AJCts411 stated that Canada is worse off than the US - not sure where that came from by as far as Average daily positives, per million, compared to the US States, there are 43 US States (as of today) that are ahead of the FIRST Canadian Province. #1 is North Dakota at 1,352 per million, #43 is New York at 319.6 per million... and ONLY then does the first Canadian province appear, Alberta, at 296.3 per million. The Province of Quebec at #49 has only 146 per million, while California, about the same population, has 346 per million. No - Canada's stats are far better than the US. But - it is NOT a competition. It is how the HUMAN population participates to aid other humans and to overcome this virus. Millions are doing their part, but, sadly, millions are not because they have politicized this by making what is required a contravention of their civil liberties. Civil liberties? You won't have any when you are dead!Although I do think in Canada the virus has been a little less politicized than in the states we are far from perfect. Alberta (my province) now has numbers as high as Ontario which has 3 times the population. Because of the high numbers I saw no one other than people in my household for my birthday. I have cancelled trips since March but actually managed to visit a few Canadian timeshares (all drivable) in the summer when numbers were low. Mainly cooked or ate outside if we went out. I have seen a few friends usually outside and one week between seeing other people in case there is a problem. I have not seen my husband's family since February. The siblings have been together (always masked) to try and sort the contents of their mother's house so it can be sold. I do teach (at a very small private school) so I go out every day but have been attempting less stops for groceries or anything else. With the numbers as high as they are the only activities we will be partaking in will be outside. The good news is both of my adult children live at home.
Stay safe everyone
