It means nothing. The virus has shown it is totally non-discriminatory (except mercifully ignoring little kids). It sells papers (lol) and generates clicks. Skim the daily briefings, and try to find an outlet like this thread to have an open discussion.

BC is in it together. The only numbers that matter are provincial numbers - until you realize that they don't matter either. Neither do Canadian numbers. All we can do now is stay the course - and fortunately that is what BC seems to do better than anywhere else.
But at the same time i think we could agree that it's certainly a good idea to look at regions/countries/ethnicities with lower rates and speculate why that may be the case so we might learn from it.
