Jaimito Posted December 27, 2020 Share Posted December 27, 2020 Not surprised at all. Doesn't change public health measures. Keep doing the right things to avoid spread. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

guntrix Posted December 27, 2020 Share Posted December 27, 2020 There was no way to stop the new variant from getting into Canada (or anywhere for that matter). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of course there is/was....you ban travel. Too late though. Not sure why the world hasn't done that....no one needs to travel right now. There's this thing called the internet that connects us for business and other reasons. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The virus has been proven to survive on surfaces for limited periods of time. And what about those who operate it? Not everything in our supermarkets and stores comes from inside BC. It's impossible in this day and age to make the world stand completely still. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The prominent spread/transmission is from face to face contact not surfaces. Not stand still completely....just not travel from place to place. It's not impossible but likely is necessary. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spur1 Posted December 28, 2020 Share Posted December 28, 2020 Still lots traveling. Alberta plates outnumber BC plates in town today. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
guntrix Posted December 28, 2020 Share Posted December 28, 2020 Unless British Columbians are willing to subsist only on BC products, which I highly doubt, you’d still have to factor in people who drive the trucks, navigate ships, operate customs, work in logistics, etc. I wish it were as easy as limiting travel. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I say Albertans are still traveling here in large numbers I am not talking transport trucks. It is leisure travel. Also many businesses are encouraging it unfortunately as they only care about their bottom line. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm worried the prospect of vaccination is going to make us lazy in the next two months and that could be bad. Even with vaccines, I don't see the US getting this under control for a long time. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pretty sure they will hit over 400,000 deaths before all is said and done. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's not the travel I'm talking about. I'm talking about people going to visit other people. Which is not necessary. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
