also take into account that people dying(younger ones too) of complications caused by Covid, are not being counted as Covid related deaths. The numbers(both recovered and dead) are probably a lot higher as well, since certain governments have been known to fudge the numbers to make their countries look better(like China as an example). Even Florida(no surprise) was caught lying about their numbers last year.

This is opposite. Hospitals are paid for Covid deaths. Thus they stamp anything they can with that tag.

You can't use data from pandemics that have run their course and compare them to ones that are still in their infancy.

They're trying to prevent getting into a spanish flu type of situation.

Ebola for example has killed very few people, but has killed roughly 2/3's of people that have been ill with it.

A death rate would be people that have died vs people that have caught it.

Wait, is Lordy comparing how many people have died against the total population of the planet at the time? That's one of the stupidest COVID takes on the site, and that's saying something.

Lordy, we know you don't like math and projections and percentages, so just stay away from them completely

Hopefully the team brings this kind of hate tonight and throws a few hits.

Not true. Canadian hospitals are funded based on the number of patients treated not number of deaths.

Chris Tanev has 126 career points vs QH's 84.

Therefore, he's a much better offensive dman.

Canada population: 37.6 mil

Yearly Canada deaths due to...:

- Drunk driving (1,500) = 0.00004 = laughable, let people drink and drive! Impeding freedom of movement!
- Cancer (83,000) = 0.0022 = laughable, let kids smoke again! We can all choose.
- Excessive speeding (800) = 0.00002 = laughable, why are there even speed limits??
- Drugs (3000) = 0.00008 = laughable, why are we restricting the drug business?

The defence could use someone who hits.

How come Rathbone isn't getting a chance? Why the (frank) did they call him up to have him sit in the press box again?

What is wrong with the thinking of this organization?

That's not how the death/survival rate is calculated you simpleton.

You can't compare how many people have died from something to the ENTIRE WORLD POPULATION. It's how many people have recovered from it + how many people have died from it / how many people have died from it.

You've just calculated how many people have died from it worldwide SO FAR. Your number will only increase as more people get it, and more people die.

68% of deaths are people aged 80 or over. 89% are 70 or over. It’s really easy to look this sh!t up Minny. Also, life expectancy in Canada is 80. Soooo....

Was talking about US hospitals. Hadn't looked up ours, but they do get paid more. If you think money isn't enough incentive .......

It’s standard for Medicare to pay a hospital roughly three times as much for a patient who goes on a ventilator, as for one who doesn’t.

Medicare is paying a 20% add-on to its regular hospital payments for the treatment of COVID-19 victims. That’s a result of a federal stimulus law.

Ted Nugent after claiming covid was a hoax now has covid and can't get out of bed.

“I have had flu symptoms for the last 10 days and I thought I was dying, just a clusterf***,” he said.
