We haven’t been dealt a bad hand. What we did was loosen restrictions despite rising variant cases, allow out-of-province travel, stall in-school mask mandates, & did not enforce orders or tailor the message. The 3rd wave is the outcome of that inaction.1/ #bcpoli #COVID19 #bced

Neither the methods nor the messaging is working. It cannot only be up to individuals to deal with this crisis. We need coordinated response from gov’t that shows they are taking threat of COVID & #LongCovid seriously for healthcare workers and people. 2/ #COVID19 #bcpoli

As #VariantsOfConcern rise, modelling predicts they will become the majority of cases in our immediate future. Some modelling predicts they currently make up 40% of cases in BC. #Ontario is at >60%. Instead of bracing for impact, let’s mitigate it now. 3/ #COVID19 #bcpoli #bced

Striving for #COVIDZero is safer than hoping for lower rolling avgs. Young people are at risk of transmitting for many reasons incl. frontline work. Gov't must consider changing vaccination rollout to target them and protect more ppl per dose. 4/ #Covid19BC #bcpoli #COVID19

The tone in BC has shifted. People are angry, they are anxious, they are scared. BC is looking for leadership, not complacency. It is time for gov’t to take ownership of the power they hold. 5/ #bcpoli #COVID19 #COVID19BC
