Kakanucks Posted March 6, 2020 Share Posted March 6, 2020 (edited) 8 more cases of COVID-19 virus identified in B.C., including 1 of unknown origin Wish they would stop using "Vancouver Coastal Health region" or "Fraser Health region" and just directly specify the area.

No one is asking for the addresses, but since this is the 1st identified case with unknown origin, means a possibility of community transmission happening. By specifying on the area, it may prompt people in the area with similar symptoms to go get tested instead of brushing it off as normal flu. "There's likely at least one other person out there who has this disease or had this disease, and we need to find them," she told reporters at a press conference Thursday. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thing is that area ranges from anywhere from Burnaby/Richmond/Delta all the way east to Hope. That is a pretty large community and there for the information is vague. People want to be aware of where to stay away from. Again we are so focused on not hurting feelings rather than stop the spread. By knowing where the infected are in which municipalities (EG: Mission, Surrey and Richmond) would be more helpful than not. If government and health officials say they will do whatever it takes to protect Canadians (Justin Trudeau’s very words) then why not say where exactly to inform/protect us?

It's good to take precautions regardless, but they can vary on the severity. I have 3 young kids...if it got to the point of severe i our neighbourhood, then they're staying home. Right now it's not severe, so we're still going out. It's just a matter of staying away from people, not touching everything & washing hands. There's a difference and that's just one example.

Luckily this particular disease seems to be milder in kids. The BC gov't is as on top of it as any organization can be, so fortunately they are getting good info out through the news but really at this point its in the community, knowing where one case was doesn't protect you from the ones you don't know about, and they are likely out there now. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alf wanted to no where outbreaks were happening. so we can "protect ourselves".... ....we already know how to protect ourselves. Why do we need to know where?

The only masks that offer some protection are those labelled N95. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
