Lebrun saying its the Brazil virus mutation, which I don't think the current vaccines are designed for, not that a vaccine will help you once you have it, but bigger picture, for the BC population, the covid scourge (and its numerous mutations) may be here for a while.
Interestingly, there is a significant Brazilian population here in Van, and growing, a lot of younger Brazilians, CBC article below..
https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/british-columbia/metro-vancou ver-immigration-data-1.5421457
Because of Vancouver being a large Brazilian population center, there is likely still air travel happening to and from Brazil.. not sure why international travel is still permitted if virus mutations are happening all over the world that we have no current tests or vaccines to defend us against.
Do the existing covid tests we have accurately indicate positives for the mutations ? Doubtful, one would think test accuracy over a range of new mutations is a big question, and unlikely.. Which makes you wonder why after forcing everyone to go through over a year of covid protocol efforts, that Governments are still taking the risk of allowing international travel when they don't have accurate tests for the various mutations.
Maybe we should get back to a total ban on international air travel until they figure out if they can reliably detect the mutations.. Although, if test accuracy is mutation sensitive, its use as a defense will be highly limited, as you will always be months behind in test development and deployment.. an interesting dilemma.
Maybe the Canucks were hit by this virus so badly because their daily testing regime was based on tests that were not accurate enough for detecting a virus mutation?
Stay tuned.
UPDATE... Sounds like a few of the Canucks are really sick with this mutation, Doctors having to visit players at home to administer IV's.. sounds serious .. They also have 10 players on covid on their AHL team in Utica..

This Brazil mutation is more deadly... currently in BC .. seriously affecting young people.. mutations of any bacteria or virus are always more deadly and resistant to previous treatment, if they don't find a way to inhibit the mutations we could be heading towards a covid "super-bug".
