PETERS – Trajectory troubling but no reason to change COVID-19 approach
DR. BONNIE HENRY was asked a ridiculous question at Thursday’s media briefing.
The question was, “Because the approach B.C. has taken since March doesn’t seem to be working, what action should people be taking when they witness others breaking the rules?”
The ridiculous part is the premise. The approach B.C. has taken since March has absolutely worked, and there’s no evidence — actual evidence, not hysterical conjecture — that it won’t continue to work.
One simply needs to compare B.C.’s data with data from any other North American jurisdiction to realize we are doing very, very well.

Get tougher on that age range causing the upsurge in infections. I doubt that influencers is going to do the trick with them.
