The Hits Just Keep On Coming

Using the same chart format comparing cases & deaths per million population, not surprisingly, Quebec is having the toughest time of it.

[As always, click the graphs to zoom in.]

But to provide some perspective on the mortality rate, at least, here are some notables, in deaths per million population:

• USA                       25  (as context, Quebec is at 7)
• Canada                    5
• New York              182
• New York City       304   !!
• Italy                     254
• Spain                    251
• France                  116
• Iran                        41
• Sweden                  37   (experimenting with no social distancing)
• South Korea            3
• China                      2   (what's up with that?)

On to yesterday's Canadian stats......

New Cases

Almost 900 new cases in Quebec and almost 400 in Ontario.

For the mortality picture.....

Large numbers of deaths in Ontario continue (27), with a lot in long term case homes.

The trend charts look like we are essentially treading water. Which could be a lot worse.


So I don't often share pictures of myself, but in these uncertain times, I'll make an exception. Considering how this is taking a toll on all of us....
