Wow, does Dr. Henry not think school staff / students. and their families worth protecting ? Very strange seeing mixed messages from BC politicians..... I guess Virtanen is just following Dr. B's messages..... She encourages the use of masks if there is little chance of social distancing, which was hardly the case in the schools. Are you aware that not a single child that attended school caught the virus? There was a teacher that tested positive, but he/she was infected outside the classroom bubble. There's really no story here. Dr. Henry and her staff have a much better understanding of what the virus is doing in BC as they are studying the immense amount of stats they receive every day. The team has had a 98% rate on tracing any positive tests and have been very successful at stopping any potential community breakouts. These individuals are incredibly knowledgeable and experienced individuals who are committed to getting us through this pandemic. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hope you aren't in the risk factor category. 11 hours ago, debluvscanucks said: Hope this turns out ok for you....please keep us posted. I worry...not long ago when I was experiencing my bleeding throat issue, I had to see an ENT who TRIED to put a camera through each nostril to look down my throat. He said I had the worst deviated septum he'd ever seen...couldn't even do the right side. I hope the test could be on either side or I wouldn't be able to do it. Please be well...I'm sorry to hear you're so sick. Fortunately the test turns out to be negative, although the tests are just 70% accurate. But being father to a toddler with chronic medical issues and with another 6 month old... had to self-isolate from them. Still not sure what is ailing me though. Nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, fever, chills, fatigue, body aches, with coughing probably due to throat irritation from the reflux.... nothing like blacking out while waiting at ER. The bright side in all this.... at least I didn't have to change any diapers this week so far, lol. 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Junkyard Dog Posted July 2, 2020 Share Posted July 2, 2020 Promising clinical trial results for COVID-19 vaccine coming from Vancouver-based biotech company Quote VANCOUVER (NEWS 1130) — A promising update is coming from a Vancouver-based biotechnology firm that is helping a German company to develop a vaccine for COVID-19. Dr. Thomas Madden, the President and CEO of Acuitas Therapeutics, says preliminary results from clinical trials are good. But, “There’s still a lot more clinical studies that need to be conducted.” “The vaccine that they’re testing appears to be generally well-tolerated and gives rise to roughly effective levels of antibody in these volunteers.” Madden adds the company is focusing on making this medicine more effective. “This vaccine is using a new technology called MRNA and if you inject it into the body, it would be rapidly broken down. Acuitas provides the delivery technology that protects the mRNA after it’s administered and then, carries it into the cells.” Madden and his staff of 25 are working with BioNTech to ensure the vaccine is effective once it’s injected and there’s hope it could be available early next year. “General expectation is that a vaccine could become available early in 2021,” he says. “We’re very fortunate that there are a fairly large number of different vaccine candidates in development. We are hopeful that as many as those as possible will be successful.” He says the key challenges are that once a vaccine is ready, it is making sure it is safe, then being able to make enough of it fast enough to make it globally available. https://www.citynews1130.com/2020/07/01/promising-clinical-trial-results-for-covid-19-vaccine-coming-from-vancouver-based-biotech-company/ 2021 if it works. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you really think small kids are able to effectively social distance ? Hardly the case. By opening schools and providing no PPE / masks / sanitizer to students and schools ... Horgan and Dr. B basically set the example for the general public to not take precautions indoors. This was in my opinion very short sighted. It sent a message to people to not take this virus seriously.... The wearing of masks is not needed. Dangerous message for our government to send out.

With only 15-20% of the students returning to school, I wouldn't think it that difficult to allow for appropriate social distance. Again, not a single child was infected. Nobody knows what this situation will look like in the fall, so there's no point in addressing it right now. 1 hour ago, kingofsurrey said: By opening schools and providing no PPE / masks / sanitizer to students and schools ... Horgan and Dr. B basically set the example for the general public to not take precautions indoors. I don't see that at all. Seems to me, the general public is very clear about the guidelines that have been set. BC #s for new cases continues to look very good. I though there would be a noticeable uptick in new cases due to the protests, but apparently 85% of the participants were wearing masks. General public taking precautions at it's best! 1 hour ago, kingofsurrey said: This was in my opinion very short sighted. It sent a message to people to not take this virus seriously.... The wearing of masks is not needed. Dangerous message for our government to send out. You are certainly entitled to your opinion Kos. Imo, people are taking the virus seriously and the message from the experts (including the guidelines) have been loud and clear. So far, the province has been able to maintain low levels of new cases and more importantly, low levels of ICU admissions. As stated before, any positive cases are taken care of by the fantastic tracing done by Dr. Henry and her staff. Even though there may be a spike in the stats, the approach will be the same. Stay calm...be kind...and follow the guidelines. Adjustments will be made as required, but I have no doubts that our health care experts will continue to lead us in the correct direction. #Kudos to Dr. Henry, Mr. Dix and Premier Horgan.

thedestroyerofworlds Posted July 2, 2020 Share Posted July 2, 2020 Well, he did wrestle as a character that easily fit as a heal. Definitely not a baby face thing there Glenn. At least he was the only dissenting vote. https://sports.yahoo.com/kane-glenn-jacobs-wwe-mask-ordinance-knox-county-003253444.html Former professional mask wearer, current mayor votes against mask ordinance in his county The board of health in Knox County, Tennessee — home of Knoxville and the University of Tennessee flagship — voted Wednesday to mandate masks for anyone inside certain buildings. The vote was one shy of being unanimous, but that dissenter, Mayor Glenn Jacobs, raised plenty of eyebrows. That is because Jacobs, as you might remember, was once one of the most prominent mask-wearers in the United States during his previous career, as the famed WWE professional wrestler Kane. This is how he once looked at his night job: Knox County mayor Glenn Jacobs was once quite in favor of masks. (Photo by George Pimentel/WireImage) More Jacobs was elected mayor of Knox County in 2018 via a close Republican primary and a landslide win in the general election over Democrat Linda Haney. While he ran as a Republican, Jacobs identified his political beliefs as libertarian when talking to Yahoo Sports about his burgeoning political career. In practice, the sight of Jacobs wearing a mask have been rare on his social media accounts, though he did make an exception for a visit to the East Tennessee Children’s Hospital.

Great candidate for future POTUS as we have obviously slipped into a dimension based on the movie 'Idiocracy'. He will feed the plants energy drinks and the top reality tv show will be called 'Ow my balls' 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
