We need clarity, not confusion, from the @bcndp.
It is becoming increasingly difficult to understand what informs #COVID19 decision-making in BC. Our healthcare system is struggling, health care workers are burning out, & patients’ needs are not being met. 1/ #bcpoli #COVID19BC

Clear communication must be coupled with access to the tools that reduce transmission, including access to PPE and N95s, rapid tests, and the data and research that inform decisions - this needs to be a priority for the gov’t. 2/ #bcpoli #COVID19BC
Continually blindsiding businesses shows a disregard for how challenging the last 2 years have been for the over 1 million people employed by small businesses. After so much turmoil they need as much stability & certainty as gov't can provide. 3/ #bcpoli #BCbusiness #COVID19BC
@ChiPublicHealth I’ll get a head start:
1- if there was a measles outbreak at a school, would you recommend closing it? Or would you tell parents to grin and bear it?

#AskDrArwady
@ChiPublicHealth 2- If the answer is the former (close schools), then why is @ChiPubSchools open during a peak COVID wave with the most transmissible variant (Omicron) to date?

@ChiPublicHealth 3- Are you aware that #Omicron is considered to be the 2nd most transmissible disease in the world (behind measles) by many medical professionals? If so, I again ask: why is @ChiPubSchools open during the peak of the Omicron surge in this city?

Why are we so worried about #Omicron? Brilliant talk by Emma Hodcroft @firefox66 at @MCIDBern symposium @unibern

#Omnicron Prof Bruce Melado is presenting the predictions for the fourth wave. The peak in infection is expected to be higher and sooner over the next few weeks. KM
Fresh rules for international travelers in view of Omicron variant come into effect from Dec-1. Testing at airports across India is mandatory for travelers coming from "at-risk" nations while those arriving from other nations will undergo random testing.

India is set to resume regular international flight operations from Dec-15. The new rules are crucial for international passengers arriving in India & may affect travel plans for many. Even though India has not reported any Omicron variant case as yet, officials are concerned.
All international arrivals in India need to fill a self-declaration form & submit a negative RT-PCR report. Those arriving from "at-risk" nations must give their samples for testing. If found positive, they will be quarantined & the samples will be sent for genome sequencing.
1. La proteina 'Spike' tiene más de 32 mutaciones. Recordemos que esta proteína es la que ayuda al virus a entrar al cuerpo humano. De acuerdo a estudios al momento se sabe que tiene 10 mutaciones que facilitan mayor entrada = mayor virulencia/transmisibilidad.
2. De acuerdo a datos pre-liminares se presume es más transmisible que delta, pero no si es más grave (esto tomará 1-2 semanas en conocer), pero por lógica a tener personas no vacunadas da la posibilidad de tener muchos más casos. Ojo.
South African President Cyril Ramaphosa: "We now know #Omnicron has far more mutations than any other previous variant... We know that variant is different from other circulating variants and that it's not directly related to the Delta or Beta variants." #COVID19

Lots of people who don’t remotely mind terrified, freezing refugees drowning in the Channel will shortly appear here, incandescent with rage that they may be required to wear a piece of fabric over their nose & mouth for 15 mins when they’re in a shop.

Someone just told me that their ancestors fought for their right not to comply with mask mandates, and now I want the earth to swallow me. 🤦🏻♂️ #covidiots #covidvariant #COVID19

It’s 20 years since I had to ask a PR firm to remove Priti Patel from the account of the conservation charity I was running because she was so rude to our junior staff, and I see she is still being uninvited to meetings even now she holds one of the great offices of state.
