8. BC does nothing to mitigate asymptomatic spread in schools. There are no masks required in schools.

13. The PHO changed the definition of an outbreak. Every Province and Country in the world uses the same definition. The PHO does not. The BCTF did not challenge them on this.
14. The BCTF has not demanded that the PHO provide peer reviewed science.

15. The BCTF has not demanded an accounting of the amount of infections there have been in schools. It would take one email to 60 Superintendents. Superintendents are told about every #bced case.

16. The BCTF could apply to the LRB to have teachers withdraw services in schools and work from home until more precautions are put in place to protect both students and teachers — that are based on verifiable peer reviewed science.

17. The @bctf needs to push for more accountability and transparency for #bced. Same definitions as other Provinces or else PHO can claim low transmission with false data and definitions.
The @bctf have responsibility to members to ensure we’re safe first.

18. Apply to the LRB to withdraw services from schools and direct members to work from home. Then negotiate with the LRB problem solving tribunals while members are safe.
The time lag in decision making is leaving members vulnerable, particularly in FH.

19. The @bcndp need to determine, quickly, how they define the “greater good”.
Does that simply mean the economy?
Or does it mean that we leave the planet better off, overall, for our children?

20. Currently over 4000 children have tested positive for COVID-19 in #bced.
21. 30-50% of them could develop long-haulers which means they could be dealing w/ neurological damage, heart and lung scarring, headaches, fatigue, brain fog, etc.
Is that for the greater good?
