| Topic | Hows your city doing so far during dis corona virus pandemic? |
| Airhammy 04/26/20 6:14:31 PM #6: | BC, Canada As of the current update we have 1948 confirmed cases province wide, which is about 3.8% of our overall population. These numbers never go down though so the total represents the number confirmed since they began testing. I'm in a small rural neighborhood with potentially zero cases. We had one confirmed a month ago, and I'm sure that person has recovered by now. We also had a couple of people who returned from travel and refused to self quarantine, but that got sorted out fast. We take precautions here like any other. Stores have reduced hours. Some have limits on how many can come in at a time. Our pharmacy only allows one customer and a staff member goes to get your stuff while you stay at the front counter. Sadly we do get tourists throughout the year and despite warnings people are still visiting. Some locals have protested and put up signs asking visitors to go home. We'll likely be putting up with this until the end of the Summer. As for the city I see occasional pictures and the once busy roads are usually empty. The only recent hiccup was a breakout at a chicken processing plant in East Vancouver which is now shut down. --- ... Copied to Clipboard! |
