Canadians 7X more likely to die from influenza than COVID-19

Each year in Canada, it is estimated that influenza causes approximately:
  • 12,200 hospitalizations
  • 3,500 deaths
The above comes from this Government of Canada website. That means, in a normal, non-pandemic flu season, non-newsworthy influenza kills about nine people per day. 

If we were to pro-rate those deaths to the actual flu season, the deaths per day would be somewhere between 20 -30.

As of two minutes ago, Canada's death toll from Covid-19 stands at 20. The first death occurred on March 8. That's 1.34 deaths per day. 

Unlike influenza, though, this "pandemic" has caused us to lock down the country.

General Vance stood in front of the cameras and microphones the other day and predicted that COVID could sweep over us in multiple waves over the coming year. Maybe it will, maybe it won't, but based on the actual facts we have available, COVID-19 has a lot of catching up to do.

The experts telling you that COVID is nothing like the flu are correct. The flu is much more likely to kill you.

We're being bamboozled.
