Over 3 million cases in the U.S. only about half resolved.

At the current mortality rate of 9%, we will have about 300,000 deaths even if not one more case occurs.

NHL has announced some sort of season restart in August in a couple of Canadian hub cities.

I can't believe that anyone would care to watch NHL hockey. On TV. In August.

It seems to be somewhat tone deaf to me.

More bad news on the COVID front.

Nearly 72,000 new cases of COVID, by far and away the highest number of cases. At this rate, America could hit the 100,000 mark by the end of the month.

The fatality rate has averaged nearly 900 deaths/day, for the past few days, after declining since mid April. This is the highest daily fatality rate in one month.

Worldwide, countries like Brazil, India, South Africa, Mexico, Colombia, Argentina, Saudi Arabia, Pakistan, Bangladesh, and Iraq all have seen a dramatic rise in cases, and all have over 2500 new cases/day.

Canada finished the day with only 320 new cases, and the number of active cases has been falling since the end of May.

COVID-19 in Racial and Ethnic Minority Groups
Updated June 25, 2020

Long-standing systemic health and social inequities have put some members of racial and ethnic minority groups at increased risk of getting COVID-19 or experiencing severe illness, regardless of age. Among some racial and ethnic minority groups, including non-Hispanic black persons, Hispanics and Latinos, and American Indians/Alaska Natives, evidence points to higher rates of hospitalization or death from COVID-19 than among non-Hispanic white persons. As of June 12, 2020, age-adjusted hospitalization rates are highest among non-Hispanic American Indian or Alaska Native and non-Hispanic black persons, followed by Hispanic or Latino persons.

Non-Hispanic American Indian or Alaska Native persons have a rate approximately 5 times that of non-Hispanic white persons,
non-Hispanic black persons have a rate approximately 5 times that of non-Hispanic white persons,
Hispanic or Latino persons have a rate approximately 4 times that of non-Hispanic white persons.

COVID is hitting the Native American and Black communities much harder than White or Asian communities.

Somehow I don’t think that was the demographic he was looking for . And your article is no longer current in a fast changing pandemic .

Regardless of deception and downplaying the severity of the COVID outbreak....


Holding innocent Canadians as political prisoners, and hoarding PPE taken from other countries (who in turn develop severe shortages), and then selling it at inflated prices is enough to realize that it may be best in future if Canada, and others did business with other countries instead.
