is social distancing working in bc?

well, i don't see anything flattening.

but, all the reports i've seen out of bc are about how everybody's ignoring it.

this seems to be some kind of "alternative fact", perhaps intended to increase confidence in the system. but, this isn't a market; the virus won't react to confidence.

the most pessimistic analysis is that they're trying to distract because they know this is going to get bad.

but, i actually think the issue in bc seems to mostly be about retirement homes. as elsewhere, lax restrictions on entering these facilities is likely to have created some serious issues, and the government should be held responsible for this. but, that doesn't translate into an issue with the general population.

but, is this working? is it proof that the sacrifices people are making are demonstrating results?

i'd challenge the premise....
