Letters to The Sun, Jan. 23, 2021

Over the past four years, our family intervened and saved the live of a sibling who was destitute, suffering from long-term drug and alcohol abuse, multiple strokes and early dementia. There is absolutely no possibility that he had the capability or will to navigate, arranging to see a doctor, know to or gain access to a counsellor, apply for a disability pension, or find suitable accommodations.

How can one enjoy such events when others are begging with no place to call home. And what will tourists tell their friends? Yes, a beautiful city that now reeks of urine and garbage, and where some of its most vulnerable citizens don’t have the basic necessities of life.Home-care workers not prioritized in first phase of B.C.’s COVID-19 vaccine rollout

One person belongs to an organization connected to Coastal Health, and she goes to visit nine clients during seven hours. The following day, she visits a different group of nine people, so the caregivers are rotating. Simply put, she sees 45 people a week. If she ever gets COVID-19, it will be spread to many very quickly. Another caregiver already got infected by COVID-19. She said she might have gotten it during transportation. Some travel by car, others by bus or SkyTrain.
