We had the first outbreak in Canada of Covid-19. Under the outstanding guidance of our Chief Medical Officer, Dr. Bonnie Henry, we have had a total of 2709 cases (AZ - 34458), have had 168 confirmed deaths (AZ - 1183) and currently have 3 in ICU (AZ - 1317). Did we have to go through pain to achieve these numbers? Definitely. Our economy took a big hit. But the collective response to controlling the virus outweighed the individual right to do whatever the hell you felt like. Unlike Arizona (and Ontario and Quebec here in Canada), we took the virus seriously and reacted seriously.
