.@adriandix says the number of people - younger people getting sick is about the same but the number who need critical care has gone/is going up. Avg age is in the 60s but more young ppl are getting serious ill but still oldest most vulnerable

The primary covid hospitals feel pressure consistently, esp Surrey Memorial. Interior - the PG hospital takes the ICU pressure - @adriandix. Overall he says people now are more likely to get v sick with covid than before xmas.

Re Kits restaurant not shutting down despite order and ppl shouting the inpector out of the business - where's the enforcement?
@adriandix says they are enforcing that closure order (the biz says they'll be open again on Tuesday night)

Everyone knows the rules @adriandix says: no indoor dining. The responsibility isn't the inspectors here inferring it's the restaurant.
[Me: yes, the restaurant knows the rules and explicitly went against them which is where enforcement comes in.]

restaurant cont - So where were the police?
@adriandix: the behaviour is the problem here & what's in question here. "We are enforcing that today where it's requried." Nozpecifics on what that involves
[many wondering why not enforced last night]
