This letter was sent to Health Minister Adrian Dix and provincial health officer Dr. Bonnie Henry.

Cases are escalating quickly while at the same time many citizens of B.C. are behaving in ways contrary to the heath guidelines.

In my view, we need to tighten the restrictions to a full lockdown, perhaps similar to what was done in Melbourne, Australia. This might necessitate heftier fines and/or curfews.

After all, Mr. Dix, your government was re-elected on a mandate to solve this issue in a way that restores our economy to get back to a near normal in a reasonable period of time.

What actions will you and your government take in order to address this issue?
