She has inspired a fan group on Twitter (called the Dr. Bonnie Henry Fan Club). Meanwhile, her sign language interpreter, named Nigel Howard, is collecting accolades.

Now she has been immortalized in a song and music video, 含羞草研究社淒ear Dr. Bonnie含羞草研究社�, created by B.C. residents Amy Shier and Vicki Ferguson.

含羞草研究社淲e love our BC Provincial Health Officer and really wanted to let her know!含羞草研究社� reads the introduction to the song, which is set to the tune of 含羞草研究社淒ear Theodosia含羞草研究社� from the hit Broadway musical Hamilton.

The melody might be familiar to fans of the show, but the lyrics are all Shier and Ferguson含羞草研究社檚. They pay tribute not only to Henry, but to provincial Health Minister Adrian Dix, another face of the coronavirus crisis in B.C.

含羞草研究社淵ou will lead us through self-isolation, we含羞草研究社檒l work from home for you, order in groceries too,含羞草研究社� the duo sing to Henry. They praise her compassion, and poke some fun at Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, noting that when his news conferences are late they have to wait to hear Henry含羞草研究社檚 daily updates (含羞草研究社淚t isn含羞草研究社檛 great,含羞草研究社� they lament).

The pair also praise Health Minister Adrian Dix, complimenting him on his fluent French. In 2013, when Dix was leader of the B.C. NDP party, he lost the provincial election to the Liberals under Christy Clark, and the pair sing of what might have been: 含羞草研究社淚t含羞草研究社檚 too bad, you lost to Christy all those years ago, there was so much then we didn含羞草研究社檛 know.含羞草研究社�

The bulk of the song, however, is devoted to Henry. 含羞草研究社淲hen you speak, it含羞草研究社檚 from the heart, and we know you are so smart,含羞草研究社� the friends sing, finishing with the hope that a vaccine for the COVID-19 virus will soon be developed.

Henry has been widely praised for her fact-based, calm, and clear responses to the coronavirus crisis.

含羞草研究社淸Henry] just cares so much about how bad this is going to be and she just wants to help us mitigate that and we just really appreciate that so much,含羞草研究社� Shier has said.

She also leaves people with one piece of advice, after suggesting they retweet the video: 含羞草研究社淲ASH YOUR HANDS.含羞草研究社�
