If you look at the numbers from Interior Health (Okanagan, Cariboo and Kootenays) COVID is a non-issue.
It would be nice if the PHO released detailed location data but it's a secret.
How do you figure? If you are based in location 'x' and travel to location 'y' - how are you remaining isolated? Traveling for skiing isn't exactly an 'essential' activity in the world right now. But hey, it's only potentially risking peoples' lives for some turns.
People can claim the 'But I'm a responsible citizen - I know what I'm doing' complaint as long as they want but this is as valid as the argument by 'responsible' gun owners. The reality is there are for more idiots out there than not and the government has to plan for the lowest common denominator. Remember, there are people who now thing the world is flat - keep this in mind whenever thinking about who the government is trying to plan for.
