it's funny how obvious they made that when they decided they needed additional consultation with canadians, via a laughably bad voluntary post card survey, that they then used to say canadians in fact did not want change... and also taking the time to make maryam monsef look like a ditz if you had any doubts at all as to their intention, one look at that survey would have cleared them up.

So, uhh... how does one get tested for coronavirus in BC? I can't find any information online. I'm recovering from what I'm pretty sure is a coronavirus infection, so I'd like not to go into any hospitals or doctors offices if I can help it.

As someone with kids I must say 811 is a great service and I’ve never had to wait longer than 5 minutes or so. Granted most of the advice is “go to a walk in clinic” for the mundane issues I was dealing with but it’s nice to know off the bat if it is something more serious. and yeah they’ll have all the info for corona’d folks.

Welp. I spent about an hour and 40 minutes on hold with 811 before reaching a nurse. She told me I can’t get tested unless I either travelled outside of Canada or cared for or had prolonged contact with someone infected with coronavirus. She assured me I just had the flu, despite my fiancée’s mom getting sick after she came back from a trip to Gabriola Island in early February (she’s still battling it), but hey, that’s not outside of Canada so it can’t possibly a coronavirus infection. On top of it all, my workplace now is requiring a doctor’s note saying I’m fine to go back to work, which I guess means physically going in and seeing someone for that. loving hell. These past few days have been endlessly frustrating.

Yeah Telehealth Ontario is a similar service and it's just nice to be able to talk through a few things with a nurse even when 99% of the time it's "go to a clinic/the hospital you idiot"

"You need a sick note to come back to work" is literally just the legal version of "you can't skip work without a sick note". It's designed to stop you from taking sick days.

Also, I told them because I guess subconsciously I don’t really want to kill off half the office staff when I inadvertently turn into a super spreader on my first day back at work. Or at least feel responsible for killing them off after having lied to them that it’s the flu. Anyway, it’s a blanket policy from corporate for anyone taking more than 3 sick days at the same time, lol

if covid hits ns were so hosed. the insane lack of preparation here is stunning. there was one person for our whole loving region who did mask fit testing and they left the position months ago. no replacement. therefore there is no one currently ensuring healthcare staff are properly fitted for respirators. I do not have a recent fit and asked for this but have gotten no response in weeks. I am a frontline provider. we have only one type and size of mask at our site rn. we do not have a proper isolation room prepared. so many people will die here if it goes down. I have no faith in our leadership

The nurse on the phone didn’t even want to entertain the notion that a coronavirus infection could’ve been a community spread. What makes you so sure GPs don’t have the same biases? Also, thanks, the job does suck and the pay is poo poo and I haven’t had a raise in 3 years. Basically, I’m just biding my time waiting for the post-apocalypse to begin.
