B次元官网网址淚 hope that young people in B.C. donB次元官网网址檛 kill my mom, frankly B次元官网网址� or David Suzuki, or each other.B次元官网网址�

ThatB次元官网网址檚 the message Ryan Reynolds has for young British Columbians who have been in hot water for not following physical distancing and other social contact protocols due to the ongoing pandemic B次元官网网址� in turn leading to large spikes in daily case counts.

Since late-July, B.C. has been grappling with 50 to as many as 84 new confirmed COVID-19 cases each day after months of low transmission rates. Health officials have said the surge is due to people under the age of 39 being too relaxed on the rules B次元官网网址� a concern backed by B.C. Centre for Disease Control statistics.

During a news conference this week, Premier John Horgan called on Hollywood star Reynolds, known for his role as Deadpool, and another B.C.-born funnyman, Seth Rogen, to use their influence to help put a stop to large parties being hosted and attended by those in their 20s and 30s.

B次元官网网址淭his is a callout to Deadpool right now,B次元官网网址� Horgan said. B次元官网网址淩yan, we need your help up here. Get in touch with us, my numberB次元官网网址檚 on the internet.

B次元官网网址淪eth Rogen, another outstanding British Columbian. We need to communicate with people who arenB次元官网网址檛 hearing us. The two of you alone could help us in that regard.B次元官网网址�

On Friday (Aug. 14), Rogen tweeted that he had messaged Horgan on the social media platform, but not before Reynolds responded to the call for help with a hilarious B次元官网网址� but important B次元官网网址� message for those not following the rules.

B次元官网网址淵oung people in British Columbia are partying, which is of course dangerous, and they probably donB次元官网网址檛 know that thousands of young people arenB次元官网网址檛 just getting sick from the coronavirus B次元官网网址� they are dying from it, too,B次元官网网址� he says in the video.

B次元官网网址淚tB次元官网网址檚 terrible that it affects our most vulnerable. B.C. is home to some of the most coolest older people on Earth B次元官网网址� I mean. David Suzuki lives there.B次元官网网址�

Reynolds goes on to say that the pandemic has forced his own mom inside when sheB次元官网网址檇 rather be lounging at the beach in Kitsilano.

Although the actor and owner of Aviation Gin argues heB次元官网网址檚 not the most medically knowledgeable person to give medical advice, his message joins that of the provinceB次元官网网址檚 top medical experts B次元官网网址� specifically provincial health officer Dr. Bonnie Henry and Health Minister Adrian Dix.

As of Thursday, B.C. had 578 active confirmed cases of the novel coronavirus.

If transmission rates donB次元官网网址檛 subside, most recent modelling shows the province is on track to see 70 to 75 new test-positive cases each day into September, or more.
