Another 20 British Columbians just died even though, according to Bonnie, her number one concern is reducing morbidity and mortality. What a cruel joke. As if that has ever been even close to the top of her priority list.

#bcpoli High covid death toll over weekend with 20 more deaths. With 15 of the fatalities in over 70s, 2 deaths in 40s.
Total deaths 1,622.

596, 605 and 558 new cases over 3 days. 1759 total new cases. I estimate 80 % VOC.

415 in hospital ⤵️ 150 in ICU ⤵️

6140 active.

I still don’t understand why so many are upset at those who want to hold our government accountable? This has nothing to do with which party you prefer. This is literally the life and death of our families and our communities. This isn’t a partisan issue. #bcpoli #bced

[Ron Hughes @RonaldNHughes]

6 weeks after labeling @FurnessColin a conspiracy theorist, @keithbaldrey finally acknowledges that he isn't one. NOT GOOD ENOUGH, Keith! When a prominent journalist with a "huge" Twitter feed publicly slanders someone, a proper apology is in order. @GlobalBC

More spin. It never ends. #BonnieHenry, back peddles....

[Jennifer Heighton @jheighton3]

A reminder to @bcndp @jjhorgan @CDCofBC:
If you had chosen #CanadianShield approach (6-8 wk short, sharp lockdown) in Jan/Feb, you would’ve stamped out #VoC’s and BC could have a normal existence. Businesses open.

All the current angst is YOUR FAULT. #BCfail

Proof that Harper’s low debt & small government approach gave us the smallest drop in the Great Global Recession and the biggest growth after it.

A friend’s child returns home from daycare. The child tests positive, the parents negative. They all isolate. Nine days later, both parents test positive, but it was community transmission, according to Dr. Henry. The dad is in hospital, wake up, @adriandix!

[Penny Daflos @PennyDaflos]

I have been told as recently as today by comms staff that frontline workers are not allowed to speak publicly, and many doc/nurses are speaking to me on BG because they fear repercussions. Think about that.
The health min didn't deny the gag order last wk:

BC doesn’t allow frontline workers, doctors and nurses to talk publicly about Covid. Let it sink for few seconds. Is this Canada ?

[Kate V @KateV1118]

@realreporter They really should add Brazil to the "Stop Flights" country list. Or best is just to #CloseAirports in Canada

[Sarah Sears @iamSas]

Asked why Canada isn’t banning flights from Brazil, Minister Leblanc says there currently are no direct flights to Canada from Brazil.

[Catherine @mitote83]

BC needs full lockdown please! @jjhorgan save yourself & put us in lockdown! Do you see how third wave is looking like? It will be like a tsunami wall not a wave. I am begging you to put BC in lockdown. @adriandix

[Tom Jackman @frozen]

Dr. Henry's comments today were unprofessional, unserious, and totally failed to meet the moment.

As a BC parent, I refuse to sacrifice my kid's life and health so that this person can save face. She's playing a risky game of chicken with the virus, and we're along for the ride.

[Pierre Poilievre @PierrePoilievre]

Today would be a good day for Trudeau’s tearful apology for leaving the borders open to COVID and failing to deliver enough vaccines in January & February resulting in a third wave.

[Rob DuMont @rdumont99]

IF new measures take 14 days to slow growth; & IF the province is reporting VoC's 9 days after +ve test; & IF they grow at roughly the same rate they've been growing the past ~wk THEN....

on April 12 BC will have ~3,600 cases / day.

@adriandix Are you tired of saying this? Personally I'm tired of hearing it. Make meaningful policy changes to save lives. This is why healthcare shouldn't be political. Decisions in the interest of the economic dont always benefit our health.
