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]

Description: Tom Jackman on Twitter: "This Wednesday, @VanIslandHealth , in their infinite wisdom, will combine Nanaimo's testing and vaccine sites into one. What's more, they're ending drive-through testing, so seniors desperate for a booster dose will be lined up in the same room as COVID positives. #bcpoli #bced / And to make matters worse, each one of those potential COVID positives will be forced to REMOVE THEIR MASK for their gargle test. If you thought Nanaimo's case numbers were bad now, just wait until these two groups are literally sharing the same air at the same time, everyday. / Sick people will be more likely to infect others during this process, and those COVID negatives who do the right thing and seek out testing will be more likely to come away with a dose of COVID after all. Even the scheduling line nurses think this new process is madness. / When BC's deputy health officer, Dr. Réka Gustafson, told us to stop focusing on case numbers, she cruelly meant it. These officials are trying to "tough love" their way through the Delta wave, with predictably horrible results for the rest of us. / And yeah, the absolute best/worst part of this? The combined testing/vaccination site will be in a shopping mall. It's as though BC is actively and purposely unlearning the hard-fought lessons gained during the last two years of pandemicking. https://twitter.com/DoMindDying/status/1457891078573420545?s=20"

Description: Katie DeRosa on Twitter: "To sum up the press conference in response to leaked @CDCofBC reports, BC’s top two public health officers were basically gaslighting journalists, insisting the #COVID19 data we’ve been asking for has been there all along if we only looked hard enough. Not true. #bcpoli / Data experts & epidemiologists such as @vb_jens Carolin Colijn, Sarah Otto & @Dr_Conway_VIDC have been sounding the alarm for months about how BC falls behind other provinces in terms of data transparency, specially re neighbourhood-level data, data broken down by race. #bcpoli / One small example of data gap. I asked Health pretty much for two weeks straight for # of P1 variant cases in Whistler to see whether numbers spiked after outbreak first declared. By the time they were offered, it was after mass vaccinations had dealt with the outbreak. #bcpoli / Also, if Health released daily data on the evolution of P.1 variant cases in Whistler over time, from start of outbreak, to peak, to a decline as vaccines were rolled out, it would give a clear picture of the effectiveness of mass vaccinations and could ease vaccine hesitancy."
