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: [Challenges of COVID-19 outbreaks at shelter facilities]

URL: https://twitter.com/brish_ti/status/1441504851150585862/

Description: Brishti Basu on Twitter: "#NEW: . @VanIslandHealth CMHO Dr. Stanwick says they've been "caught totally unawares" by lack of self-isolation spots for unhoused COVIDpositive people "The rooms we used for isolation have now been repurposed by the hotel industry into rooms for paying guests." #yyj / I asked why VIHA hasn't declare outbreaks at temporary housing facilities, while they do at LTCs: Dr Dee Hoyano said temp housing facilities are people's homes and it would be an invasion of privacy to declare outbreaks there, like it would be at apartment buildings. #yyj / I was also told by orgs like @VicCoolAid and @ourplacesociety that VIHA asked them not to share COVID case counts with residents and staff at shelters. Dr. Stanwick today: "I have no knowledge of such instruction. Each organization has its own policy" @CapitalDailyVic #yyj / he word "privacy" thrown around many times at this briefing as excuse for why residents at shelters aren't allowed to know how many cases are in their own building. Stanwick/Hoyano kept saying "this info is not for the public" in response to my q about why not tell residents / . @cindyeharnett asked about ICU at 170% capacity at Royal Jubilee. Stanwick says he’s not the right person to answer that; he's here to talk about community clusters. "We're all being stretched and stressed" due to personnel limits, not equipment/resources limit #yyj"

Description: Salim Jiwa on Twitter: "#bcpoli The human tragedies of dismantled covid protocols and public assistance infrastructure don't often come to light. But I want to tell you about an act of compassion by @SoniaFurstenau . 2nd time she's intervening to help homeless person denied a place to isolate 1/ / There have been mass infections among homeless in Victoria. One man with a fractured hip, in wheelchair, was not given a room to isolate in. He spent the night in his car parked at the beach. Furstenau found out and texted Dix. He now has a hotel room to recover from covid. 2/ / My gratitude to @SoniaFurstenau and @adriandix for helping this man. Now VIHA should act to restore facility for displaced people who have to isolate. Remember the woman who slept in her truck in a dog park. Compassion is a hallmark of civilization. 3/"

Description: Safe Schools Coalition BC hoped that the British Columbia Provincial Health Office, and Ministry of Health, would stick to their commitment of making COVID-19 exposure data in schools transparent and accessible by today, as was promised earlier in the week on Tuesday, September 21. Unfortunately, no announcement or further information released today about the new process continues a trend from this government of not meeting the needs of BC residents to make informed decisions to mitigate risks in schools.
