[ DOWN.
AND I'M NOT GOING TO HIDE.
I'M NOT GOING TO STAY IN NEU 
HOME.
I'M NOT GOING TO GO BACK TO 
WHATEVER COUNTRY YOU THINK I 
SHOULD GO TO BECAUSE THIS IS MY 
COUNTRY.
I DESERVE TO BE HERE. 
>> Reporter:  SO SHE TURNED 
AROUND AND YELLED BACK BUT IT 
TURNED FRIGHTENING WHEN THE TWO 
WOMEN STARTED TO WALK AWAY. 
>> I TURNED AROUND AND SAID, I'M
LIKE, YEAH?
I'M LIKE, HIT ME, THEN, HIT ME, 
AND THEN SO -- HE REVVED THE CAR
AND LUNGED FORWARD A LITTLE BIT.
SO THEN MY MOM STARTS SCREAMING,
HELP, HELP, AND FACING THAT WAY.
>> Reporter:  NO ONE CAME TO 
HELP AND THE CAR TOOK OFF.
THEY CALLED 911 AND GAVE POLICE 
THE LICENCE PLATE NUMBER.
BUT KAN SAYS THE OFFICERS TOLD 
HER THERE WAS A PROBLEM.
THE CAR WASN'T FROM RICHMOND.
>> THEY SAID, WELL, IF THEY ARE 
NOT FROM RICHMOND THEN IT'S NOT 
OUR JURISDICTION.
SO IT WOULD BE UP TO THE POLICE 
FROM WHERE THEY ARE FROM TO 
CONTACT THEM. 
>> Reporter:  KAN SAYS THAT 
DIDN'T MAKE SENSE TO HER.
SHE SAYS THE OFFICER THEN TOLD 
HER IT WAS A HE SAID/SHE SAID 
SITUATION, EVEN THOUGH SHE 
POINTED OUT SECURITY CAMERAS 
NEARBY. 
>> IT JUST FELT LIKE I WASN'T 
REALLY BEING HELPED.
FELT KIND OF HOPELESS. 
>> Reporter:  SHE POSTED HER 
STORY ON SOCIAL MEDIA WHICH WENT
VIRAL.
RICHMOND RCMP RELEASED A 
STATEMENT SHORTLY AFTER SAYING, 
IF AN INCIDENT OCCURS WITHIN THE
CITY, IT IS WITHIN THEIR 
JURISDICTION.
THAT SURVEILLANCE VIDEO HAS 
SINCE BEEN RETRIEVED.
CLARA TELLS ME THAT THE OFFICER 
THAT RESPONDED HER CALL ON 
FRIDAY REACHED OUT ON SATURDAY 
AND SAYS THAT IN THE VIDEO, IT 
SHOWS THE FOUR OF THEM APPEARING
TO BE TALKING, BUT THE TWO MEN 
INVOLVED IN THE INCIDENT HAVE 
BEEN FOUND AND SPOKEN TO.
NO ONE FROM RICHMOND RCMP WAS 
AVAILABLE TO SPEAK TO US ON 
CAMERA TODAY, BUT THEY DID 
RELEASE THIS STATEMENT.
IN PART SAYING "THAT ALLEGATIONS
OF HATE-RELATED CRIMES ARE TAKEN
SERIOUSLY.
RACISM WON'T BE TOLERATED AND 
WILL BE INVESTIGATED TO THE 
FULLEST EXTENT." 
A CHINESE OFFICER VISITED THE 
KAN FAMILY LAST NIGHT TO TAKE 
CLARA MOM'S STATEMENT.
THREE DAYS AFTER THE INCIDENT.
BUT THE FAMILY IS PLEASED THAT 
POLICE NOW SEEM TO BE TAKING IT 
SERIOUSLY.
TO THE MEN WHO SPEWED THOSE 
HURTFUL WORDS ...
>> I DON'T HATE YOU.
LIKE, I FORGIVE YOU. 
>> Reporter:  SHE HOPES EVERYONE
HAS WALKED AWAY WITH A LESSON.
LIEN YEUNG, CBC NEWS, RICHMOND.
>> Anita:  A FINAL WORD ON THE 
LANGUAGE IN THAT STORY.
AGAIN, IT IS LANGUAGE WE DON'T 
TRADITIONALLY AIR ON CBC NEWS. 
>> Mike:  WE DID TONIGHT, 
THOUGH, BECAUSE WE BELIEVE THE 
WORDS GIVES THE FULL WEIGHT AND 
CONTEXT TO WHAT THE WOMAN IN OUR
STORY AND OTHERS EXPERIENCE.
AND TRANSIT POLICE TONIGHT ARE 
ASKING FOR YOUR HELP IN FINDING 
THE PERSON RESPONSIBLE FOR WHAT 
THEY CALL ANOTHER RACIST ATTACK 
ON PUBLIC TRANSIT. 
>> Anita:  DAN BURRITT IS HERE 
LIVE WITH THE DETAILS.
DAN, THE MAN IS ACCUSED OF 
ASSAULTING SOMEONE WHO STEPPED 
IN TO HELP?
>> Reporter:  CORRECT.
IT WAS APRIL 15TH, JUST BEFORE 
4:30 IN THE AFTERNOON.
TAKE A LOOK AT THIS GUY.
POLICSAY A MAN ON BOARD A BUS 
AT MAIN AND HASTINGS ALLEGEDLY 
TOLD TWO ASIAN WOMEN WEARING 
MASKS TO "GO BACK TO YOUR 
COUNTRY, THAT'S WHERE IT ALL 
STARTED." 
ANOTHER WOMAN TOLD HIM TO BACK 
OFF.
THAT'S WHEN THE SUSPECT 
ALLEGEDLY KICKED THE GOOD 
SAMARITAN AND PULLED HER HAIR SO
HARD, A CLUMP OF IT WAS TORN 
FROM HER SCALP.
SHE WAS ALSO PUNCHED BUT MANAGED
TO FIGHT THE MAN OFF.
THE SUSPECT THEN JUMPED OFF THE 
BUS AND WAS LAST SEEN RUNNING 
AWAY AT COMMERCIAL AND HASTINGS.
THE ATTACK HAPPENED ALMOST A 
MONTH AGO BUT POLICE SAY THEY 
HAVE RUN THROUGH THEIR LEADS AND
NOW NEED YOUR HELP.
THEY ARE NOT CRITICIZING THE 
WOMAN WHO STEPPED IN, THEY HAVE 
SOME ADVICE IF YOU FIND YOURSELF
IN A SIMILAR SITUATION. 
>> WE DON'T RECOMMEND THAT 
MEMBERS OF THE PUBLIC DO -- PUT 
THEIR SAFETY AT JEOPARDY OR THE 
SAFETY OF OTHERS AT JEOPARDY.
IF THEY FEEL THEIR SAFETY IS OF 
A CONCERN, THEN TO PLEASE EITHER
TEXT THE TRANSIT POLICE AT 
877777 OR PLEASE CALL 911.
>> Reporter:  AND YOU CAN READ A
FULL SUSPECT DESCRIPTION ON OUR 
WEBSITE, cbc.ca/bc. 
>> Mike:  AND DAN, THIS IS THE 
MOST RECENT IN A STRING OF 
ANTI-ASIAN ATTACKS?
>> Reporter:  CORRECT.
SEVERAL SERIOUS CASES IN 
VANCOUVER AND ELSEWHERE.
TAKE A LOOK AT THESE.
ON APRIL 25TH, TRANSIT POLICE 
SAID A SUSPECT ALLEGEDLY PUNCHED
A WOMAN SEVERAL TIMES IN HER 
FACE AND SHOVED HER OFF A 
SKYTRAIN AT BURRARD STATION.
BEFORE THE ATTACK, A MAN 
APPROACHED THE WOMAN AND TOLD 
HER, YOU PEOPLE ARE WHY MY 
DAUGHTER IS SICK.
51-YEAR-OLD SANDY SANDERSON IS 
NOW FACING ASSAULT AND MISCHIEF 
CHARGES.
ON APRIL 12TH, VANCOUVER POLICE 
SAY A MAN PUNCHED AN ASIAN WOMAN
AT A BUS STOP NEAR PENDER AND 
GRANVILLE, AS YOU CAN SEE.
THE FORCE SAYS ITS HATE CRIME 
TEAM WAS NOTIFIED IN THAT CASE.
APRIL 2ND, POLICE SAY -- PARDON 
ME, THIS IS THE MARCH 13TH 
INCIDENT, BUT THIS SHOWS A MAN 
SHOVELLING AN ELDERLY ASIAN MEN 
THROUGH THE DOORS OF A 
CONVENIENCE STORE AT NANAIMO AND
EAST 1ST.
VPD SAID AT THE TIME IT'S 
BELIEVED HE WAS SPEWING ANTI- --
RACIST COMMENTS ABOUT COVID-19.
