Canada crushed the Covid-19 curve but complacency is fueling a deadly second wave



Ottawa (CNN)

"At least we're not as bad as the States."

Those were the words uttered by so many Canadians during the first wave of coronavirus, perhaps without malice although with a good dose of smugness.


But that complacency may have helped fuel a deadly second wave in Canada that is now straining hospital capacity in nearly every region of the country as health officials impose more restrictions and lockdowns.

"What you're saying is we're better than the worst country in the world," says Amir Attaran, an American-raised Canadian professor of law and public health at the University of Ottawa during an interview with CNN.

For months, Attaran has been an unsparing critic, warning that by measuring itself against an American yardstick, Canada's Covid-19 response was bound to falter.
And falter it has.

"Over the last few days, we've seen new records of Covid-19 cases in a number of provinces. Hospitalizations are rising, families are losing people and our most vulnerable are at risk. Just because we're getting closer to vaccines doesn't mean we can afford to become complacent," warned Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau during a press conference Monday.

So, what went wrong?
"You need to drive community transmission to almost nothing or near nothing and then do the aggressive testing contact tracing and isolation which we never did," says Attaran.
During the first wave of Covid-19 Canadians were mostly compliant, cautious and serious about staying home, masking up and following orders issued by earnest public health officials. And the pandemic was rarely politicized.
But in early fall, Canadian public health officials warned that private, household gatherings were fueling a surge in cases and community transmission.
Then, Canadian Thanksgiving in early October seemed to seal the country's fate as infection rates surged for weeks afterwards.

Canada's numbers are heading in the wrong direction


Canada has logged record new cases and deaths from the coronavirus in the past month, according to Covid-19 tracking data from Johns Hopkins University.
The country has reported more than 425,000 cases of Covid-19 and nearly 12,800 deaths to date, according to Johns Hopkins.
New daily cases are now 10 times higher than they were in late summer with deaths averaging about 88 per day now, according to Canada's Public Health Agency.

Lack of adequate testing


For weeks now Canada's public health agency has reported that, on average, about 75,000 Canadians are being tested daily. That means Canada is testing at about half the rate, per capita, than the US.
Public health experts say Canada must be more aggressive with testing in order to bring down community transmission and detect asymptomatic spread.
According to a report released Monday by one of Canada's largest long-term care operators, that lack of testing has tragically allowed the virus to stalk and kill residents of nursing and retirement homes in Canada.

It is definitely trending in the wrong direction, no doubt about it.
This may be pure coincidence but the four provinces hardest hit all currently have right wing governments. Who's to say if that is a contributing factor or not.

'Historic moment': Health Canada approves Pfizer COVID-19 vaccine

Health Canada has approved the Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 vaccine for use in this country, and the first doses could be administered as early as next week. It's a critical moment in Canada's fight against the novel coronavirus, as it is the first vaccine to receive the green light.

CTV News | Canada News | Top Stories

.... 35,000 doses are to be delivered this Friday. Canada becomes the 2nd nation in the world to receive the Pfizer vaccine behind the UK.

https://www.ctvnews.ca/

Health officials hope to have 80% of the population vaccinated by Sept 2021.

Canada expects to complete vaccinations by the end of 2021, the government said in a document. That will depend on approval of other vaccines; the country of 38 million people has secured 20 million doses of the Pfizer-BioNTech shot.

Provinces are set to receive a share of the product reflecting their population size. Northern territories, however, will wait for the approval of Moderna’s vaccine, which comes with less-onerous logistical requirements, according to federal authorities.

The Pfizer vaccine is currently approved for adults over the age of 16 as clinical tests for children continue. The company applied for approval on October 9, according to Health Canada.

It is hard to understand why the news media is so panicked about COVID19 deaths. According to the CDC COVID19 has only accounted for less than 10% of the deaths in the US this year since February. COVID-19 Deaths by Age | The Heritage Foundation

hard to understand?

hell,
they tried:

stormygate

russiagate

ukrainegate

tax records

election fraud

the mueller report

all to no avail.

they have to try and panic the masses because Covid has a 99.7% recovery rate.

why you ask?

to CONTROL the masses. To discredit a sitting POTUS. They started to shake when trump announced that he was going to drain the swamp and

they are afraid they will lose their meal ticket and $12/qt icecream. They know if too much of the underhanded crap they've been pulling

someone(s) will be heading to jail. Thanks to the DOJ hangings are back on the table for punishment. They should set up a gallows like they did for the Lincoln assassination, I'd buy tickets to be there and witness that in person.

How's Canada doing on the Covid front? Doesn't sound like you're doing worth a damn despite your claims that your Citizens are following the rules. Does it make you feel better to compare Canada to the USA?
