This is not a new issue for BC. In the early days of the pandemic, it felt like a little benefit of the doubt was appropriate as the province tried to find its feet in response to the pandemic.
But it's starting to feel like at least one of two things are happening: a) Information relevant to public safety and understanding of the pandemic's impact is being withheld (sometimes for "privacy" reasons, sometimes with 0 justification); and/or

b) The situation behind the scenes is so hectic and strained that even basic info can't be communicated

1. Not specifically defining what local travel means is a mistake. We've been operating on a "use your common sense" basis for months now and...well, here we are. Other jurisdictions attempting to curve case spikes have been specific - down to the kilometres you're allowed to travel away from your home, how many hours a day you can be out and for what reasons, specifically.
