventilation in schools, but they haven’t shared which have had upgrades and which haven’t. More people in BC have died from COVID-19 in 2022 than ever before. We must recognize our reality and adapt to it. 4/4 #bcpoli"

Children's wards and ERs are overwhelmed and operations for children and infants are being cancelled. #bcpoli 1/ / We need public health guidance on how to reduce transmission of the viruses that are circulating in BC. Instead, the @bcndp has quietly removed isolation requirements for people with COVID-19, reduced testing & reporting, and has given inadequate guidance on masking. 2/ / The independent review of BC's pandemic response released on Friday highlights that the @bcndp ’s repeated failure to communicate public health guidance left BCers distrustful and uncooperative with public health measures. 3/ / Where are the organized efforts of the @bcndp to keep people healthy? Vaccines are one tool, but given the conditions we are seeing right now, more needs to be done to prevent illness, especially in children. #bcpoli #healthcare 4/ / Ventilation, testing & publicly reporting data, wearing masks in high-risk public settings like classrooms, on transit, and in grocery stores - these can help reduce the risk of transmission but have received little investment by the @bcndp . 5/ /

Title: "There are a number of signs that B.C. has entered into a 3rd Omicron wave"

URL: https://twitter.com/j_mcelroy/status/1544054073187479552/

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"

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"
