Canada, with its disciplined populace, supportive governments and excellent centralized health-care systems remains one of the best in class

In a bleak world, Canadians are luckier than most, according to a snapshot of global statistics released this week by the website Worldometer. The stats show that, so far, Canada has fared comparatively well throughout this pandemic, thanks to the fact that the country is organized, its people are disciplined and its health-care system is among the best in the world.

These figures are not static and will increase daily until a vaccine is found, which is most likely at least 12 months away. The good news is that there appears to be 20 or so promising compounds and experiments underway that are repurposing existing drugs that have been found to be effective at fighting other diseases. This may speed up the discovery of an effective treatment.

Companies and countries are now racing to produce millions of test kits that are capable of accurately and quickly diagnosing the disease. Concerns that this disease can be incubated for some time means that re-testing must also be part of the process. To undertake this, many countries have established thousands of test sites outdoors behind folding screens, or in parking lots or drug stores. The good news is that the vast majority of those who test positive recover without hospitalization.

Surely any possible and questionable better results for Canada are not related to Dr Tam who suggested that travel bans from infected countries are racist and cause stigma and who told us repeatedly until mid March that Canada is at very low risk. Get rid of her

The pandemic hasn't ended yet and you already claiming victory?

How do you figure?

. Only 12 countries have more cases than Canada. 74 countries are listed.62 countries have less cases than Canada, only 12 have more. Better than most? Must be a relative word? 🤔 Scroll down link for table by country infected and deaths: .

Lies, it's all lies to appease your minds.

Evil of many, consolation of fools.

Where is this idea from? The current situation is because (1) Canada‘s population density is much less compared to many European countries (2) the outbreak is later than other countries...

Pardon me

Quebec has the highest deaths rate in Canada , majority of them the elderly in long term facilities, Quebec is also the main proponent of assisted suicide

Parroting Trudeau? JustinTrudeau

But our population density is so much lower

Flu season over with sun closer to earth, nothing they did helped, no way to quantify any of this except grand standing and propaganda for control and climate bangers for IN hacks imo

Despite the federal health officer. Provinces are saving this country!

When is Canada going to become China’s colony

ThanksTrudeau
