My 10yr old: Can they please make masks mandatory!! I am tired of being the only one in class. Can't even go one minute in there without someone coughing. I am scared to go anymore mom.
NEW - Health Minister Adrian Dix, Dr. Bonnie Henry and Penny Ballem will provide an update on Monday at 11:30am on protecting children through the influenza season. Kids vaccination rates continue to be low. #bcpoli
2 kids, 2 different schools today. One in highschool, one in elementary.
Both are the only ones wearing a mask in their classes 😪
Their dad is in Stage 5 kidney failure and on dialysis. They don't have a choice but to wear one; sure wish others thought of more than themselves!
Kids. Are. Not. Supposed. To. Die. Of. Preventable. Diseases.
It’s bad enough that the majority of kids hospitalized for COVID have been during the Omicron waves (“mild”?-hah!); now 2 have died in 2 weeks?
WHY DID BC DITCH MASKS? Far-right whiners?🙄
@bcndp You are culpable.😡
This is on every superintendent, trustee, school admin member, CUPE and BCTF unions, in addition to the MLAs, @adriandix@JM_Whiteside@jjhorgan@bcndp#DBH.
Every.Single.Person. Who had power to say STOP, but instead chose to say they were “following directions”.

@maryianneswango It's a big decision, I respect that 100%!
Family isnt always a match; actually way less than 50% of the time we were told.
If you decide to try & start the process to even see if you would match, they get a full history from you to see if it's a possibility/or if you should wait.
Not my usual tweet content here but I need your help.
My husband needs a kidney transplant. Please have a read and call to get tested if you can. Share too (anyone can donate from around the world) 💕

🧵 Another initiative from @SafeSchoolsBC:
We would like to confirm that @BCInfoPrivacy has opened a file on our request for review re: the FOI requests for all 60 #bced districts regarding the lack of #COVID exposure notifications to parents & staff. The review is now underway.
@maryianneswango The initial test is a blood test so it can be done anywhere. You just need to contact VGH as in the letter and they will walk you through the steps :)
1/Short 🧵:
This is not the first time @jjhorgan ignored evidence & downplayed the virus so people would let down their guard (aka spend $). Remember July 2021?
So, JH, will you resign if your irresponsible message results in overrun hospitals YET AGAIN?

@crystalmundypsy My husband tore both of his, 2 year apart. Look into a very good physiotherapist! Also, pain meds, ice pack and lots of rest (yes, I know that's almost impossible lol). A sling may help for short term relief too.
Hope it's nothing too serious and heals quickly 🤞
How is it that Dr. Henry gets away with these falsehoods? "Omicron causes *less* severe illness in children"? See video clip ⬇️
Yet @CDCgov study shows children under 5 were *5 times more likely* to be hospitalized with Omicron.

@bcndp??? Fire her.🤥
Wow, @jjhorgan admits #COVIDisAirborne & crowded classrooms all day can be stressful for teachers, parents & students as a result!
#bced is looking forward to you reinstating mandatory masks, as important source control for an airborne virus. #HEPA needed too (#BA2 is dominant)!
