Hard to believe that the BC gov did not even support mandatory masks on Skytrain.... and the BC gov wanted bars to be open..... wow... Add in open invitation by BC gov to all Albertans to come holiday here in BC. When i read that the BC gov was supporting the use of glory holes ...... i quickly realized our government had NO plan for covid.

Now I still support the extra pre auctions but he does have a good point that health of everyone needs to really become a priority for the future as opposed to dealing with essentially sick people and this just pushes them over the top to death or worse health.

Undrafted Posted August 26, 2020 Share Posted August 26, 2020 Only two days in to having mandatory face coverings on transit and I'm already seeing an ugly trend: young people getting on the bus with their mask on, and then pushing the mask down under their chin or letting it hang off of one ear as soon as they sit down. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Young people don't need to wear masks.... that is what Dr. B and Horgan told them about the return to school..... Young people need clear and consistent messages.... seems almost like Horgan and Dr. B have no experience working with children / youth.

Dudes in their early 20's can't ride skytrain 30 minutes without a mask... but dudes that are 18 yr old can spend all day in poorly ventilated classroom with no windows - no mask required and no social distancing required.

The double standard, and possible repercussions of it, are absolutely staggering. First the elderly of the province paid the price, now the government is forsaking the children by sending them back to school under poorly thought out circumstances.

Unconscionable! not to mention that students and satff will now be exposed to hundreds of people every day and that means that we can no longer risk seeing vulnerable people. I have a 94 year old grandmother I would love to spend what little time left I have with her and a diabetic father with cancer.......also out. I understand kids need to be at school and I want to be there as well, but I also want to be able to spend time with loved ones withut fear of infecting them or worse. I don't know what the answer is, but I know it isn't 30 kids in the classroom from the get go. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've never understood the whole divider between desks thing, and wearing masks. If some kid is an asymptomatic carrier, then his mere presence for days on end is enough to compromise students. The barriers in place won't work. Being physically absent is the best protective measure. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Being physically absent is the best protective measure. Small group alternate day attendance wt mandatory daily health checks and thorough cleaning between cohorts being in building/classrooms. Not 100% foolproof nor convenient for some I realize, but FAR safer for students and staff than simply throwing everyone into full-time attendance with essentially no other meaningful measures in place as is the plan right now. There are several things the PHO/MoE should and could be doing but they, for reasons unknown, refuse. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
