More fun with covid stats

Here's a fun fact to ponder. At the peak of first wave back in the spring, Canada was reporting about 1700 new covid cases per day. As of right now, the seven day moving average of new cases is around 8800. That's a 500%+ increase in cases.

Deaths, meanwhile, peaked at 176 per day in the spring. The seven day moving average stands at 157 as of right now. That's an increase of what?

What does that tell us about the pandemic?

And no, I don't believe that can be attributed to any alleged learning curve in how to deal with the virus. When you look at the slap-dash way the "experts" have been fashioning policy, such a claim beggars belief.

Speaking of experts, isn't it funny how many of them seem to believe that the rules they make for us do not apply to themselves? Maybe they know something we don't?

Anyway, the die is cast. More and tighter lock-downs are on the way. We gotta wrestle this demon to the ground don't you know...


Fat chance. The only way to beat this thing is if we all stop breathing for a couple of weeks. Anything less is bound to fail.
