Part of the data released included some demographics of who is getting the virus in the province. The data shows that the median age of those being tested positive for COVID-19 is 54. However, the median age of those who have died is 86. "We've had one death in a person in their 40s, two people in their 60s, but the majority of them have been people who are in their 70s, 80s and 90s, including somebody who was over 100," Henry said Friday. "This again reflects that young, healthy people have relatively mild illness," How does B.C. compare to other provinces? While the rate of the virus might be slowing in B.C., that's not necessarily the case in all provinces. "We have flattened and levelled over the last few weeks," Henry said. In other provinces like Quebec and Ontario, however, the curves of new cases and deaths climbed more steeply than in B.C. To date, Ontario has recorded 478 deaths connected to the virus, while Quebec has had 688. Meanwhile B.C. has had recorded 78 COVID-19 deaths. On the other hand, provinces like Prince Edward Island, New Brunswick and Manitoba have all had relatively flat curves. But Henry said the curves appear to be levelling off in other provinces and said she hopes that trend continues. Until we ease restrictions and the virus has access to many more hosts, then back up it goes Edited April 17, 2020 by stawns 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

So if we can apply that to other situations like BC Parks and retail stores you'd think that would be the way to begin. The question is tho, will the dummies out there still comply? or will we see a lot of conflict? Except the low numbers are more from mass isolation than "social distancing". Does anyone really believe that when we ease restrictions the virus isn't going to come roaring back? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

They should identify these yahoos and deny them any medical aid if they contract Coronavirus. I get people are getting cabin fever and unemployment is sky high. The trade off for a back to work mentality/directive will mean a lot of preventable deaths (especially the elderly). But what do you expect from country that values guns over lives. /end rant. 1 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
