I just took a look at recent covid statistics, and it is both amazing and horrifying to see how much worse the situation is in the US vs. Canada. For example, below are the new covid cases which were reported yesterday (Tuesday July 7th) in different jurisdictions. (note that different sources give slightly different statistics):
60,021 - United States (8.8x the population of Canada) 30x
8,631 - California (1.05x the population of Canada) 35x
7,347 - Florida (0.6x the population of Canada) 50x
1,010 - Orange County, California (0.085x the population of Canada) 50x
361 - Orange County, Florida (0.037x the population of Canada) 40x
232 - Canada
The number in RED gives an indication of how much worse the jurisdiction is doing when compared to Canada, taking into account population size.
It would be crazy for Canada to open up the border with the US under the current circumstances. Trudeau is setting a good example for Canadians by refusing to travel to Washington today for the "new NAFTA" celebration.
Although the opening of Disneyland has been indefinitely delayed, it appears Disney World will be opening as scheduled in three days time. Not the wisest course of action that Disney could take...