AND LASTLY, ON APRIL 2ND, POLICE
SAY SWON WROTE HATEFUL 
DISTURBING GRAFFITI ON A 
CULTURAL CENTRE IN CHINATOWN.
POLICE ARE STILL LOOKING FOR 
THAT SUSPECT.
AGAIN, VANCOUVER POLICE SAY 
THERE HAS BEEN A RISE IN REPORTS
OF ANTI-ASIAN HATE MOTIVATED 
INCIDENTS AND CRIMES RECENTLY.
20 OF THEM HAVE BEEN REPORTED TO
POLICE SO FAR THIS YEAR.
THERE WERE 12 ALL LAST YEAR.
ANITA, MIKE. 
>> Mike:  THANKS VERY MUCH. 
>> Anita:  THAT'S JUST A SAMPLE 
OF WHAT'S HAPPENING ACROSS 
CANADA.
WE'LL HAVE MORE ON THE MOST 
HIGH-PROFILE INSTANCES, ONE 
INVOLVING BRYAN ADAMS COMING UP 
AROUND 6:30.
WE'LL ALSO TALK TO A HISTORY 
PROFESSOR WHO STUDIES RACISM.
WE'RE GOING TO GET HIS TAKE ON 
WHAT WE HAVE BEEN SEEING.
>> Mike:  A METRO VANCOUVER MAN 
IS GLAD TO BE HOME FROM INDIA 
AFTER BEING STUCK THERE ON A 
COVID-19 LOCKDOWN.
HE IS NOT BREATHING A SIGH OF 
RELIEF QUITE YET.
>> Anita:  THE REPATRIATION 
FLIGHT HE CAME BACK ON WAS 100% 
FULL WITH NO PHYSICAL 
DISTANCING.
AND AS BELLE PURI OF THE CBC 
"IMPACT" TEAM REPORTS, THAT'S 
RAISING FEARS OF CORONAVIRUS 
EXPOSURE.
>> HALF AN HOUR, I DO MY 
EXERCISES EVERY SINGLE MORNING. 
>> Reporter:  ROUTINE IS HOW 
BHAVKHANDAN RAKHRA WILL WEATHER 
QUARANTINE.
HE PERFORMS IN FILM, TELEVISION,
AND THEATRE IN CANADA AND IN 
INDIA.
IN LATE FEBRUARY, HE WAS IN 
PUNJAB FOR A MOVIE SHOOT.
BUT INDIA WENT INTO A COVID-19 
LOCKDOWN.
COMMERCIAL FLIGHTS WERE 
SUSPENDED AND HE WAS STUCK.
IT WAS MAY 7TH BEFORE RACK ARE 
COULD LEAVE INDIA ON A CANADIAN 
REPATRIATION FLIGHT. 
>> JAM-PACKED, THE PLANE.
NOT A SINGLE SEAT EMPTY. 
>> Reporter:  IT'S NOT AT ALL 
WHAT HE EXPECTED AT THE HEIGHT 
OF PHYSICAL DISTANCING CONCERNS 
AND DIRECTIVES. 
>> ABOUT 18, 19 HOURS PEOPLE 
SITTING ON THE SAME CHAIR, SIDE 
BY SIDE.
>> Reporter:  RAKHRA'S JOURNEY 
BEGAN IN INDIA. 
>> PEOPLE WERE NOT FOLLOWING THE
6 FEET OR 2-METRE THING AND NO 
ONE WAS REALLY, REALLY ENFORCING
IT, EVEN THOUGH THERE WAS 
POLICE. 
>> Reporter:  INSIDE THE 
AIRPORT, BEYOND THE REGULAR 
CHECK-IN PROCESS, PASSENGERS HAD
THEIR TEMPERATURE TAKEN, FILLED 
OUT MEDICAL FORMS, AND WAITED 
AGAIN.
THE TEMPERATURE HOVERED ABOUT 
38º AND FOR THE MOST PART, THE 
AIR CONDITIONING WAS OFF.
>> MOSQUITOS AT AIRPORT.
THERE WERE BIRDS.
THEY ARE PIGEONS FLYING HERE AND
THERE. 
>> Reporter:  SIX HOURS AFTER HE
ARRIVED, IT WAS TIME TO BOARD 
THE FLIGHT.
>> THE AIRLINE PEOPLE CAME AND 
THEY WERE REALLY, REALLY STRICT.
THEY WERE TELLING EVERYONE, MAKE
ONE LINE.
STAY 6 FEET AWAY.
AND WE'LL GENTLY LOAD UP 
EVERYBODY, BUT IF YOU STAY 
TOGETHER, IT'LL DELAY THE 
FLIGHT. 
>> Reporter:  THAT EFFORT TO 
DISTANCE, THOUGH, MEANT NOTHING 
ON THE PLANE WHERE PEOPLE 
TRAVELLED SHOULDER TO SHOULDER.
THE FLIGHT COST 3,200.
RAKHRA ASSUMED THE HEFTY PRICE 
WOULD ENSURE HIM A SAFE SEAT 
HOME.
THE CANADIAN GOVERNMENT SAYS 
PASSENGERS ON THE SPECIAL 
FLIGHTS ARE SUBJECTED TO 
TEMPERATURE CHECKS, MUST WEAR A 
MASK, AND QUARANTINE AFTER THE 
TRIP.
IT SAYS IT FEELSZ IT'S AN 
APPROPRIATE BALANCE BETWEEN 
SAFETY MEASURES AND THE URGENCY 
TO GET CANADIANS HOME.
RAKHRA SAYS HE SHED HIS TRAVEL 
CLOTHES IN HIS GARAGE, SHOWERED,
GREETED FAMILY FROM A DISTANCE 
AND BEGAN HIS TWO WEEKS OF 
SELF-ISOLATION.
>> I HAVE MY PRIVATE BATHROOM, 
BEDROOM.
THEY LEAVE THE FOOD OUTSIDE THE 
DOOR.
I PICK IT UP, I USE, AND THEN 
GIVE IT TO THEM.
I'M INSIDE. 
>> Reporter:  FOR NOW HE FEELS 
GOOD AND CAN ONLY HOPE HE'LL 
REMAIN HEALTHY.
BELLE PURI, CBC NEWS, VANCOUVER.
>> Anita:  OKAY.
MANY OF US LOOK AROUND AND 
PERHAPS SEE PLENTY OF 
PHYSICAL-DISTANCING RULE 
BREAKERS.
BUT DO PEOPLE GET IN TROUBLE?
>> Mike:  JESSE JOHNSTON WENT 
ALONG WITH SURREY'S TEAM OF 
BYLAW AND RCMP OFFICERS, THE 
ONES WHO ENFORCE THE RULES 
DURING THIS COVID-19 PANDEMIC.
TO FIND OUT WHAT REALLY HAPPENS 
OUT THERE.
>> Reporter:  FROM A DISTANCE, 
THE GROUP OF SENIORS SITTING IN 
A CIRCLE AT BEAR CREEK PARK LOOK
LIKE ...
[ Laughter ]
>> YES. 
>> Reporter:  RULE BREAKERS.
>> ENJOYING THE DAY IN THE PARK?
>> WE ARE. 
[ Together ]
>> Reporter:  ON CLOSER 
INSPECTION ...
>> GREAT TO SEE THAT YOU GUYS 
ARE ENJOYING THE PARK SPACE AND 
YOU ARE DISTANCING FROM EACH 
OTHER. 
>> Reporter:  IT'S ONLY COUPLES 
THAT ARE SITTING LESS THAN 2 
METRES APART.
SO EVERYONE GETS TO BE SOCIAL AT
A SAFE SOCIAL DISTANCE. 
>> THAT'S ALL YOU CAN DO.
WHAT ELSE CAN WE DO WITHOUT 
GETTING INTO TROUBLE FROM YOU 
GUYS.
[ Laughter ]
>> RIGHT?
YOU'LL BE THERE.
>> Reporter:  THIS IS ONE OF 
MORE THAN 14,000 INTERACTIONS 
THE TEAM HAS HAD SINCE LATE 
MARCH.
SO FAR THERE HAVE BEEN ABOUT 300
INCIDENTS, WHICH WORKS OUT TO A 
COMPLIANCE RATE OF 98%.
>> AS YOU CAN SEE, SO MANY 
PEOPLE ARE COMPLIANT HERE.
JUST SURPRISES ME HOW MANY 
PEOPLE ARE COMPLIANT, WHICH IS 
AWESOME.
WHICH IS EXACTLY WHAT WE NEED 
THE PUBLIC TO DO.
>> Reporter:  THE TEAM'S NEXT 
STEP IS THIS SIKH TEMPLE IN 
SURREY, WHERE THEY PREPARE ABOUT
800 FREE MEALS A DAY, LIKE THEY 
ALWAYS DO.
BUT NO ONE EATS INSIDE ANYMORE 
BECAUSE OF COVID-19.
