COVID-19: B.C. reports 19 deaths, cases in hospital drop for fifth straight day
By Simon Little Global News
Posted February 4, 2022 6:32 pm

British Columbia marked another 19 deaths related to COVID-19 Friday, as the number of cases in hospital dropped for the fifth straight day.

B.C. health officials reported 946 people with COVID-19 in hospital, an overnight drop of 39, including 139 cases in critical or intensive care...

...Officials also confirmed 1,799 new cases and 25,479 active cases, though they are thought to be significant undercounts given current restrictions on testing in the province.

Earlier Friday, the independent B.C. COVID-19 Modelling Group released its latest report highlighting what it said were “substantial gaps in data” about the virus.

“All data streams publicly available in BC to monitor the Omicron pandemic are unreliable, as a result of changing data standards and missing or inaccessible data,” the report said.

The group said limited testing and changing eligibility, limited reporting of hospital data, and a lack of wastewater testing outside of the Lower Mainland had rendered modelling of the fifth wave extremely difficult.

“Accurate, timely and consistent data is needed to understand the progress of the pandemic and the impacts of public health measures,” the report says...

If the powers that be have decided that we are "living with this" than we need to significantly increase both hospital beds and hospital staff. This is going to require increased numbers of nurses, RTs, and docs trained.

British Columbia is changing which data it releases about COVID-19 in its daily reports on the pandemic, the province's top doctor announced Wednesday.

In the coming days, the province will stop reporting numbers for "active cases" and "recoveries" in its daily pandemic updates and on the B.C. Centre for Disease Control dashboard, provincial health officer Dr. Bonnie Henry said.

Henry described the change as yet another byproduct of the way the province's response to COVID-19 has adapted due to the Omicron variant.

"We'll be modifying our surveillance reports and looking at what are the important things that we need to monitor and what is the time frame that we need to monitor those in?" the provincial health officer said...
