No, none at all. You do know how rates work?You think that might have something to do with the massively intrusive restrictions you hate having an impact?

CDC has already published reports that Influenza kills more than Covid

Scroll downThat link doesn't compare influenza to covid. Maybe they did compare them, but you need another link. It seems odd you would say this since the covid numbers are already higher than any flu year in the last 10 years. (And the best case scenario in the 5 parameters you linked to calls for many more deaths than the flu.)
Are you ok? Do you need to sit down?Its lower than that. Asymptomatic people aren't getting tested for the most part. Think about this, were testing about 0.1% of people, so 99.9% of the population aren't getting tested so 99.9% of the people who aren't dying but have covid aren't getting added to that calculation. Its more like 0.00000026%. Then if youre not over 80 or living in a LTC home its more like 0.00000000000000026%
They are approximations. Everyone has fake numbers at least im not pretending mine are real. The point is the chances of getting seriously ill are miniscule.Are you ok? Do you need to sit down?
Math seems to cause you distress.
Time to end this sham of a lockdown and get things opened up. Hopefully Ford and the "health table" can see that the number of deaths in Ontario are down substantially since Stage 1 started 2 weeks ago. It is now time to start Stage 2. Next Monday is when he ought to do it as if falls smack in the middle of his 2 to 4 week period of declining deaths. Using number of new cases is a stupid metric to base his decission on.There's certainly funny stuff going on with the numbers. That I am pretty sure about.
At the beginning of May, the U.S. was averaging about 2K-2.5K new deaths a day. Now they're down to 1K, and trending downward. Ontario's hospitalization rate has also declined, as well as their death rate, despite upticks on the confirmed amount of cases.
Yeah. I really don't know why officials and the media keep parroting the overall numbers when the general feeling is that they're meaningless. The more important metrics- hospitalization and deaths- are going down, so what are we waiting on?Time to end this sham of a lockdown and get things opened up.