>> SO MANY PEOPLE ACTUALLY CALL 
US.
THEY HAVE NO TRANSPORTATION.
THEY HAVE NO FOOD.
AND WE DELIVER THE FOOD IN THEIR
HOME. 
>> THANK YOU VERY MUCH. 
>> Reporter:  YOU WON'T FIND ANY
RULE BREAKERS AT THE TEAM'S NEXT
STOP EITHER.
POLICE SAY THIS GROCERY STORE 
GOES ABOVE AND BEYOND REQUIRED 
SAFETY PROTOCOLS.
>> WELL, WE HAVE TO DO EXTRA 
WORKS FOR EVERYTHING, CLEANING 
BUGGIES AND ALL THE HANDLES ON 
THE FREEZERS, COOLERS.
SO IT'S A LITTLE BIT EXTRA WORK 
WE HAVE.
REMOVE ALL THE BULK AREA.
>> Reporter:  THREE INSPECTIONS,
ZERO VIOLATIONS.
THE TEAM SAYS SINCE THE PANDEMIC
HIT, THAT'S BEEN THE NORM.
AFTER A MONTH AND A HALF OF 
PATROLS, THEY HAVEN'T ISSUED A 
SINGLE FINE.
JESSE JOHNSTON, CBC NEWS, 
SURREY.
>> Mike:  WELL, THE PROVINCE'S 
LATEST COVID-19 CASE NUMBERS ARE
A PROMISING SIGN OF A DOWNWARD 
TREND.
UNFORTUNATELY, THERE HAS BEEN 
ONE NEW DEATH IN OUR PROVINCE.
BC'S TOTAL NOW AT 131.
THERE WERE JUST 7 NEW CASES 
SINCE YESTERDAY.
THAT BRINGS THE NUMBER OF 
CONFIRMED CASES TO 2,360.
ALSO A BIG INCREASE IN THE 
NUMBER OF RECOVERIES, WITH MORE 
THAN 1,800 RECORDED.
THAT'S NEARLY 80% OF ALL CASES.
THE NUMBER OF HOSPITALIZATIONS 
IS ALSO DOWN TO 63.
16 OF THOSE PEOPLE IN INTENSIVE 
CARE.
>> Anita:  BC'S PROVINCIAL 
HEALTH OFFICER IS OFFERING A 
LITTLE MORE GUIDANCE ON WHAT 
KIND OF LOCAL TRAVEL WE SHOULD 
EXPECT THIS SUMMER.
>> Mike:  AUR TANYA FLETCHER 
JOINS US LIVE WITH MORE.
TANYA, WHAT'S THE ADVICE FOR 
ANYONE, WELL, LOOKING TO 
VACATION AT, SAY, A CABIN IN THE
PROVINCE, FOR EXAMPLE. 
>> Reporter:  YEAH, SOME OTHER 
PROVINCES ARE ASKING PEOPLE TO 
TRAVEL IN PROVINCE TO THOSE 
TOURIST-DEPENDENT PLACES BUT Dr.
BONNIE HENRY SAYS IT COMES DOWN 
TO PROGRESSION AND TIMING.
BUT RIGHT NOW, BC IS STILL 
CONSIDERED IN OUR OUTBREAK 
PHASE.
SO FOR THIS COMING LONG WEEKEND,
THE MESSAGE IS STAY CLOSE TO 
HOME AND ENJOY WHERE YOU LIVE.
HOWEVER, IF WE CONTINUE TO SEE 
THE KIND OF PROGRESS WE HAVE 
BEEN SEEING IN THE SUMMER 
MONTHS, THAT WILL GRADUALLY 
CHANGE.
>> WE NEED TO SUPPORT OUR 
BUSINESSES AND SMALLER 
COMMUNITIES, BUT WE NEED TO DO 
IT IN A WAY THAT IS PROTECTIVE 
AS WELL.
SO IF I OWN A SUMMER COTTAGE IN 
A SMALL COMMUNITY, YOU KNOW, 
YEAH, LET'S GO THERE, BUT LET'S 
NOT OVERWHELM THAT SYSTEM.
LET'S BRING OUR FOOD WITH US SO 
THAT WE'RE NOT CREATING LINE-UPS
AND HAVOC AT THE LOCAL GROCERY 
STORE. 
>> Anita:  AS RESTRICTIONS BEGIN
TO LIFT, MANY ARE WONDERING WHAT
TYPE OF IN-PERSON INTERACTIONS 
ARE SAFE AND FOR THE FIRST TIME,
BC'S PUBLIC HEALTH OFFICER IS 
GIVING A BIT OF RELATIONSHIP 
ADVICE.
WHAT IS SHE SAYING?
>> Reporter:  THAT'S RIGHT, 
ANITA.
A WORD OF CAUTION SHE IS SENDING
FOR THOSE LOOKING TO START 
DATING AGAIN.
Dr. HENRY ACKNOWLEDGES THIS HAS 
BEEN A VERY LONELY TIME FOR 
SOME, BUT SHE SAYS SHE HAS BEEN 
PLEASANTLY SURPRISED BY THE 
RESOURCEFULNESS OF MANY.
>> MANY PEOPLE HAVE ADAPTED, I 
KNOW, TO ONLINE AND TO TALKING 
ONLINE AND TO HAVING ENCOUNTERS 
ONLINE THAT CAN BE QUITE -- 
QUITE HELPFUL IN THAT REGARD.
>> IF YOU ARE GOING TO START A 
RELATIONSHIP WITH SOMEBODY, THIS
IS NOT THE TIME TO DO RAPID 
SERIAL DATING, OKAY?
SO PICK SOMEBODY.
SEE IF IT WORKS.
AND THEN TAKE YOUR TIME.
>> Reporter:  ALL RIGHT, NOTED.
SHE POINTS OUT THE VIRUS IS, OF 
COURSE, PRIMARILY SPREAD THROUGH
DROPLETS.
SO THAT MEANS KISSING IS VERY 
HIGH RISK RIGHT NOW, AND AS WE 
PREPARE TO EXPAND OUR PERSONAL 
BUBBLES, SHE WARNS AGAINST 
SEEING TOO MANY PEOPLE TOO 
QUICKLY.
SO IF YOU ARE GOING TO PULL 
SOMEONE INTO YOUR SMALL CIRCLE, 
SHE SAYS MAKE SURE YOU ARE THE 
ONLY ONE THAT THEY ARE PULLING 
INTO THEIR SMALL CIRCLE AS WELL.
>> Anita:  STICK TO DATING ONE 
PERSON.
GOOD ADVICE.
THANKS. 
>> Mike:  PREMIER JOHN HORGAN IS
WORKING TO BRING NHL GAMES TO BC
PERHAPS THIS SUMMER.
HE SAID THIS MORNING HE EXPECTS 
TO SPEAK TO THE LEAGUE TODAY, 
BUT Dr. BONNIE HENRY IS OPEN TO 
THE POSSIBILITY ALONG WITH THE 
RISKS. 
>> A LOT OF IFS AROUND THIS.
IN THEORY, I THINK IT'S A REALLY
GREAT IDEA.
OF COURSE, IT WILL DEPEND ON 
TIMING, WHERE WE ARE IN OUR 
PHASES.
I THINK IT IS VERY MUCH IN THE 
THEORETICAL PHASE RIGHT NOW.
BUT, YOU KNOW, I THINK WE COULD 
LOOK AT THE PROBABILITIES AND 
THE POSSIBILITIES, IF AND WHEN 
THEY COME FORWARD WITH A 
PROPOSAL.
>> Mike:  THE PREMIER SAYS ANY 
PLAYER ARRIVING FROM OUTSIDE 
CANADA WOULD STILL BE REQUIRED 
TO SELF-ISOLATE FOR 14 DAYS.
AND THE GAMES WOULD HAPPEN 
WITHOUT ANY FANS IN THE STANDS.
>> Anita:  WELL, THE PRIME 
MINISTER IS RESPONDING TO 
CONCERNS FROM BC HEALTH 
OFFICIALS WORRIED ABOUT 
REOPENING THE CANADA-U.S. BORDER
TO NON-ESSENTIAL TRAVEL.
JUSTIN TRUDEAU AGREES, SAYING 
CANADA IS GOING TO BE CAUTIOUS.
WHILE THE CURRENT BAN ON 
NON-ESSENTIAL TRAVEL IS SET TO 
EXPIRE MAY 21ST, TALKS ARE 
ONGOING BETWEEN THE TWO 
COUNTRIES.
3,000 NON-ESSENTIAL TRAVELLERS 
HAVE BEEN DENIED ENTRY INTO 
CANADA FROM THE U.S. SINCE 
MARCH.
WHEN ASKED ABOUT THIS THIS THIS 
MORNING, ABOUT REOPENING THE 
BORDER WITH THE U.S. TO MORE 
THAN JUST ESSENTIAL WORKERS, 
TRUDEAU HAD THIS TO SAY ...
