The most positive spin possible was put on Canada’s performance, with one graph showing how Canada had \u0027flattened the curve sooner than a number of countries such as the U.K., Italy and the U.S\u0027

“After a very challenging spring, things are continuing to move in the right direction,” he said, pointing to the progress in the number of cases, hospitalization and deaths.

The new model suggests that the number of deaths might climb as high as 8,865 by July 12, from the current 8,522, and cases could rise to 108,130 from the present 103,250. But emphasis was placed firmly on the “steady decline” in the number of new cases, deaths, hospitalizations and critical care cases. The effective reproduction number has been less than one for eight weeks, an indication the epidemic is under control.

But when compared to countries that have coped well with COVID, the performance looks less impressive. Canada’s death rate per 100,000 people is double that of peer countries such as Germany, Denmark and Norway. Even when held up against the U.S., Canada is not unimpeachable — 8.3 per cent of all cases resulted in death in Canada, compared to a 4.9-per-cent case-fatality rate in the States.

Make up your mind....

Justin. Definition of sociopathic narcissism.
