It could have gotten from BC to Nunavut for sure Kiki.
At least it is only 1 case.

A health officer with a fan club? Meet Canada’s Dr. Bonnie.
Yes, she does. Poor woman gets so embarrassed when she's praised for her good job of handling this crisis. She's had her hair mentioned and she addressed that at a briefing because it looked different. There has been a song written for her.

Coronavirus dashboard for April 30: the US has the worst record in the world, by far
The US leads the world by far in new infections (including per capita) and deaths; and is second among significant sized countries only to Spain among total cases per capita; while several other countries, including developing country Vietnam, have brought their caseloads to zero. This is abject failure on a horrid scale.
The total US population remains under total lockdown has declined substantially due mainly to the renegade States in the Confederacy.
Number of new and total reported Infections:
Number: South Korea: ZERO (4 detected from incoming flights at airport)
Number: Taiwan: ZERO
Number: Vietnam: ZERO

It is funny how Korea, Taiwan, and Vietnam don't have the turmoil fighting Covid-19 like America has. Something very inexplicable about that, but forget about it and Vote For Trump, our self-proclaimed Very Stable Genius.

Quote:6ix, you are the guy who demands human sacrifices for Trump's reelection. The inner logic of your thread "In Memoriam of the 156,154 people who died" is that no matter how many small people die it is of no importance so long as Big Man Trump survives. You have got a Mein Führer Complex.

Congressional Democrats are governing from the minority. Congressional Republicans don’t want the federal government to work and Democrats do.
Typically, in a crisis, the administration would be pushing to do more, do it faster, and the minority party would be deciding whether to block those efforts or attach their own ideological priorities onto them. That’s because the administration knows it will be blamed for failure. But the Trump administration has refused responsibility for the Covid-19 crisis, and it has repeatedly wanted both less funding and less authority than congressional Democrats want to give it.
“It’s the executive branch who normally takes control in a situation like this, and they haven’t,” says Sen. Brian Schatz (D-HI). “As a result, Democrats have stepped into the breach to minimize suffering. There are a lot of keyboard pundits who view this as a forfeiture of leverage, and I understand what they’re saying. But we have to be very clear: They’re talking about using suffering as leverage. That is what the Republicans do, not what we do.”
The result is that instead of acting like a minority party, Democrats are using much of their leverage to force Republicans to act like a majority party. Democrats are fighting for the policies that, if they work, Republicans will later take credit for. The testing program is a good example. Democrats forced the Trump administration to accept responsibility for a national testing strategy over the White House’s objections. But if the money and the strategy work, it’ll be Trump who runs on that success in November.

It is possible this case in Nunavut came from Northern Alberta. There's been an outbreak at an oil camp, and this person could have worked there but not having shown any symptoms was allowed to fly home. Then came up positive.

Oh interesting!
I hope they do well with contact tracing and quarantine for everyone downstream, that this doesn't get a toehold in any community, and that everyone does well.

That is just my theory since travel between provinces and territories is down to almost nil. It's the only thing I can think of.
The other oil camp workers who did test positive are in lockdown at the camp.
Communities that far north in Canada are small, so hopefully they will be alright and everyone this person travelled with should be notified and be in self-isolation for 14days.
