I probably shouldn’t post about this… It’s just that watching my wife suffer through covid this last week and rush back prematurely to an unmasked #bced school is beyond disheartening. I feel sick.
After barely 6 covid sick days off, bced staff started calling, desperate for her to return to work. There were no substitutes available to cover for my wife, who previous to covid has had to live with fibromyalgia and chronic fatigue.
She is now slowly recovering from a #covid infection she received from the unmasked #bced class she’s so hastily been thrown back into.
This is truly unsustainable #bctf. Covid sick students should be masked. Fellow staff and teachers should be masked. My wife got sick while wearing an N95 everyday simply due to the unchecked viral load being accepted and normalized in #bced schools.
If we’ve learned anything this last year, it’s that one way masking is just not good enough. Does #worksafebc even care? I’m sorry but your child’s maskless attendance should not be more important than my partner’s lifelong health.
Due to my wife’s diligent masking while sick, I managed to avoid covid this time. We also slept apart every night and barely saw each other this last week.
It’s not lost on me, however, that had parents and teachers done the same and masked their sick kids, this all could have been avoided.
In the end we’re all only as strong as our weakest link. In this case our weakest link is our covid minimizing, uncaring “top doctor” health minister #BonnieHenry.
Teachers are not expendable. Society should be #masking to protect them. I can’t believe I’m begging people to care at year four of this tragic pandemic but that’s where we’re at.
Our #educators lives matter, care for one another and #MaskUp ‘cause this #bcndp govt has long since signed off on sickness.
