Phase 4 starts tomorrow…

John Horgan says no Sept 7th restart to normal, two weeks ago…

Phase 4 will only be achieved when COVID-19 is no longer a risk, due to an effective treatment, vaccination, or evidence of community immunity. Until British Columbia reaches Phase 4, there will be no rock concerts, conventions, or large gatherings of more than 50 people. Resumption of business, but not business-as-usual

Iron lung triage

Polio was a scrooge to the population prior to vaccinations, put on US president in a wheel chair for life. But true horror was the triage for for who might live when recourses were needed to be rationed. The truth of it is that you don’t mess with these things when they can be resolved, because that door may not always be open. I am familiar with one case where a young girl inn the 30’s involuntarily traded. her high school time for a life never getting out of an iron lung capsule.

That was a better outcome for people that go triaged out of that limited resource. Covid.19 is out there and so are you, it will find you in that 20 percent of unvaccinated. and you may triaged out because of your present health and age and the availability of treatment resources.

As provincial health officer Dr. Bonnie Henry was announcing tighter restrictions to cover all of the Interior Health region, she said it won’t be a surprise if the province doesn’t advance to Step 4 in September.

Emergency assistance to keep the health and safety of workers.

Trans Mountain is available to assist in wildfire management in BC.

We have offered the use of our camp communities in Merritt and Clearwater for evacuees and are currently housing evacuees and firefighters working in the area in our Merritt facility. In Kamloops, work was stood down in Kenna Cartwright Park and Pineview Park areas as requested by the City of Kamloops, with team members helping to mitigate fire risk by wetting and cutting grass in areas under active construction for the Expansion Project. Trans Mountain also supported the Robson Valley Fire Service response efforts with a skidder and water tank after a fire ignited in the North Thompson region.

Deer season and ruffled grouse ( Id be ruffled if there was open season on me)!: start open season mid August in some areas. However limited entry draws were drawn in mid June and may still be of use during emergency wildfire activities. The best laymen advise we have is to stay out the bush.

Ponderosa sports

The people of Ponderosa sports in Merritt have knowledge and will ML tell you to check the guide and Covid-19 restrictions on line as well as emergency conditions. Its common sense that putting yourself or workers in unnecessary danger can be a lot of trouble.

Sample attitude of public health officials across Atlantic Canada.

The road ahead is now clear but there are no shortcuts if you want to see New Brunswick reach that green level as quickly as possible please go out and get yourself vaccinated and encourage your family and friends to do the same thank you very much good afternoon .It is important that we don’t lose sight of our objective we know that there’s been some differences and and how we’re rolling out and moving forward in the end and of getting beyond covid we also know that we’re all very tired of this and no one’s any more tired of of than I am but this isn’t a time to lose control or lose patience or cause disruptions to friend and neighbors this is a time that we exercise restraint we keep moving in a direction that’s getting us back to life as normal and we do so in our respective areas that are providing the best health care needs and opportunities we are on the cusp here of getting back to green (normal) and will work through the issues within Atlantic region and I’m confident that we will be able to do so I’m going to be meeting with my with my colleagues our view hasn’t changed we are very comfortable with the recommendations of public health we’re very comfortable with the capabilities in our respective provinces the border between Atlanta provinces and we will make all of this work. It was a path to Green.

There are some very precise requirements to meet in order to go to the next phase it’s take it took a phase approach of easing the covid-19 restrictions it’s based on recommendations of public health and it was approved by the Covington committee
