The BC government had taken this stance since the beginning (and thankfully so). I think that it's very unlikely they will change that direction even if we trend upwards. She might not say it, but I'd say we're exactly where BH thought we would be after "reopening".

We flattened the curve, reduced the load on hospitals, allowed for time to stock up on the needed equipment and supplies, and ideally shortened the time from full outbreak to a workable treatment/vaccine.

We're going to see a lot of people with the virus - that is inevitable.

Dare I ask - what more do you want from your government at this point?
I would recommend copying what Hong Kong is doing

Do this for 2 weeks:

-Compulsory masks in ALL indoor public spaces
-Closure of indoor businesses that have close contact with people. Gyms, hair dressers, tattooers, etc. HK has some niche categories like karaoke, mahjong, but anything that is similar should be closed for two weeks to prevent another outbreak.
-Restaurants take-out only (HK is after 6pm only, but IMO this should apply all day)
