The news report I read earlier today said:


\"From 1999 through 2003, the cases were largely restricted to Vancouver Island,\" the report reads.

\"Between 2003 and 2006, the outbreak expanded into neighboring mainland British Columbia and then into Washington and Oregon from 2005 to 2009. Based on this historical trajectory of expansion, the outbreak may continue to expand into the neighboring region of Northern California, and possibly further.\"
