In early July, the staff of a Langley City pharmacy got an unwelcome visitor B次元官网网址 a vehicle in their parking lot with a large sign offering to pay anyone who would infect the owner with coronavirus.

B次元官网网址$1,000.00 to the person who infects me with COVID-19,B次元官网网址 read the hand-lettered cardboard sign.

It was propped up on the windshield of the vehicle in front of the Evergreen Pharmacy on Douglas Crescent.

The sign alarmed a number of the storeB次元官网网址檚 patrons, many of whom are elderly, said staff member Sandy Stephenson. Seniors are considered at elevated risk of serious illness or death from the virus.

But for three days, the driver stayed there, moving his car often enough that he didnB次元官网网址檛 get ticketed for parking too long.

A Langley RCMP officer came and talked to the man on the third day, Stephenson said.

After that, he finally left.

From speaking with the RCMP, Stephenson said it appears the man believed his immune system was in good enough shape that he could have survived the virus, and he wanted to get it sooner rather than later.
