Today’s numbers should look a little familiar to some people. The report for today says there were 58 new COVID-19 infections in the province. Which is the same number as last Tuesday’s report. Hopefully the next 6 days will go a little better for us than last week did. In yesterday’s conference Dr. Bonnie HenryContinue reading “COVID-19 Diary – Day 173”

COVID-19 Diary – Day 172
It’s Monday, which means it’s time for another weekly chart of COVID-19 new infections. Earlier this week our numbers were looking comparatively much better than the previous week. I had been crunching the numbers in my head, and was really hoping to be able to say that our new infection numbers would be in declineContinue reading “COVID-19 Diary – Day 172”
COVID-19 Diary – Day 171
Despite the lack of report from public health, there’s still lots to talk about today, so let’s dig in! Researchers from the University of Alberta are currently studying whether a drug used to treat a deadly corona virus in cats, may help prevent COVID-19 infection in humans as well. Since it’s already being used withContinue reading “COVID-19 Diary – Day 171”
COVID-19 Diary – Day 68
Today’s topic is about INFECTION. (Please note that this is primarily an opinion piece where I write about things I’ve learned and things I suspect) This is a tricky topic because we only know so much about how COVID-19 is transmitted, in terms of specifics. But we do have a pretty good general idea, andContinue reading “COVID-19 Diary – Day 68”
COVID-19 Diary – Day 67
Today’s post is going to talk about immunity! One of the big questions that has remained unanswered since the pandemic hit us, is “Does contracting COVID-19 mean I can’t get it a second time?”. Of course it is important to stress that we still do not know with 100% certainty, it can now be saidContinue reading “COVID-19 Diary – Day 67”

We received some good news today. For starters, Expo and Millennium Line Skytrain lines are currently running at 90% normal capacity, and are expected to be back up to 100% by next week. The Canada Line is expected to hit 90% capacity next week, and has been seeing almost no demand for travel to theContinue reading “COVID-19 Diary – Day 66”
COVID-19 Diary – Day 65
It’s Monday so it’s chart day As you can see from the above graph, our weekly number totals continue to a declining trend. This is great news, and is very encouraging about our overall success in fighting this virus. There was also some very important news that came out today that I almost missed. InContinue reading “COVID-19 Diary – Day 65”
COVID-19 Diary – Day 64
Today I went shopping for more supplies at Metropolis. Many stores in the mall remain closed, but some have re-opened with strict rules on how many can be in the store at once. Distanced lineups outside doors can be seen here and there. There are also a lot of stickers and guides encouraging distancing, andContinue reading “COVID-19 Diary – Day 64”
COVID-19 Diary – Day 63
I don’t talk about the COVID-19 numbers very often these days. Mostly this is because they’re moving at a consistent rate, and focusing on them obsessively can be unhealthy. But every once and a while I like to update on how they’re doing, and today will be one of those days. Here in BC weContinue reading “COVID-19 Diary – Day 63”
COVID-19 Diary – Day 62
Today has been a busy news day! Early today it was announced by Premier Horgan that schools would be reopening on a part time optional basis, as of June 1st. There will be protective measures in place, such as distance between desks, halved maximum capacity school buses, and no sharing of school supplies, phones, orContinue reading “COVID-19 Diary – Day 62”
