      Huge crowds of alcohol-fuelled Halloween revellers gathered on Granville Street last night.

      Videos and photos on social media show a distinct lack of physical distancing between the celebrants.

      And it came after the provincial government had urged people not to party as a means to contain the spread of COVID-19.

      Naturally, this spontaneous effort to promote herd immunity led to a flurry of caustic comments over social media.

      You can read what people are saying below.

      So far, there's been no word from B.C.'s provincial health officer, Dr. Bonnie Henry.

      The next B.C. COVID-19 briefing is scheduled on Monday (November 2).
