that 4.5% death rate in quebec is a higher number than can be calculated by naively dividing out the number of deaths by the number of actual found cases in the united states, which is roughly 3%.

so, i don't expect those results to hold up.

really, if i didn't know any better, i might think there's been an attempt to fit the data to naive who numbers, and an attempt to downplay any regional spread.

and, to be clear: i wouldn't trust the canadian government to tell me the time of day when we're standing directly below the peace tower. they have a history of just rank dishonesty, especially in times of crises. truth is malleable to a greater cause. and, if i didn't know better, i might think that's exactly what it's all about.

so, i'll wait for some independent analysis.

but, what have we sacrificed all of this for, if we're no closer to ending it? what have we gained, in all of this misery, if the end result is one of the highest death rates in the world, and no immunity to show for it?
