All he'd have to say is that the numbers speak for themselves. U.S. has 10X as many people as Canada. U.S. has 35X the deaths. That will say who is prepared and who is not.

It is 270 vs. 9,100
That's whataboutism Shack. My question to him was about how Trudeau would answer the question . I agree their numbers will probably be worse but the rate of deaths doesn't have anything to do with being prepared unless you run out of vents. The rate of infection is the determining factor of who was prepared and who wasn't. Once you get it there are a variety of factors as to whether you die or not. Previous health, age, underlying conditions. The U.S will have more die because Canadians are much healthier than Americans. They are one of the few countries where their life expectancy is going lower where as most countries are going higher. Now if you want to compare the rate of infections as it pertains to being prepared this is fair.

And I said what Trudeau's answer could be. He could just say "Look at the numbers". They tell the story.

The speed of enacting social distancing is one of the biggest factors into infection rates.

Reality check for the OP, the Pentagon 'war games' all sorts of contingencies. They likely have many on the ridiculous possibility of an alien invasion.
