The first #COVID19 #data released by the #BritishColumbia for #Disease Control since the official end of the province's #PublicHealthEmergency shows #hospitalizations decreasing, but still near their highs for the year.

There were 175 test-positive #COVID patients in #BChospitals as of Thursday, according to the #BCCDC. That's down from 204 at the start of last month, but still the fourth-highest total of 2024, and more than double the 76 people #hospitalized at this time last year.

The BCCDC's most recent update showed 368 new, lab-confirmed #COVIDinfections in the province, though that number significantly #underestimates the spread of the #virus because most people in the province do not qualify for lab-based testing.

I don't understand how this is ok with anyone? How it can keep getting explained away or ignored. Day after day incredibly long waits at #BCCH and other #BcHospitals Can you imagine having a sick child, crying, in pain, possibly no doctor, can't get into walk-in clinic, desperate and go to emergency to find you have to wait 5-12 hours at least (times I have seen over last couple weeks) with them? Meanwhile #BcNDP do nothing? No masks, no warning, just "Endemic" talk, kids are fine 🤯 #bcpoli
