Chief Public Health Officer Theresa Tam responds to a question during a news conference in Ottawa on April 2, 2020.
OTTAWA — With strong control measures, the federal public health agency projects that 11,000 to 22,000 Canadians could die of COVID-19 in the coming months. The Public Health Agency of Canada says short-term estimates are more reliable, and it anticipates 500 to 700 deaths by the end of next week. The agency released modelling data this morning with different possible scenarios, warning that what happens depends very much on how Canadians behave to keep the respiratory illness from spreading.
UPDATE: the federal public health agency currently projects 4,400 to 44,000 Canadians could die of COVID-19 in the coming months.

3M mask deal achieved by emphasizing interdependence of Canada, U.S.: FreelandCanadian officials convinced the U.S. administration to back off on blocking shipments of medical face masks to Canada by emphasizing the interdependence of the two countries, Deputy Prime Minister Chrystia Freeland said Tuesday. After 3M got caught selling off their manufacturing floor and pushing orders back the PR machine kicked in. The only politician that clamped down was Trump. The rest tried to blame him.
