I've been watching some NFB stuff lately and you can, too! They've added some pretty neat stuff recently. Some People Have to Suffer (1976) quote:This film documents a community's struggle to survive in the face of government indifference and the political and financial clout of industrial developers. In 1953 the residents of Bridgeview, British Columbia, were promised sewers; following years of debate, frustration, meetings and verbiage, construction started in 1977. The film interviews some of the residents, who state their opinions frankly both to the camera and at meetings. When the film was shown at the Habitat conference in Vancouver, 1976, press coverage noted: "The Third World is merely twenty miles from the site of Habitat." https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4DyWzdEw9ac 4:28: "Bridgeview is one of the few areas in greater Vancouver where a working class family can afford to own a home" There's also a book that discusses this situation called "Mudflat Dreaming" i would like to get my hands on. The Rise and Fall of English Montreal (1993) quote:In the past 20 years, some 300,000 English-speaking people have left Montréal, convinced they had no future in a Québec that had become increasingly French, increasingly nationalistic. In this video we meet some of the people who are moving away and recall the days, in the last century, when there were more English-speaking people than French in Montréal. The video poses a controversial question: Will the city, with its youth leaving in great numbers, become a community of the elderly, unable to renew itself? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WoYIZwPXXWU

Update in BC: https://twitter.com/j_mcelroy/status/1476330408614588416?s=21 B.C. health officials announced a record-breaking 2,944 new cases of COVID-19 since Tuesday and five more deaths since Dec. 24. So your genius plan is to… let SOME kids go to school, and then a week later, let the rest? Incompetent assholes, the lot of them.

This is an acknowledgement that schools are a replacement for a functional child care system. The idea is that you allow children of essential workers to go to school so they have somewhere to be while their parents are working. In some provinces that instituted a plan like this, they cut if off for children of essential workers who would be old enough to care for themselves at home alone.

In the UK deaths have remained level. In NY, deaths have increased marginally. However I did look into the hospitalizations in those locations and yeah it's concerning. Obviously deaths lag hospitalizations which lag cases, so now I'm a bit more concerned.

Also Ontario and BC hospitalizations are ticking up. Kenney has every incentive to, and has in the past, downplay the risk of COVID. The messaging so far has been that this is serious and unknown. I'm not a cspam doomer, I accept Omicron may be less serious or lead to less deaths, but the case counts are absolutely exploding and the only way that's not disastrous is if Omicron IS way less serious. Even then, if we max out our hospitals, it'll still be bad. I'm not presaging the end of society or whatever, just saying the numbers don't look good and there doesn't seem to be much of a plan other than lets hope it's less serious. Especially because if in late January we see hospitalizations spike past what we can handle, it'll be too late to do anything other than dig lots of graves

It's definitely not a good time to see a bunch of graphs turn to vertical asymptotes.

Where can I find wastewater COVID analysis data? I find lots of sites talking about how it’s being done, but no actual day to day graphs. Seems like viral load in wastewater would maybe give us an idea of just how prevalent Omicron is at this point.

The news on waste water testing is that omicron is basically 100% in all jurisdictions. There's been a bunch of small reports in early December with that (as ww testing leads general pcr testing by a couple of weeks). No ongoing reports that I have found though.

Nova Scotia is the same way but isn't doing the Children Of Essential Workers bit, which I think is what the OP is citing as the mask off indicator.

I love how BC is keeping its numbers down by pulling a Chernobyl and only measuring with a tool that's already maxed out. Just don't count rapid tests and allow your testing centers to be over capacity. Imagine the money cities could save by only buying thermometers that can't measure temps below 0c. We wouldn't need to salt the roads or plow because the evidence wouldn't be there to justify such drastic action.

I (and people I know) had no trouble getting tested in Island Health (even without symptoms), but apparently it was really tough to get tested in the vancouver coastal HA . Not sure about the others
