The Federal Gov. have decided not to allow US teams to enter Canada to play the Blue Jays in Toronto. Previously it was hoped that they would be allowed to play the BJ’s at the Roger’s Centre after 14 days quarantine.

Re: Coronavirus
Data from British Columbia, Ontario, Alberta, Saskatchewan, Quebec, Manitoba, Nova Scotia, New Brunswick and Prince Edward Island show an increase in COVID-19 infections in the 20-29 age groups; Numbers from the Public Health Agency of Canada show that during the second week of July, the largest proportion of new cases reported — 22 per cent of female cases and 28 per cent of male cases — was among the 20-29 age group.

Re: Coronavirus
We were doing so well for the longest time and now new cases are getting much higher.
B.C. warned of potential for 'explosive growth' as 102 new COVID-19 cases announced over weekend

The trend seems to be you can have an open economy and just deal with high case loads, or you shut as much as you can down and have lower counts, but seems hard to have both.
I suspect some restrictions will be coming our way again by end of summer.
"60 cases that have now been linked to multiple exposure events in Kelowna at downtown and waterfront bars and private gatherings in the time around the Canada Day long weekend. Most new cases confirmed this weekend were people in their 20s and 30s, according to Henry."
"We are starting to see people who are testing positive in the last few days having a large number of contacts again," she said.
"We are no longer having safe interactions."
in the spring, most new COVID-19 patients only had close contact with three or four people, but public health officials are now having to trace 20 or 30 contacts for every person with a confirmed case of the disease.

They did provide some updated death stats.
"New statistics presented Monday show that 20 per cent of COVID-19 patients in long-term care and 22 per cent in acute care units of hospitals have died of their illness. The death rate drops dramatically to 0.5 per cent in the remaining COVID-19 patients."

Re: Coronavirus
There probably weren't any in BC last February, or very very few, but you now think that "only" 21 in a single day isn't nothing to be concerned about. ....
You are not "in a very good place". Now is the time to take easy-to-do stuff, like mask wearing, and social distancing very seriously, so BC doesn't become the next Arizona. ..... "Arizona?" I hear you ask? "Isn't Florida the problem?" .... No, the per capita records are being set by Arizona.

I can't help the way I feel about risk. I'm one of those people who has never had a flu jab. I'm not concerned, life must go on. I social distance every time I leave the house and I will wear a mask when I'm told to or if I'm going to be indoors with lots of other people.
