BC is having an explosion of variant infections right now. Apparently the biggest outbreak of the Brazil variant anywhere in the world (outside Brazil itself). This one also hits younger people harder, and has caused Whistler to close its hills for the season.
I know about 4 people who got Covid in Whistler (not sure what variant) and they've all had some solid symptoms despite all being under 40.
News here reported Canucks' Gaudette is really suffering from it, so probably that or another variant got him. Canucks may be out of commission for a while as BC's government is done messing about with these new strains.
