They didn't have it first.  Canada and the US had cases before Italy, UK, Spain, Sweden, Russia etc.  It's obvious population density is a factor.  Most major countries in Europe have around twice the population as Canada and are far, far smaller in size.  Italy, France, UK have 60+ million people each.   Italy and the UK could fit inside Manitoba with room to spare in terms of total land area.

We didn't do d!ck all. We didn't restrict travel until just recently, we didn't screen at airports.  Sophie Trudeau was photographed with Idris Alba on March 4th in the UK.  We're damn lucky.

I think our current numbers are pretty understated.  In BC we are only testing a) healthcare workers b) people who are associated with outbreaks or c) traveled and show symptoms. 

The only way you can get tested if you don't fit any of those criteria is if you're almost at the hospitalization stage. 

For all we know there is a tsunami headed our way.