>> Rt. Hon. Justin Trudeau:  
PREVENTING TRANSMISSION FROM 
OUTSIDE OF CANADA INTO CANADA 
ONCE WE HAVE CONTROLLED THE 
SPREAD WITHIN CANADA WILL BE AN 
ESSENTIAL PART OF ENSURING THAT 
WE DON'T FALL BACK INTO A SECOND
WAVE THAT COULD BE AS SERIOUS AS
THIS WAVE WE'RE GOING THROUGH OR
EVEN MORE SO.
WE'RE GOING TO BE VERY, VERY 
CAREFUL ABOUT REOPENING ANY 
INTERNATIONAL TRAVEL, INCLUDING 
THE UNITED STATES, BEFORE WE 
FEEL THAT IT IS TIME.
>> Anita:  ONTARIO HAS ALSO 
RAISED CONCERNS.
>> Mike:  AND THE PROVINCE OF BC
IS ROLLING OUT A NEW PROGRAM TO 
PROVIDE CELLPHONES TO HELP 
HOMELESS PEOPLE STAY CONNECTED 
DURING THIS TIME OF PHYSICAL 
DISTANCING.
WITH THE CLOSURE OF PUBLIC 
SPACES LIKE LIBRARY, IT'S EVEN 
HARDER FOR VULNERABLE PEOPLE TO 
ACCESS IMPORTANT ONLINE 
RESOURCES.
3,500 CELLPHONES ARE BEING 
DISTRIBUTED, ALL PRELOADED WITH 
A DATA CARD, SO PEOPLE HAVE 
IMMEDIATE ACCESS TO THE 
INTERNET.
THE PROVINCE SAYS THE 
SMARTPHONES WILL ACCESS TO 
SERVICES -- HAVE ACCESS TO 
SERVICES, LIKE ARRANGING 
MEDICATION AND SAFE SUPPLY 
DELIVERY AND VIRTUAL DOCTOR 
MEETINGS.
THE PHONES WERE SECURED THROUGH 
THE HOMELESSNESS COMMUNITY 
ACTION GRANT PROGRAM AND A 
PARTNERSHIP WITH 7-ELEVEN. 
>> Anita:  WELL, SOME CANADIANS 
HEAD BACK TO WORK, AND 
BUSINESSES SLOWLY BEGINNING TO 
REOPEN, AND WE'RE CHECKING IN ON
THE ECONOMY IN CANADA.
TOMORROW CBC IS HOSTING A TOWN 
HALL WITH EXPERTS LIVING WITH 
COVID.
YOUR JOB, YOUR MONEY, YOUR 
FUTURE.
JOIN US.
WE'RE LIVE COMMERCIAL-FREE 
SPECIAL HALL ON CBC NEWS NETWORK
AND RADIO ONE.
TOMORROW WEDNESDAY NIGHT ON CBC 
NEWS NETWORK AND RADIO ONE ALSO 
STREAMING ON CBC GEM, CBC LISTEN
AND OUR CBC NEWS APP.
YOU CAN WATCH IT AT 4 P.M. 
PACIFIC OR YOU CAN LISTEN AT 7 
P.M.
[♪♪♪]
>> Mike:  ALL RIGHT.
LET'S BRING IN METEOROLOGIST 
BRETT SODERHOLM NOW.
KIND OF OMINOUS OUT THERE 
TONIGHT, BRETT.
YOU ARE TRACKING SOME STORMS 
THERE, ARRIVING IN THE LOWER 
MAINLAND?
>> Brett:  YEAH, I ABSOLUTELY 
AM.
BRINGING LOTS OF HEAVY RAIN, 
EVEN LIGHTNING AND THUNDER WITH 
IT.
AND IT'S NOT GOING TO BE 
IMPACTING BAERCH, BUT BECAUSE 
IT'S SUCH A LOCALIZED AREA, I 
WANT TO ADDRESS SOME AREAS VERY 
CLOSELY AND IN A LOT OF DETAIL.
RADAR MAPS.
THESE ARE KIND OF IMPORTANT TO 
TALK ABOUT THUNDERSHOWERS.
ACROSS THE SOUTH COAST, LOTS OF 
LITTLE ACTIVITY.
LOTS OF LITTLE STORMS BUBBLING 
UP HERE AND THERE.
ANYTIME YOU SEE A COLOUR THAT'S 
SORT OF IN THE YELLOW, ORANGE OR
RED, THAT'S INDICATIVE OF VERY 
STRONG RAIN THAT'S GOING TO BE 
FALLING IF NOT ACTUALLY SOME 
HAIL.
SO EARLIER TODAY, WE SAW 
EXAMPLES OF THIS IN ABBOTSFORD, 
ALSO OUT TOWARD THE NORTH SHORE.
A STORM WENT THROUGH SURREY, BUT
THE ONE RIGHT NOW THAT I'M 
WATCHING IS BASICALLY JUST OVER 
NEW WEST TOWARD BURNABY, AND YOU
CAN SEE IN THESE LAST COUPLE OF 
FRAMES HERE, IT LOOKS LIKE IT'S 
NOT REALLY SUSTAINING ITSELF BUT
THIS IS DEFINITELY THE POTENTIAL
FOR A LOT OF HEAVY RAIN TO BE 
FALLING IN THAT AREA IN A VERY 
QUICK PERIOD OF TIME.
SO DO BE ON THE LOOKOUT FOR THAT
AS WE GO AHEAD THROUGHOUT THE 
NEXT COUPLE OF HOURS.
NOW CURRENTLY TEMPERATURES BACK 
TO SEASONAL, A FAR CRY FROM 
WHERE WE WERE OVER THE WEEKEND.
PRETTY WELL WHERE WE SHOULD BE 
FOR THIS TIME OAF DAY.
THROUGH THE EVENING, STILL THE 
POTENTIAL FOR ADDITIONAL 
THUNDERSHOWERS.
THAT'S GOING TO CHANGE OVER TO 
BORING OLD RAIN THROUGHOUT THE 
OVERNIGHT PERIOD AND BY THIS 
TIME TOMORROW, WE SHOULD STILL 
SEE A FEW GLIMPSES OF THAT 
SUNSHINE.
>> Anita:  THANKS, BRETT. 
>> Mike:  YOU CAN WATCH THIS  
NEWSCAST LIVE ON THE FREE CBC 
GEM APP. 
>> Anita:  ALSO ON FACEBOOK, 
YOUTUBE, AND INSTAGRAM AND YOU 
CAN FOLLOW BOTH OF US ON TWITTER
AND INSTAGRAM AS WELL.
[♪♪♪]
>> Mike:  WELL, THE PRESIDENT 
HAS BEEN SAYING HIS COUNTRY IS 
IN RECOVERY MODE.
WELL TODAY HIS TOP DOCTOR TOLD 
SENATORS THE BATTLE IS FAR FROM 
OVER.
Dr. FAUCI'S WORDS COMING NEXT.
[♪♪♪]
>> Anita:  THANK YOU VERY MUCH 
FOR STICKING WITH US ON OUR 
AD-FREE LIVESTREAM DURING THE TV
COMMERCIAL BREAK.
YESTERDAY WE SHOWED YOU HOW SOME
RESTAURANTS ARE LOOKING FOR 
GOVERNMENT HELP WITH 
ACCOMMODATING CUSTOMERS. 
>> Mike:  THEY ARE HELPING STAFF
ADAPT TO THESE TIMES AS WELL.
MORE ON THE CHALLENGES FOR 
WORKERS AND RESTAURANT KITCHENS 
AND THE CHANGES THEY ARE SERVING
UP.
>> UM, IT'S A STRUGGLE.
>> Reporter:  IT'S NOT EASILY TO
PHYSICALLY DISTANCE YOURSELF 
FROM OTHERS IN A KITCHEN, BUT 
EDMUND SAYS HE AND HIS 
COLLEAGUES ARE MAKING IT WORK. 
>> MOST KITCHENS, LIKE, YOU HAVE
TO SLOW -- WORK CLOSE TOGETHER, 
AND, LIKE, TRYING TO STAY 6 FEET
APART OF EACH OTHER, IT'S A 
STRUGGLE.
WE'RE TRYING TO GET THROUGH IT 
AS MUCH AS WE CAN.
>> Reporter:  THAT MEANS LETTING
OTHERS KNOW WHERE YOU ARE AND 
STAYING IN THE BOXES MARKED ON 
THE FLOOR.
MADRYGA AND TWO OTHERS ARE 
RENTING THIS KITCHEN.
>> IT'S PRETTY MUCH A GUIDELINE 
TO MAKE SURE.
SOMETIMES THEY ARE BUSY AND 
COOKING AND SETTING UP FOOD, 
THEY FORGOT WHERE THEY ARE.
