Mexico mortality rate 5.6%

Peru                           5.9%

Yemen                       18.2%

 

Horrifying.

https://www.covid-19canada.com/

The mortality rate is strongly affected by the amount of testing (ie: number of confirmed cases). In Mexico, for example, they hardly ever tested anybody unless they were practically on death's door, so their positivity rate was always way high, as was their mortality rate.

 

What I consider more significant is the number of deaths per million in the population. At 2471 deaths/Million, Mexico has been hit pretty hard, while Italy for example was hit even harder with 2769/M but had a mortality rate of only 1.0% because they did large-scale testing.

Thanks.

Peru, even using that metric, is in trouble at 6299 per mill.

boo-fricking-hoo.  

Not that I feel sorry for her (I certainly don't) but if she's being truthful about driving to Ottawa from her home riding, that's quite the commute....

 

Yorkton to Winnipeg: 5 hours

Winnipeg to Thunder Bay: 8 hours

Thunder Bay to Sudbury: 11 hours

Sudbury to Ottawa: 5 hours

 

Considering gas prices, she should probably drive an electric, or a hybrid....but seeing as she's a Conservative from Saskatchewan, I'm guessing she probably drives a RAM 3500....

You'd figure that as a province who has unique interests compared to the rest of Confederation, and with a desire to have your leaders' words taken seriously, you'd try to ensure your Federal voter base was healthy and actually around to cast ballots, eh?  But no, gotta make sure people have der freedumbs, ja?  So cancel all health orders, remove all restrictions, and stick your g.d. head into the sand, as if it doesn't exist any more, ja?

Still averaging 40+ deaths per week over the last few weeks.  :sadno:

I've noticed that as well.  The hospitalizations have been slowly going down from close to 300 a few weeks ago to now just over 200.  Hopefully we start to see a slow drop in deaths as they tend to lag.

China COVID - Beijing, is experiencing a "strongly explosive" COVID-19 outbreak

  • A spokesperson for the Beijing municipal government with the "strongly explosive" comment.

Beijing has reintroduced a few minor restrictions (all off-campus and "offline" sports activities for teens would be cancelled starting Sunday). Earlier a spokesperson for the city's government said a recent outbreak "The recent outbreak … is strongly explosive in nature and widespread in scope". Which does not sound too good at all.

Even Chinese Communist Party controlled state media is sweating on the latest developments. On the Beijing outbreak referred to above:

 
 
  • The Global Times reporter learned that some districts in Chaoyang have been locked down for 10 days starting Saturday for being found related to the outbreak.

---

Shanghai appears to be back-pedalling a little too. Its China's largest city of around 25mn people and a key economic hub.

  • Authorities ordered PCR testing for all residents in 15 of Shanghai's 16 districts this weekend, and five districts barred residents from leaving home during the testing period.

Yikes, 5 of 25 districts locked down for the weekend. Its a roller-coaster (not the fun type) there.

There is no end in sight to China's COVID zero policy. President Xi Jinping with a motivational talk said:

  • “Persistence is victory, We must unswervingly adhere to the general policy of ‘dynamic clearing’, strengthen confidence, eliminate interference, overcome paralysing thoughts, pay close attention to the key tasks of epidemic prevention and control, and resolutely consolidate the hard-won results of epidemic prevention and control.”

And when people are “locked down” in China they are actually “locked down”.  Not like here, where the freedumb dumbasses felt they were locked down and their rights were infringed upon.

Lockdown, pffft.

These guys will weld your door shut to keep you in, so 'lock down' isn't quite descriptive enough a word.
