This is the beginning not the end. If we can control it well enough that people don't die from lack of respirators we will be doing very well.
Remember this is just tested cases and the testing is way behind.
https://www.worldometers.info/coronavirus/
It can be sorted by total cases, new cases, total deaths, new deaths, total recovered, active cases, critical cases and total cases per million,
Right now per million is
- Canada 21
- USA 35
- UK 48
- Italy 679
- China 56
It arrived in Canada later so we may catch up, hopefully not to Italy.
Deaths: Canada, 10 USA 171
USA is roughly 9 times that of Canada so if we were even Canada would have 90 deaths. We may well catch up to the US but if the Canadian system holds up better Americans are going to be pissed.
Missing in the above is the number tested as the number of cases is a function of the number tested. So percentage of cases of the number tested gives a better idea of the outbreak than comparing cases by pop between countries with different depths of testing.