SO THAT RED SIGN ON THE FLOOR 
WILL LET THEM KNOW, LIKE, OKAY, 
YOU HAVE TO KEEP HERE.
>> Reporter:  THIS IS A FOOD 
TRIP, A SHARED KITCHEN IN 
ST. JAMES.
SHE IS RENTING OUT THE KITCHEN 
TO DIFFERENT VENDORS WHO 
NORMALLY RUN AT FESTIVALS AND 
MARKETS. 
>> THE ORIGINAL INTENTION IS 
REALLY TO HELP AS MUCH AS SMALL 
BUSINESSES OR VENDORS AS WE CAN,
BUT BECAUSE OF PHYSICAL 
DISTANCING, WE JUST STARTED WITH
THREE VENDORS.
AND ONLY MINIMIZING TWO COOKS 
FOR EACH VENDOR. 
>> Reporter:  THE PROVINCE HAS 
STRICT GUIDELINES FOR 
RESTAURANTS ON CLEANING AND 
KEEPING CUSTOMERS SAFE, BUT 
PHYSICAL DISTANCING BETWEEN 
EMPLOYEES SEEMS TO BE MORE 
LOOSE.
>> PHYSICAL DISTANCING IS 
POSSIBLE.
IT MIGHT NOT BE POSSIBLE 100% OF
THE TIME BUT FOR THE MOST PART, 
WE SHOULD STILL BE AWARE OF THE 
PHYSICAL DISTANCING AND THE 
NECESSITY TO DO THAT.
AND THEN ON TOP OF THAT, PEOPLE 
COULD CHOOSE TO WEAR NON-MEDICAL
MASKS.
BUT, AGAIN, ONLY IF THEY -- THEY
REALIZE THAT IT'S NOT PROTECTING
THEM.
IT'S PROTECTING THE PEOPLE 
AROUND THEM.
>> I HAVE BEEN TO SEVERAL 
DRIVE-THRUS AND FAST FOOD PLACES
OVER THE PAST FEW DAYS, AND 
PHYSICAL DISTANCING SEEMS TO BE 
A CHALLENGE IN THOSE KITCHENS.
A LOT OF PEOPLE WERE WEARING 
MASKS.
SOME PEOPLE WERE WEARING MASKS 
AND GLOVES.
BUT STILL, EVERYONE WAS PRETTY 
CLOSE TOGETHER, ESPECIALLY IN 
DRIVE-THRUS.
PEOPLE WERE BACK TO BACK AT THE 
WINDOW.
BUT SOME PLACES ARE GETTING 
CREATIVE IN SOME SPACES, BIC 
SERGEANT SUNDAY.
THEY ACTUALLY HAVE AN ASSEMBLY 
LINE GOING SO STAFF ARE NOT 
STEPPING OVER ONE ANOTHER.
BUT THAT'S NOT AN OPTION IN ALL 
KITCHENS.
>> NOW IS THE TIME TO HOLD THESE
EMPLOYERS, ANY EMPLOYER TO THE 
TEST TO SAY, YOU HAVE GOT TO DO 
THIS RIGHT OR I'M NOT GOING TO 
WORK FOR YOU.
THAT DOESN'T MEAN I LOSE MY JOB.
THAT MEANS I'M GOING TO HAVE AN 
INTERVENTION. 
>> Reporter:  EMPLOYEES WHO HAVE
CONCERNS SHOULD GET IN TOUCH 
WITH THEIR REGIONAL HEALTH AND 
SAFETY DEPARTMENT.
SAM SAMSON, CBC NEWS, WINNIPEG.
>> Anita:  I WILL SAY I HAVE 
BEEN INTO A FEW RESTAURANTS HERE
IN METRO VANCOUVER.
AND YOU ALWAYS SEE THE OWNER AND
ANOTHER FAMILY MEMBER WORKING 
TOGETHER.
AND THEY HAVEN'T HAD ANY OTHER 
STAFF IN THERE.
SO IT'S BEEN -- 
>> Mike:  TIGHT QUARTERS.
NOT JUST IN THE ESTABLISHMENT 
BUT ESPECIALLY IN THE KITCHENS.
SO IT'S A CHALLENGE TO STAY THAT
FAR APART.
>> Anita:  FOR SURE.
>> Mike:  M'MM-HMM. 
>> Anita:  STICK WITH US.
WE WILL HAVE THE LATEST COVID-19
HEADLINES FROM AROUND THE WORLD 
IN JUST A FEW MOMENTS.
[♪♪♪]
>> Anita:  WELL, MILLIONS OF 
CANADIAN SENIORS WILL BE GETTING
A DIRECT PAYMENT OF UP TO $500 
FROM OTTAWA.
AS JULIE VAN DUSEN REPORTS, THE 
MONEY IS INTENDED TO HELP WITH 
COSTS RELATED TO THE PANDEMIC.
>> Reporter:  SENIORS RECEIVE 
FIXED MONTHLY BENEFITS BUT THEY 
HAVE SEEN THEIR COSTS RISE 
DURING THE PANDEMIC.
GROCERIES, DELIVERY FEES, 
DISPENSING FEES FOR PRESCRIPTION
DRUGS, TAXIS INSTEAD OF PUBLIC 
TRANSPORT.
THEIR INVESTMENTS HAVE TAKEN A 
HIT.
IT HASN'T BEEN EASY, SAYS 
75-YEAR-OLD JOHN McDOUGALL. 
>> MY MONEY IS BASICALLY 
INVESTED.
MAYBE I WOULD HAVE BEEN BETTER 
TO PUT IT UNDER MY BED.
I DON'T KNOW. 
>> Reporter:  SENIORS BUILT THE 
CANADA WE KNOW AND LOVE.
>> Reporter:  THERE IS NOTHING 
TODAY TO HELP SENIORS WITH THEIR
DECLINING INVESTMENTS BUT THE 
GOVERNMENT WILL GIVE A ONE-TIME 
TOP-UP TO HELP WITH THEIR

THOSE SENIORS WHOSE INCOME IS 
UNDER $128,000 WILL RECEIVE AN

A ONE-TIME PAYMENT ADDED TO 
THEIR OLD AGE SECURITY CHEQUE.
LOW-INCOME SENIORS WHO RECEIVE 
THE GUARANTEED INCOME SUPPLEMENT
WILL GET AN EXTRA $200, A 
ONE-TIME BOOST FOR THEM, $500.
THE GOVERNMENT WAS ASKED 
REPEATEDLY WHY THERE IS ONLY ONE

THE PANDEMIC COULD LAST A LONG 
TIME.

>> Rt. Hon. Justin Trudeau:  IF

WE'RE LOOKING AT IS THE 
SHORT-TERM SUPPORT. 
>> Reporter:  ON THE HEALTH 
FRONT, MORE THAN 80% OF DEATHS 
DUE TO COVID-19 IN CANADA HAS 
BEEN SENIORS, MANY IN B 
LONG-TERM CARE HOMES.
THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT HAS 
OFFERED TEMPORARY HELP.
EXAMPLE:  SENDING IN SOLDIERS. 
>> WHAT WE'RE EXPERIENCING IN 
CANADA IS -- IS UNPRECEDENTED 
AND UNACCEPTABLE.
>> Reporter:  THE PRIME MINISTER
SAYS IT'S NOT UP TO THE FEDERAL 
GOVERNMENT TO FIX THE PROBLEMS 
IN SENIORS HOMES.
BUT HE SAYS IN THE COMING MONTHS
HIS GOVERNMENT WILL HELP THE 
PROVINCES FIND LASTING 
SOLUTIONS.

>> Mike:  AND RIGHT NOW, 
RESEARCHERS IN CHINA AND CANADA 
ARE JOINTLY WORKING ON A 
POTENTIAL COVID VACCINE.
IT'S ALREADY IN HUMAN TRIALS, 
BUT AS CHRISTINE BIRAK TELLS US,
WHETHER IT WORKS IS JUST ONE OF 
THE QUESTIONS SWIRLING AROUND 
IT.
>> Reporter:  IT COULD BE 
CANADA'S FIRST SHOT AT GETTING A
VACCINE FOR COVID-19.
ONE THAT COULD EVENTUALLY END 
THIS PANDEMIC.
>> I THINK WE HAVE TO TAKE MANY 
SHOTS, BUT HOPEFULLY, FINALLY, 
WE WILL SEE THE HOME RUN.
[♪♪♪]
>> Reporter:  CANADA'S NATIONAL 
RESEARCH COUNCIL, OR NRC, IS THE
GOVERNMENT'S MAIN RESEARCH AND 
TECHNOLOGY ARM.
IT'S PARTNERING WITH A CHINESE 
COMPANY DEVELOPING A LEADING 
VACCINE CONTENDER.
BOTH ORGANIZATIONS WORK TOGETHER
IN 2013 TO SUCCESSFULLY PRODUCE 
AN EBOLA VACCINE. 
