Canada's daily deaths are < 5% of when it was peak like the tail end of a bell curve. vs USA still on their 2nd wave at about 33% of their max daily death rate. Total CV19 deaths CDN = 9k projected to 10.4k Dec 1 USA = 165k and projected to 300K Dec 1 That should help Biden get in. https://covid19.healthdata.org/united-states-of-america

Proving that something is obvious can take quite a while, and collecting enough data about what is going on to make the process obvious isn't quick. It's called science, and John Larkin doesn't seem to know much about it. -- Bill Sloman, Sydney
