Stats updated; still on decline since Oct 5

Case count also went down but that figure means far less since its impossible to test everyone
Deaths are really only figure that matters

Plus number of tests being carried out is down, makes sense number of infections is down

Seems the number of deaths per day is way down, imagine the average death rate from all causes has changed nothing since the start of covid. People seem to forget 800 people a day die in Canada. We are way to focused on the 20 or so a day that die who tested positive for covid.

COVID cases are going in the wrong direction...

Could not be more wrong then that.

Reducing number of death only means better treatment. Better knowledge about the virus. Maybe less virulent virus (which would be a good news). But it's far from the only figure that matters.

Contagion R rate is the most important figure. We need to bring it to R1. Unless we do that it will be a fucking mess no matter what.

There is no treatment (yet)
Virus is not decreasing in transmission

It's over
We just need Libs to accept the facts

Yes treatment as improve a lot. Treatment is not a vaccine. Treatment is the complete guidelines of how to treat someone that end's up in the hospital to until he get's out (hopefully).

Covid deaths would be 10X as many without the extreme safety measures used. So if 20/day have died, it would have been more like 200/day.

And if we started treating covid now as just another flu season then 20/day could quickly become 200/day.

Health authorities have foresight. Covidiots see no further than the end of their dickhead.

US: over 1,100 deaths per day.
Canada: averaging 20 deaths per day.

Seems we're doing something right.
Obviously reading statistics is not your strong suit lol

"1,100 deaths per day" vs "20 deaths per day"
Do you even know how an average works???

(I mean even basic math should show the joke here; 220,563 deaths / 234 days = 942 is their average, and that includes the massive spike from summer)

Canada 260 dead per million
USA 666 dead per million

They are 2.5 times as bad as we are

Nowhere near the absurd 1,100 to 20 = 55 time claim you make
Obviously, reading comprehension is not your strong suit. He did not say that the U.S. is averaging 1,100 deaths per day, but those are the daily totals that the U.S. has recently achieved. He DID say that Canada is averaging 20 deaths per day.

If the U.S. continues at that pace, the per capita difference would be 5.5X as many deaths in the U.S. And bragging that the U.S. is only 2.5X as bad is funny.
