OTTAWA - Canada’s coronavirus death toll is set to soar from the current 435 to as high as 22,000 by the end of the pandemic, health officials said on Thursday, while the economy lost a record 1 million jobs last month.
The officials said they expected between 500 and 700 people in Canada to die from the coronavirus by April 16. There have been 18,447 positive diagnoses so far. “While some of the numbers released today may seem stark, Canada’s modeling demonstrates that the country still has an opportunity to control the epidemic,” she said.Local governments across Canada have ordered non-essential businesses shut to combat the spread of the coronavirus, throwing millions out of work.
More than 5 million Canadians had applied for all forms of federal emergency unemployment help since March 15, government data showed on Thursday, suggesting the real jobless rate is closer to 25%.
Not that big a nation.
What they actually stated is that over FIVE million people have lost their jobs and applied for financial assistance. Not 1M.
Why do they have to soar. Why can't they just increase? This is serious but these doom and gloom headlines are brutal.
In these times to date, w/pandemic: Yesterday; ' Ontario's PremierFord, decreed the Indigenous Bands tobacco revenues, they depend on. As NonEssential.' He didn't decree that, for the rest of his province's, tobacco sales industry. ~ Contrary to his AntiGouging platform.