>> IN A WAY, WE ARE BRINGING 
BACK HOME A CANADIAN TECHNOLOGY 
AND WE ARE ABLE TO HAVE THE MOST
ADVANCED VACCINE CANDIDATES IN 
THE WORLD.
POTENTIALLY AVAILABLE FOR 
CANADIANS IN SHORT ORDER.
>> Reporter:  THEY HAVE STARTED 
HUMAN TRIALS IN CHINA.
NOW IT WANTS CANADIAN SCIENTISTS
TO MANUFACTURE THE POTENTIAL 
VACCINE AT THIS MONTREÉAL LAB AD
TEST IT. 
>> SO WHAT THEY ARE TRYING TO 
FIGURE OUT IS WHETHER IT'S SAFE 
TO GIVE IT. 
>> Reporter:  IF HEALTH CANADA 
APPROVES THE CLINICAL TRIAL, 
RESEARCHERS AT DALHOUSIE 
UNIVERSITY WOULD START BY 
INJECTING HEALTHY VOLUNTEERS IN 
NOVA SCOTIA.
>> WHAT YOU DO IS TO 
PROGRESSIVELY INCREASE THE 
SAMPLE SIZE, BECAUSE YOU CAN'T 
REALLY TELL HOW EFFECTIVE 
SOMETHING IS UNTIL YOU HAVE GOT 
A LARGE NUMBER OF PEOPLE AND 
IT'S OUT IN THE FIELD.
>> Reporter:  WITHIN MONTHS, THE
VACCINE COULD BE GIVEN TO PEOPLE
IN HOSPITALS RIGHT ACROSS THE 
COUNTRY.
>> WELL, I THINK IT'S AN 
EXCITING DEVELOPMENT.
THE DEVIL WILL BE IN THE 
DETAILS. 
>> Reporter:  SOME PUBLIC HEALTH
EXPERTS ARE QUESTIONING THE 
TRANSPARENCY OF THIS TRIAL, 
ASKING WHETHER CANADA WILL HAVE 
ACCESS TO ALL THE DATA ON THE 
SAFETY AND EFFICACY OF THIS 
VACCINE, INCLUDING TEST RESULTS 
FROM CHINA.
>> THERE WILL BE DATA SHOWING. 
>> Reporter:  IF THE VACCINE 
WORKS, AND THAT'S A BIG "IF," 
HEALTH CARE WORKERS COULD START 
GETTING THE FIRST SHOTS IN 
DECEMBER OR EARLY NEXT YEAR.

>> Anita:  A CLUSTER OF NEW 
CASES NOW BEING REPORTED IN 
WUHAN, WHICH WAS THE EPICENTRE 
OF THE FIRST CORONAVIRUS 
OUTBREAK.
IT COMES AS CHINA WAS STARTING 
TO RECOVER FROM THE DEADLY 
PANDEMIC AND ALLOWING MORE 
COMMUNITIES AND BUSINESSES TO 
REOPEN.
THE SIX NEW INFECTIONS IN THE 
NATION'S PREVIOUSLY WORST HIT 
CITY HAVE PROMPTED FEARS OF A 
SECOND WAVE.
LOCAL HEALTH OFFICIALS PLAN TO 
TEST WUHAN'S ENTIRE POPULATION.
THAT'S 11 MILLION PEOPLE OVER 10
DAYS.
THAT'S IN THE HOPES OF STOPPING 
A POSSIBLE RESURGENCE OF THE 
DISEASE.
AS FREELANCE REPORTER PATRICK 
FOLK REPORTS, HEALTH OFFICIALS 
THERE NOT TAKING ANY CHANCES.
>> Reporter:  THERE HAVE BEEN 
SIX NEW LOCALLY TRANSMITTED 
CASES IN THE CITY, AND ACCORDING
TO REPORTS, ACCORDING TO REUTERS
REPORT, CITING TWO PEOPLE SICK, 
AND ALSO SAYING IT'S SEEN 
INTERNAL DOCUMENTS, WUHAN IS 
PLANNING ON TESTING ALL 
RESIDENTS IN THE NEXT TEN DAYS.
WE'RE TALKING ABOUT 11 MILLION 
PEOPLE GETTING TESTS IN A SPACE 
OF TEN DAYS.
BUT IT GOES TO SHOW HOW 
CONCERNED AUTHORITIES ARE.
IN FACT, EVERY DISTRICT IN WUHAN
NEEDS TO COME UP WITH A PLAN ON 
HOW THEY ARE GOING TO DO THAT 
TODAY.
THAT SUGGESTS PERHAPS THAT THE 
SITUATION THAT HAS BEEN TALKED 
ABOUT MIGHT BE WORSE THAN THEY 
HAD PREVIOUSLY SUGGESTED.
WE KNOW THAT THERE WERE THESE 
SIX NEW LOCALLY TRANSMITTED 
CASES, BUT THEY WERE APPARENTLY 
ALL ASYMPTOMATIC CARRIERS.
THEY WERE ALL UNDER QUARANTINE.
AND THEY ARE ALL BEING KEPT IN 
THE SAME RESIDENTIAL COMPOUND.
SO IT SEEMED AS THOUGH 
AUTHORITIES HAD CONTROL OVER THE
SITUATION.
BUT THIS SUGGESTS THAT THERE MAY
BE SOMETHING MORE TO IT, IF NOT,
THERE IS CLEARLY SOME CONCERN 
ABOUT THE POSSIBILITY OF A 
SECOND WAVE IN WUHAN. 
>> Mike:  THAT REPORT FROM 
FREELANCE REPORTER PATRICK FOK 
IN BEIJING TONIGHT. 
>>> A BLUNT WARNING TODAY FROM 
TOP EXPERTS IN THE UNITED STATES
AGAINST REOPENING AMERICA TOO 
SOON.
IT COMES AS THE TRUMP 
ADMINISTRATION DEALING WITH 
REPORTED UNEMPLOYMENT CONTINUES 
TO PUSH FOR STATES TO LOOSEN 
CORONAVIRUS RESTRICTIONS.
BUT AS KATIE SIMPSON REPORTS, 
WITH NO VACCINE OR TREATMENT TO 
STEM THE DEADLY SPREAD OF THE 
PANDEMIC, TOP DOCTORS SAY THE 
COUNTRY IS NOT OUT OF THE WOODS.
>> STAY AS CLOSE AS POSSIBLE TO 
FIVE MINUTES, THEN ALL SENATORS 
CAN GET THEIR QUESTIONS IN. 
>> Reporter:  THERE COULD BE 
SERIOUS CONSEQUENCES FOR BOTH 
PUBLIC HEALTH AND THE ECONOMY IF
STATES BEGIN TO REOPEN TOO 
QUICKLY WITHOUT ADEQUATE TESTING
TO TRACK AND ISOLATE THE 
CORONAVIRUS.
THE MESSAGE WAS DELIVERED 
REPEATEDLY TODAY DURING THE 
THREE AND A HALF HOUR HEARING 
EXAMINING THE U.S. RESPONSE TO 
THE OUTBREAK.
>> THERE IS A REAL RISK THAT YOU
WILL TRIGGER AN OUTBREAK THAT 
YOU MIGHT NOT BE ABLE TO 
CONTROL, WHICH IN FACT, 
PARADOXICALLY WILL SET YOU BACK.
NOT ONLY LEADING TO SOME 
SUFFERING AND DEATH THAT COULD 
BE AVOIDED BUT COULD SET YOU 
BACK ON THE ROAD TO ECONOMIC 
RECOVERY. 
>> RAPID, EXTENSIVE, AND WIDELY 
AVAILABLE, TIMELY TESTING IS 
ESSENTIAL FOR REOPENING AMERICA.
>> Reporter:  THE HIGH-PROFILE 
SESSION TOOK PLACE AMID STRICT 
PHYSICAL-DISTANCING RULES.
A HANDFUL OF SENATORS ACTUALLY 
SAT IN THE ROOM WHILE EVERYONE 
ELSE JOINED BY VIDEO LINK.
DOCTOR ANTHONY FAUCI, THE TOP 
DOCTOR ON THE WHITEHORSE 
CORONAVIRUS TASK FORCE, SAYS 
IT'S HIS BELIEF THE ACTUAL 
NUMBER OF COVID-19 DEATHS IS 
LIKELY HIGHER THAN THE 80,000 
ALREADY RECORDED, SINCE IT'S 
LIKELY SOME DEATHS HAVE NOT BEEN
ACCOUNTED FOR.
SO HE DID OFFER SOME CAUTIOUS 
OPTIMISM ABOUT THE DEVELOPMENT 
OF A VACCINE.
HE SAYS RESEARCHERS COULD KNOW 
BY LATE FALL WHETHER THEY HAVE 
SOMETHING THAT MAY BE EFFECTIVE,
THOUGH DON'T EXPECT IT TO BE 
READY FOR THE START OF THE 
SCHOOL YEAR IN SEPTEMBER.
