Quebec Covid-19 Compared

Which group does Quebec sit close to?

Sweden took an enlightened and realistic approach but is a pariah for some reason.

New York took decisions, despite information advising against it, and ended up a mess but Cuomo is seen as a leader.

2020. The rise of the sheep and useful idiots.

Let's compare countries and cities with Quebec.

Quebec: 56 859 cases 5636 deaths as of July 15. 6768 cases per million. 671 deaths per million.

Sweden: 76 492 and 5572. 7572 per million cases and 552 death per million. 

South Dakota: 7652 and 111 deaths. 8656 cases and 128 deaths.

Georgia: 12 364 and 262. 

What do you notice?

Those three places had lower deaths. True, there were less cases in Quebec but that's not a meaningful statistic. The point is the difference in that data point in Quebec's favour evaporates and disintegrates by the simple fact it locked down and thus, will and is dealing with the serious unintended consequences of those actions.

The Netherlands only requires masks on public transportation and 1.5 meter distancing for the rest. 

Their numbers: 51 725; 6136;  3018; 358.

Lockdown states:

New York: 433 063 (cases); 32 550 (total deaths); 22 261 (cases per million); 1673 (deaths per million).

New Jersey: 182 936; 15 776l; 20 596; 1776

Massachusetts: 113 238; 8419; 16 429; 1221

Illinois 161 785; 12 767; 591

Pennsylvania:  104 780; 7079; 8185; 553

Connecticut: 47 893; 4396; 13 433; 1233

California: 375 376; 7613;  9500; 193

Misery loves company.

Quebec loves missy. Notice we're closer in line with those (ahem, Democrat run) states than the places up top.

Now the province, as if this isn't bad enough, decides to double down on the stupid with their illegal mask mandates.
