Fair enough, but without that data, people could very easily point to the higher case and death per capita total and say "See, masks and social distancing work." On its face, that doesn't look convincing.
No it doesn't. It has a lower death rate per case.
The rate per 100K is the second box below the big number: 65 for Canada, 131 for Sweden (or just over double.)
I know Canada's death rate will be higher partly because we are killing the most elderly! We have the worst long term care numbers out of all the richest countries. Since covid kills mainly those over 65, that's another factor in this chart I originally posted. https://www.cihi.ca/sites/default/files/document/impact-covid-19-long-term-care-canada-first-6-months-report-en.pdf I'm all for protecting the vulnerable to the extent they wish to be protected. Our health care systems sucks on a good day, with ICU's running at 90% at times without covid. https://secure.cihi.ca/free_products/ICU_Report_EN.pdf ( and more stats) http://www.hqontario.ca/Portals/0/Documents/pr/measuring-up-2018-en.pdf Government is fucking us left right and centre. Instead of lockdowns and CERB government should be bolstering hospitals and let things play out with reopening fully.
