It only take one superspreader to create a hot spot, and anyone who takes comfort from a "low" infection rate is failing to recognize how close how quickly a hotpsot could flare up again. |

How many were there last February? :sneaky:
We are currently in phase 3 , it's the middle of Summer, people are out and about, and we have a population of 5m people. So long as we continue to have less than 30 new cases per day, I'd say we are 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. |

"We are concerned about the increase in new cases in recent days, as COVID-19 continues to silently circulate in our communities," they said in their statement. "While early on, many of our long-term care and assisted living facilities were impacted, most of the new cases are in the broader community." That is from their statement yesterday. |
Re: Coronavirus
Not that anyone is going to read through the entire 26 pages regarding 'before and after first wave measures in BC', but it does recognize that BC is amongst the lowest case and death rates in Canada.
Look at the conclusion on page 2 |

Isolation from most of Canada and limited travel does wonders.
At this point I think bars should be closed completely, and restaurants, coffee shops etc drive through or take out only. Seems silly to have people sitting and congregating inside restaurants and as many US states now show, reopening can cause issues very quickly. I just hope we can maintain what we have in BC, but it seems to be spreading through the community again. |

Maybe we should be listing these numbers in headline news every day to jump start some kind of healthy living for the masses and at the same time save the burden on the worlds health system |
Re: Coronavirus
And apparently more of us old people are dying of covid-19 now because we survived the other things that were trying to kill us (and were saved by wonderful medicine but often left weakened), and so our very existence is skewing the statistics.
"Because people are living longer with chronic disease like heart conditions and stroke, we need to take actions, and we need them to take care of their health in order to avoid the poor outcome from COVID-19." https://www.cbc.ca/news/health/covid...roke-1.5652003 |
