Even though we think YYC doesn’t have much for cases it is likely far worse than we think already.

Please read this article:

One thing that's essential to understand:

Quote:
the number of true cases [...] is likely to be between one and two orders or magnitude higher than it is officially reported.
When there was 444 official cases in Wuhan, we now know there was actually about 12,000 (27x higher). So waiting until we have a large number of official cases is too late. Especially since, as I posted earlier, cancelling things early vs. late is the difference between 50 in 100,000 vs. 250 in 100,000 people dying (St. Louis vs. Philadelphia during the 1918 spanish flu).
