COVID-19: Vancouver Island, BC (Central & North)

Collected by: Vancouver Island University

Archived since: Mar, 2020

Description:

In March 2020 the Canadian Web Archiving Coalition (CWAC) stated: "The deadly flu outbreak of 1918-19 is often called the ‘forgotten pandemic.’ Our responsibility now is to ensure the lessons of COVID-19 are not forgotten. Our collective efforts to capture and preserve the essential online elements of this unprecedented event are critical." (CARL-ABRC). The COVID-19: Vancouver Island, BC (Central & North) Web Archive reflects community experiences and responses to the pandemic in the region served by Vancouver Island University, documenting and supporting diverse aspects of scholarly inquiry, creativity, and community life. The Web Archive is intended to provide a body of information that will support scholarship, creativity, and study. Information rights related to web archiving include considerations of copyright and fair dealing, and of individual and community privacy. The following are among principles and resources that guide web archiving decisions: Ethics of care, for example in VIU Library’s Pledge to our user communities; OCAP® principles, and awareness of relationality and accountability to Indigenous communities, and potential impacts related to web archiving; Good practice and expert advice, emerging and accessed through communities of practice, e.g. the Canadian Web Archiving Coalition (CWAC); and VIU Library, Evolution of Physical Collections: 2017-2021 VIU Library, Special Collections Guidelines (Under review 2020). Web archives are informed by available capture technologies and also by affordances of the content source; not all websites can be successfully crawled or rendered, and quality of archived versions varies. This project is supported by VIU's Special Funding for COVID-19 research projects and carried out in coordination with the University of Victoria’s COVID-19 Collection and the Canadian Web Archiving Coalition. Contact us at research.help@viu.ca with questions or for more information about content included in the Web Archive. [Working description 2021 April 6]

Title: "This thread explains why I support mask mandates in k-3 and have submitted a motion asking my board to expand our current mask mandate to include k-3."

URL: https://twitter.com/JessLStanley/status/1443715341176115200/

Description: Dr. Jessica Stanley on Twitter: "I have received lots of questions about the k-3 mask mandate. This thread explains why I support mask mandates in k-3 and have submitted a motion asking my board to expand our current mask mandate to include k-3. I am happy to provide sources for my claims. 1/ / Delta is more transmissible; Covid rates among children increased 10x last year’s rates. Currently, BC children aged 9-11 have the highest rate of new infections among any age group. <12 are not eligible for the vaccination. 2/ / The CDC reports children’s hospitalization rates have increased 5x since Delta & that unvaccinated children are 10x more likely to be hospitalized. There are a greater number of Covid infections among children due to Delta & unvaccinated children are particularly vulnerable. 3/ / Although children tend to have mild symptoms and low hospitalization rates, the higher infection rates mean that the risk for children now is the greatest it has been in this pandemic. 4/ / Mask mandates in schools reduces Covid transmission and are associated with lower infection rates for students & and their family members. Concerns about emotional impacts of mask wearing among children are unfounded. 5/ / Mask wearing in children does not limit ability to breathe nor their ability to interpret & react to emotions & is not associated with negative psychological effects. Public policy must consider transmissibility & vaccine availability. Children under 12 cannot be vaccinated. 6/ / Despite vaccine ineligibility & dramatic increase in infection rates, children <10 are not required to wear masks in BC schools. In contrast, the CDC & AAP recommend “universal indoor masking for all teachers, staff, students (age 2 yrs+), & visitors to K-12 schools" 7/ / Mask mandates significantly reduce the spread of COVID-19 in school populations and thus help avoid school shutdowns. 8/ / It is clear that BC school boards have the jurisdiction to supplement the current mask mandate in public schools. The PHO has expressly acknowledged that school boards have this authority. 9/ / Given that Delta is causing dramatic increases in children’s infection rates, that children <12 are not vaccinated, that mask been shown to be effective in reducing Covid transmission, and that there is no evidence that mask wearing causes harm in children, ... 10/ / ...BC school boards should use their PHO approved authority to implement a mask mandate for all students in the K-12 system. 11/"
