Which One Is The Real One?

Did the world react too slowly on COVID-19?  How did it (we) not know this would race throughout the world?

Well, an interesting article says it ain't always that easy.  Lots of dangerous health alerts pop up all the time around the world.  In fact, in December alone there were several.  On which one of these should the world have taken action;

• A herdsman infected with the pneumonic plague in Inner Mongolia, the fourth case in a few weeks.
• Three hundred cases of cryptosporidium infection in Sweden, causing gastrointestinal and respiratory issues.
• An Ebola epidemic in the Democratic Republic of Congo — 3,346 cases as of Dec. 15, 2019, two-thirds of them dead.
• A “pneumonia of unknown etiology” in Wuhan, China, on Dec. 30.

I'll take Door #4, Bob.

Sure, hindsight's 20/20.  We all dropped the ball on this one.

Anyway, on to yesterday's Canadian COVID stats, starting with new cases......

[As always, click on any graph to zoom in.]

One day does not a trend make (as evidenced by the red trend line) but at least going in the right direction.  But I won't be dusting off my patio shorts and flowered shirts just yet.


For deaths due to COVID-19.

Still trending int he wrong direction.  With again, almost 100 in Quebec and 50 in Ontario.

Wouldn't it be nice if we could just get away from it all.  Remember when.....

I'd love to be able to do laundry again......
