Coronavirus

[LogGrad98]

Interesting graph comparing USA stats vs Canada's provinces in average daily cases per million. Only two of USA states are doing better than worse province in Canada.

COVID-19 in the U.S.: How do Canada's provinces rank against American states?

Looking at confirmed coronavirus cases per million people, how do the U.S. states compare to Canada's provinces and territories?

I wonder how much population density has to do with this?

Something for sure (though I imagine urbanization would be a better measure - eg Arizona isn't very dense technically, but very urban). You can certainly see it among US states where more rural states (Vermont/Maine/etc are doing better than the more urban ones).

Um @colton a word please?

Tracking the Coronavirus at U.S. Colleges and Universities (Published 2021)

College campuses, like the rest of the country, are enduring a coronavirus surge.

This pandemic is never going to end... sigh. Apparently this was organized by a BYU student. So I’d imagine cases are going to be spiking at both UVU and BYU over the next month.

Which leads me to, fat, old, unhealthy people on the verge of death, should not be the #1 priority. My wife, who's mom died at 45 8 years ago feels differently though, and I get that. I look at humans more in regards to nature, that sick and unhealthy will die and the healthy will be fine, I try not to be callous but that appears to be the reality of the situation.

Ontario and greater Toronto area is certainly more densely populated than North Dakota for example.

Even adjusted for population density we are seeing far more cases and far more death than we should. Canada has a better health care system. Canada has taken extensive measures To ensure health and safety, like supplying citizens and businesses with relief money that is actually sufficient. Unlike our unemployment benefits, which were a sick joke. They ask strict questions at the border, demand quarantining for 14 days upon entering, and have mask mandates that are strictly followed. Their citizenry by and large are working in a cohesive manner to contain the virus.

America on the other hand has millions of uninsured. Those most vulnerable and uninsured are dying at a much higher clip than those with health care. Americans have resisted efforts to mitigate the virus while demanding that states “open up.” Americans are demanding foot game return. and their prime minister isn’t holding rallies like this:

911 cases today. Cases have doubled in the past week.

Just nuts. Utah County 6x higher than the rest of the state.

My nephew tested positive today. He is 17 or 18. He has a sore throat and congestion and is a little lethargic.