THAT TRIGGERED A HEATED EXCHANGE
WITH REPUBLICAN SENATOR RAND 
PAUL. 
>> YOU KNOW, THE MORTALITY 
BETWEEN 0 AND 18 IN THE NEW YORK
DATA APPROACHES 0.
IT'S NOT GOING TO BE ABSOLUTELY 
0, BUT ALMOST APPROACHES THAT.
AND I THINK THE 
ONE-SIZE-FITS-ALL, THAT WE HAVE 
A NATIONAL STRATEGY AND NOBODY 
GOING TO SCHOOL IS KIND OF 
RIDICULOUS.
>> I THINK WE BETTER BE CAREFUL 
IF WE ARE NOT CAVALIER IN IN 
ADDITION THAT CHILDREN ARE 
COMPLETELY IMMUNE TO THE 
EFFECTS. 
>> Reporter:  DEMOCRATS AND 
REPUBLICANS SAID TODAY TESTING 
IS THE ONLY WAY TO REALLY GET A 
HANDLE ON THE OUTBREAK.
THE TRUMP ADMINISTRATION IS 
PROMISING TO HAVE 40 TO 50 
MILLION TESTS AVAILABLE PER 
MONTH BY SEPTEMBER, WHILE 
CAPABILITIES HAVE BEEN EXPANDED 
IN THE U.S., THE TRUMP 
ADMINISTRATION HAS BROKEN MOST 
OF ITS TESTING-RELATED PROMISES.

EATING OUT OF A COMMONWEALTH,

ACKNOWLEDGE THAT HE HAS BEEN 
RACIST. 
>> Reporter:  ON INSTAGRAM, 
BRYAN ADAMS BLAMED THE 
CANCELLATION OF CONCERTS ON 
BAT-EATING, WET MARKET 
ANIMAL-SELLING VIRUS-MAKING 
GREEDY BASTARDS.
IT UNLEASHED A FIRESTORM ON 
SOCIAL MEDIA, AND ACCUSATIONS OF
RACISM.
ESPECIALLY FROM THE CHINESE 
COMMUNITY.

ANYTHING THAT CRAWLS, ALL, THAT 
IS CONSISTENT WITH THE 
STEREOTYPICAL, RACIST PORTRAYAL

HORRIBLE ANIMAL CRUELTY IN THESE
WET MARKETS AND PROMOTE

KATIE NICHOLSON, CBC NEWS, 
TORONTO.
>> Anita:  WELL, WITH SUCH AN 
INCREASE IN RACISM ACROSS THE 
COUNTRY AND IN MANY PARTS OF THE
WORLD, WE HAVE BROUGHT ON UBC 
PROFESSOR HENRY YU, WHO STUDIES 
RACISM IN OUR SOCIETY.
THANK YOU FOR BEING WITH US 
TONIGHT.
PROFESSOR, PRETTY SHOCKING 
INCIDENTS OF VERBAL AND PHYSICAL
ASSAULT ARE HAPPENING IN METRO 
VANCOUVER.
WHY DO YOU THINK THIS IS 
HAPPENING, AND HOW CONCERNING IS
IT FOR THE ASIAN COMMUNITY?
>> WELL, I THINK IT'S CONCERNING
FOR A LOT OF PEOPLE, AND IT'S 
CONCERNING PRECISELY BECAUSE A 
LOT OF THESE INCIDENTS ARE 
BASICALLY JUST BECAUSE SOMEONE 
LOOKS ASIAN AND YOU COULD SAY 
YOU ARE WEARING A MASK, YOU 
KNOW, WELL, ASIAN, RIDING THE 
BUS WHILE ASIAN.
A LOT OF PEOPLE ARE REACTING TO 
THIS THAT THEY ARE MAKING 
CHOICES NOW ABOUT, YOU KNOW,  
WHETHER THEY SHOULD WEAR A MASK.
WE SHOULD ALL BE DOING THAT TO 
PROTECT EACH OTHER AND YET NOW 
WHILE A MASK WHILE ASIAN SEEMS 
DANGEROUS OR JUST BEING ASIAN 
SEEMS DANGEROUS.
AND EVEN IF IT'S A SMALL 
MINORITY OF PEOPLE WHO ARE 
PHYSICALLY VIOLENT, IT'S STILL 
SENDING A CHILL TO A LOT OF 
PEOPLE WHO I THINK ARE WONDERING
HOW THEY SHOULD REACT, AND 
IT'S -- AGAIN, YOU WANT TO 
CONTROL HOW PEOPLE TREAT YOU, 
BUT IF YOU CAN'T, THEN YOU 
RESORT TO THIS SORT OF DESPERATE
MEASURES OF MAYBE NOT GOING OUT 
TO CERTAIN PLACES, MAYBE NOT 
WEARING A MASK, MAYBE TRYING TO 
PROVE THAT YOU BELONG.
AND I THINK THAT'S ONE OF THE 
DANGERS OF REALLY CELEBRITIES 
AND OTHERS NOT BEING MORE 
THOUGHTFUL ABOUT WHAT THEY ARE 
SAYING AND HOW -- WHAT KIND OF 
EFFECTS IT WILL HAVE. 
>> Anita:  WELL, IN A LOT OF 
THESE CASES ONLINE AND SOME OF 
THE IN-PERSON CASES, INCLUDING 
THE ADAMS' POST HERE -- WE'RE 
SEEING TALK ABOUT WET MARKETS IN
CHINA.
I'M NOT SURE THAT EVERYONE 
REALLY UNDERSTANDS THE CONCEPT.
CAN YOU TELL US WHAT A WET 
MARKET IS AND WHAT ROLE IT 
PLAYS?
>> WELL, I THINK THE TERM IN 
SOME SENSE HAS COME TO MEAN 
PLACES THAT ARE UNHYGIENIC.
BUT A WET MARKET VERSUS A DRY 
MARKET IN A LOT OF THE WORLD IS 
A PLACE WHERE THERE IS, YOU 
KNOW, SEAFOOD AND MEAT IS BEING 
SOLD ON MARKETS AS OPPOSED TO 
OTHER PLACES, WHERE THERE'S NOT,
YOU KNOW, ANIMALS OR VEGETABLES 
OR PRODUCE AND THINGS LIKE THAT.
AND SO IT WOULD BE LIKE SAYING 
THE BUTCHER SECTION OF YOUR 
SUPERMARKET LOOKS -- OR AN AREA 
THAT YOU GO GET MEAT OR A 
FISHMONGER.
IN SOME SENSE IT'S A NEUTRAL 
TERM BUT IT'S BEING USED NOW IN 
THE WAY -- I THINK BY SOME 
PEOPLE, TALKING ABOUT 
SLAUGHTERHOUSES AS BEING 
INHIRNTLY HORRIFIC BECAUSE OF 
WHAT GOES ON THERE, AND I THINK 
THAT'S ONE OF THE WAYS IN WHICH 
THE TERM ITSELF, FOR A LOT OF 
PEOPLE, IT MEANS NOTHING.
THEY DON'T UNDERSTAND IT.
THE DRY MARKET, WELL, WHAT MAKES
ONE WET AND WHAT MAKES THE OTHER
DRY IS WHAT'S BEING SOLD IN 
THERE.
IT'S A FAIRLY NEUTRAL TERM.
THE WAY IT WAS USED, FOR 
INSTANCE, IN THE BRYAN ADAMS' 
RANT YOU COULD CALL IT, ALONG 
WITH THESE OTHER THINGS, LIKE 
BAT-EATING AND, YOU KNOW, AGAIN,
THE -- THIS SORT OF CONSPIRACY 
THEORY THAT THE VIRUS, COVID-19,
SYMPTOMS, YOU KNOW, ASSOCIATED 
WITH -- IS SOMEHOW MANMADE.
THESE ARE ALL IN SOME SENSE, YOU
KNOW, UNTHOUGHTFUL AND REALLY 
INAPPROPRIATE WAYS OF 
RESPONDING.
AGAIN, YOU KNOW, WE UNDERSTAND, 
ALL OF US WHO HAVE BEEN AT HOME 
FOR TWO MONTHS NOW, THAT THERE 
IS A LOT OF FRUSTRATION, THERE 
IS FEAR, BUT JUST WHAT ARE THE 
APPROPRIATE WAYS TO RESPOND TO 
THAT.
LASHING OUT AND, YOU KNOW, 
CALLING A WHOLE SET OF PEOPLE AS
THE PROBLEM, YOU KNOW, I THINK 
THAT'S REALLY NOT THE WAY TO GO.
>> Anita:  A LOT FOR PEOPLE TO 
THINK ABOUT, FOR SURE.
THANK YOU SO MUCH, PROFESSOR, 
FOR BEING ON THE SHOW. 
>> THANK YOU.

