Vaughn Palmer: B.C. reveals where virus came from, how it spread, where it remains

VICTORIA — For the first time since the COVID-19 pandemic began in B.C., provincial health officer Dr. Bonnie Henry provided significant and surprising details Thursday on where the virus originated, how it spread and where it remains.

Indeed, as Dr. Henry noted Thursday, her team made that link regarding a COVID-19 case here in B.C. before the Iranian government admitted to the world it had an outbreak. “I cannot say it was the only thing that caused our pandemic, by any means,” Dr. Henry told reporters. “It was certainly a sentinel event, in the timing of it, along with everything else.”The Chinese and Iranian strains were capped off early, contributing few additional cases beyond February and March.

As of May 29, they accounted for the vast majority of the cases in the analysis. Those strains were harder to contain, being broadly based and in many more communities around the province. Dr. Henry said the data cannot be extrapolated to determine precisely how many of B.C.’s cases can be attributed to each of the strains.

Due to China \\ British Columbian government interests . Team Trump piggy bank should be covering this issue .
