Thank you for this interview. I appreciate Dr. Lewis's very informed opinions and humility.
I am not sure about BC's testing capacity point though. It seems like we may have exceeded South Korea's per capita testing rate in BC now. It may have came late, but we are doing well now. According to Ian Young, a Vancouver journalist, we are now at double the South Koreas daily test rate:
> That equates to 690 tests per million people, daily. By comparison, South Korea’s peak daily testing rate amounted to about 392 tests per million. BC has a population of 5.1 million, while South Korea has 51 million people.