WHAT'S HAPPENING?

>> Brett:  I KNOW.
YOU CAN'T REALLY TELL, BUT MY 
BALCONY IS ABOUT HALF EXPOSED.
SO ABOUT THE RIGHT SIDE OF ME IS
GETTING RAINED ON WHILE THE 
OTHER SIDE ST. DRY.
BUT THAT'S THE REALITY, RIGHT?
THE SHOWERS COME AND GO AND WE 
ARE GOING TO BE DEALING WITH 
THIS FOR THE NEXT LITTLE WHILE.
WHERE I LEFT THINGS OFF IS 
TALKING ABOUT HOW THE HEAVY 
DOWNPOURS CAN COME UPON US 
SUDDENLY.
I WANT TO SHOW YOU.
A NEW LOOK AT THE RADAR, BECAUSE
IT CERTAINLY HAS GOTTEN A BIT 
CRAZIER SINCE WE LAST SPOKE.
IF WE ZOOM IN SPECIFICALLY NOW 
TO THE DOWNTOWN CORE AND OVER TO
NORTH VANCOUVER, THAT IS 
ABSOLUTELY TORRENTIAL RAIN, JUST
ON THE OTHER SIDE OF THE LIONS 
BRIDGE THERE AND THIS IS GOING 
TO BE SEASONING CONTINUING FOR 
THE NEXT LITTLE BIT.
WE ARE IN DESPERATE NEED OF THE 
RAIN, THOUGH.
NOW WE ARE GOING TO BE STEADILY 
GETTING A BIT MORE OF THAT 
MUCH-NEEDED RAINFALL TO ADD TO 
OUR MONTHLY TOTALS.
THE OTHER THING I WANTED TO 
MENTION AS A POSITIVE SIDE OF 
THIS, FROM THE DRY WEATHER THAT 
WE HAD, ALL THROUGHOUT THE 
WEEKEND, THE FIRE DANGER RATING 
FROM YESTERDAY WAS QUITE HIGH, 
BUT LOOK AT THIS.
IF WE JUST TRANSITION OVER TO 
TODAY, IT HAS DROPPED DOWN 
SIGNIFICANTLY ACROSS THE SOUTH 
COAST.
AND YOU CAN THANK ALL OF THOSE 
COOLER TEMPERATURES AND, OF 
COURSE, THIS RAIN THAT IS 
FALLING AS WE SPEAK FOR THAT.
NOW, BC IN GENERAL IS GOING TO 
BE LOOKING A LITTLE BIT 
UNSETTLED OVER THE NEXT LITTLE 
WHILE.
THIS INCLUDES VANCOUVER ISLAND, 
THE LOWER MAINLAND, AND 
NATURALLY, OF COURSE, WE'RE 
GOING TO BE EXPECTING THE 
SHOWERS TO BE MAKING THEIR WAY 
INTO THE INTERIOR AS WELL, 
PARTICULARLY PLACES LIKE KELOWNA
AND KAMLOOPS.
LIKELY GOING TO BE DEALING WITH 
CONDITIONS THAT WE'RE 
EXPERIENCING RIGHT NOW IN TOWN.
FARTHER TO THE NORTH, PRINCE 
GEORGE, THOUGH, IS GOING TO BE 
LOOKING QUITE DRY.
BUT JUST A QUICK LITTLE SHOUT 
OUT TO THE DIVERSITY IN THE 
PROVINCE.
FORT NELSON DEALING WITH A BIT 
OF SNOW TOMORROW.
WINTER STILL HANGING ON IN SOME 
PLACES.
TEMPERATURE-WISE, THOUGH, ACROSS
THE SOUTH, ACROSS THE FORECAST 
HIGHS FOR TOMORROW AND THURSDAY,
WE'RE RIGHT WHERE WE SHOULD BE.
SO RIGHT AROUND 17 OR 18º HERE 
IN THE SOUTH COAST AND IN THE 
INTERIOR, THE LOW 20s, THAT IS 
WHERE WE NEED TO BE.
NOW, FOR A FIVE-DAY FORECAST, 
PUT A BIT OF AN OPTIMISTIC SPIN 
HERE.
I DON'T THINK IT'S GOING TO BE 
AN ABSOLUTE WASHOUT FOR THE NEXT
COUPLE OF DAYS.
WE ARE GOING TO BE SEEING A FEW 
SHOWERS HERE AND THERE, A FEW 
BREAKS OF SUN.
FRIDAY RIGHT NOW LOOKS TO BE 
ABOUT THE DRIEST DAY OF THE 
WEEK, AND EVEN COME SATURDAY TO 
START OFF THE WEEKEND, I DON'T 
THINK IT'S GOING TO BE ALL THAT 
BAD.
BUT THEN RAIN IS GOING TO BE 
EXPECTED TOWARD THE SECOND HALF,
AND AS I MENTIONED, THIS IS 
GREAT NEWS FOR BRINGING SOME 
LIFE BACK TO OUR GARDENS AND 
EVERYTHING AROUND US.
>> Anita:  THANKS VERY MUCH, 
BRETT. WE SAW THE STREETS AND 
>> Mike:  WELL, CANADIAN 
UNIVERSITIES ARE STARTING TO 
REVEAL THEIR TEACHING PLANS FOR 
SEPTEMBER. 
>> Anita:  BUT AS DEANA 
SUMANAC-JOHNSON TELLS US, MANY 
STUDENTS FEAR THEY WILL NOT BE 
GETTING THE SAME QUALITY OF 
EDUCATION THEY WERE GETTING 
BEFORE THE PANDEMIC.
>> Reporter:  THIS SHOULD BE A 
MOMENT FOR HER TO CELEBRATE.
SHE GOT INTO A UNIVERSITY 
PROGRAM OF HER CHOICE.
BUT NOW, WITHOUT THE PROMISE OF 
CAMPUS LIFE, SHE IS ANYTHING BUT
EXCITED.
>> I HAD PLANNED OUT WHAT 
RESIDENCE I WAS GOING TO APPLY 
FOR, AND I WAS LOOKING FORWARD 
TO MEETING NEW FRIENDS.
>> Reporter:  THE ONLINE OPTION 
PRESENTS OTHER PROBLEMS TO 
STUDENTS ALREADY IN UNIVERSITY, 
LIKE THIS FIRST-YEAR MED STUDENT
AT MCGILL.
>> AS FUTURE DOCTORS, WE NEED TO
HAVE THAT HANDS-ON TRAINING, 
ESPECIALLY FOR THE LABS NEXT 
SEMESTER.
REALLY NOT SURE WHAT THEY ARE 
PLANNING FOR THAT YET. 
>> I'M JUST LOOKING AT POURING 
THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS INTO THIS 
APARTMENT WHEN IT'S NOT 
NECESSARY NOW FOR ME TO BE HERE.
AND ALSO RECEIVING A LEVEL OF 
EDUCATION, BEYOND ONLINE 
CLASSES, WHICH TRADITIONALLY 
WOULD BE LESS EXPENSIVE THAN 
IN-PERSON CLASSES. 
>> Reporter:  DESPITE SUCH 
CONCERNS, IT LOOKS LIKE ONLINE 
COURSES WILL BE THE REALITY FOR 
MOST CANADIAN UNIVERSITIES COME 
FALL.
IN BRITISH COLUMBIA, UBC AND 
SIMON FRASER UNIVERSITY UNVEILED
PLANS TO TEACH LARGE CLASSES 
ONLINE WHILE ALLOWING FOR SMALL 
SEMINAR GROUPS OR LABS TO BE 
HELD IN PERSON.
TUITION WON'T BE REDUCED.
>> STUDENTS ARE RECEIVING TOP 
QUALITY EDUCATION AT AN 
INTERNATIONALLY RECOGNIZED AND 
RANKED UNIVERSITY, AND THEIR 
DEGREES WILL REFLECT THAT. 
>> Reporter:  ADMINISTRATORS 
STRESS THEY ARE WORKING HARD TO 
IMPROVE THE QUALITY OF ONLINE 
COURSES STUDENTS WILL HAVE IN 
THE FALL AND THAT MAY HAVE TO DO
FOR SHACKIL.
SHE IS THINKING OF ACCEPTING HER
AUR. 
>> I WAS THINKING ABOUT 
DEFERRING FOR A YEAR.
BUT JUST WITH THE WAY EVERYTHING
IS GOING, I'M NOT SURE IF I 
SHOULD TAKE A GAP YEAR BECAUSE I
DON'T KNOW IF I'LL BE ABLE TO 
FIND A JOB.
IT'S NOT LIKE A NORMAL GAP YEAR 
WHERE YOU CAN TRAVEL. 
>> Reporter:  AT A TIME OF LIFE 
USUALLY MARKED BY EXCITEMENT AND
ANXIETY, THERE IS NOW A STRESS 
OF A DIFFERENT KIND.
