The pandemic started in 2019 with reports coming out of China about an outbreak in a large manufacturing city. The city had wet wildlife markets as well as a pollution base that made it popular to wear face masks. There is no substance to rumors of the virus being made in a lab.
The virus acts like a cold however the infection goes for the lower respiratory system and can result in long painful treatment including ventilators and induced comas.
The death rate varies from place to place but it has a pension to overwhelm hospital and civic resources.
There is a wide expectation of vaccines to deal with this this new virus by 2021. Safety, effectiveness, distribution, and antibody resilience are issues.
Prevention can be as simple as that for common cold and many people do not have severe cases.
Good luck and carry on…

The public utility may be ablr to help with hydro bills according to their newesletter of July 31 2020.
COVID-19 resulted in financial hardship for many of our customers, particularly those that experienced job loss, had to close their businesses, or were otherwise unable to work. To support our customers, we provided the COVID-19 Relief Fund.
The fund was available from April 1 to June 30, 2020 and it provided eligible residential and small business customers with three months of financial relief on their BC Hydro bill. The program is now closed.
For customers who weren’t eligible for the COVID-19 Relief Fund, we offered the COVID-19 Customer Assistance Program, which allowed you to defer bill payments or arrange for flexible payment plans with no penalty. This program is closed as of June 30, 2020.
Although these programs have closed, we’re still here to help. If you had overdue payments and were facing disconnection prior to any additional financial hardship that arose from COVID-19, you may be eligible for a Customer Crisis Fund grant of up to $600.
There is apparently a catch up payment plan and a phone number lniked to the picture above.
