Transmission
This article (referring to this preprint) says that 70-80% of Lower Mainland kids, 60-70% of adults 20-59, and 40% of the over-60s have had COVID-19 infections. The report also mentioned that the province under-reported case counts by 92x (which is very very close to what the BC COVID-19 Modelling group estimated in its last report).
This article says that Dr. Henry says not to blame schools, as there are similar rates in jurisdictions (I’m looking at you, United States!) which closed schools for longer.
Vaccines
According to the BC CDC dashboard, 109,200 bivalent Moderna vaccines have landed in the province and 2754 have already landed in arms.
Mitigation Measures
