As the drumbeat for more restrictions gets incessantly louder, it might be a good time to check out these graphs from the World Health Organization.
Sure enough, cases are indeed surging, from 2,667 the week ending August 10, to 8,545 the week ending September 21. That's over a 300% surge, and that's the number people use who want to scare the crap out of you.
Meanwhile, what does the death graph say? It's basically been a flat line since the middle of July, averaging under 50 deaths per week. Canada would expect 5,500-5,600 deaths per week from all causes this year had Covid-19 never happened.
<50 /5,500 is statistically irrelevant. It is bupkis, my friends. It's a teensy-weensy nothing-burger.
Which is why people who want to scare you whack you across the face with those surging case numbers every chance they get...
OH MY GAWD WE GOTTA SHUT 'ER DOWN AGAIN!!!
