I just learned that Bonnie Henry whom I've been following everyday is the person who was responsible and was in charge for overseeing the SARS and H1N1 outbreak in Toronto. I was living in Toronto at that time and from what I can remember there were minimal disruptions.
What a marvelous job she did in Toronto and now we're seeing it in BC. We are seeing the curve flatten here in western Canada, with another anemic 25 cases today, the lowest number of cases in weeks. This incredible woman needs recognition for what a great job she's doing. We need to send her to Quebec to help get things under control there. Hats off to this incredible lady
What are your leaders saying that Ford isn't? Or is it simply the people that live in BC taking this more seriously than here? Or is it the asian population? People already wearing masks to begin with and not worrying about some sort of "stigma" that some idiots here still are. And before some SJW comes at me, just look at the demographics of the two provinces. Thanks.
I don't live there, but I am quite impressed with BC, and Vancouver is literally a sardine can in terms of land mass compared to the GTA.
BC was supposed to have their March Break right after ours ended. They didn't end up having one and were extremely fortunate to tell its residents not to travel with the current (at the time) **** going on. By the time Ontario went a complete 180 on 'go out and travel for March break', it was too late.
The other one is the health care workers - mainly in long term community homes in BC are only permitted to work at one location after the outbreak in Lynn Valley. In Ontario for whatever reason, health care workers are still working in multiple sites and now have 58 outbreaks in these facilities across Ontario. Doesn't help either that one particular facility held a pub night in a middle of a **** pandemic.
