From what they know about it, it spreads mostly in the 20-39 age group. It's 2 1/2 times more contagious. More of those that get it, get sicker, with tragic results. And they are younger. Women are getting it at a higher rate than the old variant. I don't think the BC shutdown is going to be strict enough.

Obviously, someone fugged up, and was exposed to the Virus, came back and gave it to the entire team...essentially ruining the rest of the season for everyone, especially their fans.

It still isn't enough reason to shut down the entire Province. You can put 5-6 states into the size of BC.
