       BC's statement on BA.2.86 is so disappointing, but not at all unexpected.Let me translate:"...in an individual... who has not travelled outside the province"- BC has no plans to investigate how this deadly virus got here.“So far, there does not seem to be increased severity with this strain of COVID and the individual is not hospitalized"- We are defining "severity" to mean "severity if infected" not "health impact on the population". Based on this definition, we can't prove it's much worse than other variants, so we're going to imply that it's safe.“We urge all people in B.C. to continue to follow public-health advice and to stay home when sick, wear masks when appropriate, follow respiratory etiquette, wash hands frequently, and, most importantly, stay up to date on your vaccinations.”- Lol, we are not going to bring back mask mandates and it's basically impossible to get access to vaccines in BC.
