Over 1,000 British Columbians are self-isolating: one weekend of unsafe partying in one community exposed them to COVID-19. That’s people who can’t go to work, see their friends or enjoy the summer because they have to stay home to keep us safe. We can do better. #COVIDBC

People are asking when we’ll be back to normal

Normal was:

- Workers without paid sick leave

- Families struggling to get by

- People essential to our health & safety unable to make ends meet

- A health care system starved of funding

We need to do better than normal
