Title: American COVID death rate once 3.6 times higher than Canada now about the same
Post by: Anonymous on May 06, 2020, 06:17:31 PM
The problem was New York and it's idiotic progtard mayor who told people as late as March 10 not to worry about the coronavirus. Now that the worst hit city in the world is on the downside of the curve, Canada and the US death rates are about the same.


QuoteIn March, Americans were dying from COVID-19 at a per-capita rate 3.6 times higher than that of Canadians. In the first half of April, it was 3.1 times. It was 1.7 times in the last half of April. In early May, death rates have been similar.

Without the Big Apple, the Canada-U.S. gap looks very different. Nearly half the difference disappears. Move beyond the suburbs of New York, and the Canada-U.S. death rates are even closer.



In fact, the death rate from COVID-19 is nearly identical between Canada and the 47 U.S. states that do not include a New York City suburb, based on state- and county-level data compiled by the site Worldometer.



What's beyond dispute is that New York was clobbered by COVID-19, and one of its defining attributes — crowding — played a role.



New York has no rival in Canada when it comes to population density, which epidemiologists identify as a contributing risk. It has twice the density of Vancouver, Canada's most-crowded city.



Every weekday, 5.4 million people cram into New York's subway system, pushing its metal turnstiles and filling its cars, with a rail ridership more than six times that of Toronto's subway and streetcar system.

USA Deaths per 1 mil Pop = 224



Canada Deaths per 1 mil pop = 112



Equal? I don't think so.

Cramming people is a HUGE proplem... especially dormitories and backpacker hostels.



And the poorer you are the more the more you seek shared accommodation.

Obviously caskur didn't read the article. And I get it. Take NYC out of the picture and our death tally is similar to the USA. The death rate is dropping in NYC and because of that Canada and the US numbers are looking not much different.



And there is no need for the insults. Take that third grade crap to Rejected.

There is no city in North America as congested as NYC. It skewed the American numbers. Now. Montreal is becoming one of this continent's hotspots, and it's primarily senior' centres, so it's possible the death rate in Canada could surpass the the US for the coming few weeks. These things are not static, they are in flux.

I have been keeping a chart on Canada, my BC, US (total) WAS State & Sweden



Above promoted me to list ON & PQ



WOW. I knew Ontario was bad, but Quebec with less population is skyrocketing .. nearly double ON in deaths and cases without factoring populations in



ON = 13.6m 18,700 cases, 1,500 deaths, (way too many from a totally broken Elder Care system also)

PQ  = 08.2m 35,000 cases, 2,500 deaths,  (I hear also way too many from a totally broken Elder Care system also)  



Certainly density plays a huge role making both higher than rest of country, but the numbers are bad in ON & crazy in Quebec, so much so that it has to be management

I was aware that our delightful Dr. Bonnie Henry & her crew,

spotted it and acted way before any other anywhere in the world and  slowed it down cold



We  were first along with WA State to be hit hard .. thanks of course to so many Wuhan flights to Seattle and Vancouver .. but really jumped on it fast and did an exceptional job



5 Million people, 2,255 cases & 124 Fatalities ... including our surprise initial hit, a poorly managed care home where many got it and many died. Within hours the Province took it over and checked out every other home .. where there have been very few new cases .. and set protections for all citizens within the first 24 hours.

It can be done right. Every BC citizen is very fortunate



Sadly, most areas did not follow our lead



We are doing well and plans to open piecemeal start today.



Alberta, smaller than us has  almost 3 X our cases  ... but are doing exceedingly well keeping people alive



Further - We, BC & WA, each had one Care Home heavy hit and moved quickly to protect it and ALL Care Homes .. extremely successfully



Thanks for prompting me - I dug into numbers and now realize that I and my daughter in Washington State are  very lucky compared to most if not all areas on a population basis





Which leads me to this question!!



If we (BC & WA) were struck much earlier than others, and quickly figured what to do about it ... Why didn't others figure it out .. and even smarter, talk with us to learn what we did and get a jump start on it that we did not have?

Like ... WHY?

Instead, they covered their ears .. and bumbled and fumbled day after depressing day as their people got sick and / or died



Meanwhile BC continues to do exceedingly well

Let's hope today's opening up starting in steps does not set us back too far

Take away those two massive beef plants and Alberta looks pretty similar to BC. They are mostly TFW's living a dozen to a small apartment in Calgary or Brooks. But, hey, it's an essential service.

Like Sweden, many of Ontario and Quebec's deaths are in elder care..



Those facilities should have been isolated from the beginning, not primary snd secondary schools.

Manhattan is the most densely populated borough in the USA..



So many people from the other boroughs as well as New Jersey commute there everyday swelling the population.



Manhattan has an estimated population of 1.63 million people, all living in an area of just 23 square miles. This gives Manhattan a population density of 70,826 people per square mile, or 27,346 per square kilometer. Manhattan is the most densely populated of the five NYC boroughs and also the most densely populated county in the United States. It is more dense than any city in the country and one of the most densely populated areas on earth.

And it's this density that turned NYC into the epicentre of COVID-19. That and inept ignorant leftist mayor(Bill De Blasio) who as late as the first week of March encouraged large gatherings.

Please include the stupid Governor of NY - He was a disaster



Just one of dozens of his screwups - Unbelievably he ordered covid active patients into Care Homes with all the expected happenings ... absolutely  horrific results numbering in the many 1000s



That single "seemingly impossible / absurd"  action played a big role in the numbers



Three states hit hard by the pandemic — New York, New Jersey and California — have ordered nursing homes and other long-term care facilities to accept coronavirus patients discharged from hospitals. The policy, intended to help clear in-demand hospital beds for sicker patients, has prompted sharp criticism from the nursing home industry, staff members and concerned families, as well as some leading public health experts.



"Nursing homes are working so hard to keep the virus out, and now we're going to be introducing new COVID-positive patients?" asked David Grabowski, a professor of health policy at Harvard Medical School. Instead, he believes that states should create COVID-only facilities for recovering patients discharged from hospitals.

Yes. Have seen in fact followed Brazil - a disaster, although it has a huge population (210 M)

I wonder if Rancid is OK... now I'm worried.



I don't know what he calls himself here.



He has a farm in Brazil... I hope he went and stayed on it.

Ugh... I lost my post and cannot capture in cache.



Rancid is a good friend of mine..



So is Reaper... they're both missing. Freud warned us here we will lose our e-friends to this virus. I'm hoping that was just rhetoric.



I better go check facebook.
