@MrGregShea@KitchissippiEn1 Did you look at the stats I sent you ? It has wildfire stats for the last 24 years. What am I cherry picking ? Also in Canada of the 5 biggest wildfire seasons 4 are before 2000. Let’s see how next year goes. I’m hoping this is a one off freak year.
@MrGregShea@KitchissippiEn1 The stats are only updated as of July because August is not over but you knew that. The stats in August will not change the fact that this is one of the mildest forest fire seasons in 25 years in the US. Canada had a horrific year. How do you reconcile that ? That is my question
@deonandan Our analysis of change over time found that the global median IFR decreased by approximately 33% between April 15, 2020, and Jan 1, 2021, from 0·466% (IQR 0·223–0·840) to 0·314% (0·143–0·551).
@DGBassani Where we you on this when these visits were way below historical averages in all age groups up until late March? In Ontario we are still below pre pandemic levels for ages above 18 and most importantly 2 STD below for those over 65.
@margssister@DGBassani 7 day avg is 4 hospital admissions per day for this age group out of a population of 2 million kids. Chances are 1 in 500000 your kid is going to be admitted to hospital Today for respiratory illness. 43 kids are admitted to sick kids hospital every day.
@nilikm The great news is that there are only 3 kids in Sick kids Hospital for Covid, waste water covid numbers coming down and Respiratory virus hosp Admissions (including Covid) are now 3 STD below the historical averages pre covid. Things are looking promising vs last year.
@lisa_iannattone Covid-19 deaths constitute 2.3% of the 10 leading causes of death in this age group. 0-19. Kids are 9x more likely to die of an accident. 3.5x more likely to be murdered. How are you calling this a real threat ? Masks will not prevent you from getting Covid. Might delay it.
@AbbyMachines@lisa_iannattone Respiratory virus hosp admissions in Ontario are now well below historical pre Covid levels. All without mask mandates , without all the Davos precautions. We are looking good. Get out there and enjoy your lives. Don’t live in fear.
