Prince Edward Island currently has the highest number of new average daily cases, in all of North America, adjusted for population.

 

Probably the only ones still reporting covid cases!

Not sure but that number wouldn't mean much.

Well let’s hold on. Every year a MILLION snowbirds overwinter in the US, not including those who spend time in Mexico or elsewhere.

With huge numbers like that, there will be deaths abroad. But in 2020 and in 2021, the majority of them remained in Canada.

How many?  There are a lot of fluctuations for deaths over those years.  It will depend on where their address is listed apparently.

...the total number of COVID-related deaths on P.E.I. [is] 32...

32 is 0.0192387% of PEI's 166,331 inhabitants.

Yup, it's all a giant conspiracy because world economic forum and Bill Gates. Nobody died of covid and the vaccines are linking us all up to the cloud and that atrocity that Adolf committed either never happened or is being planned for all of humanity save for a select few depending on who you ask.

Try to keep up here, I believe it's a very low number when you talk about 300,000 dying on home soil...  I still think if a Canadian, with a Canadian address here would count as a Canadian death...

Yeah, I don’t think I’ve ever explored this question before.

Where’s Greg or shoeflack to set us straight?

Most if they were ill in any manner would rush home for the medical care.  I really think this number would be very low still but interesting to find out.  How many less deaths for traffic accidents in 2020?  I bet that number is more than the number who would've died abroad.

 

PS  Canadian Motor Vehicle Traffic Collision Statistics: 2020 (canada.ca)

 

  • In 2020, the number of motor vehicle fatalities was 1,745; down 1% from 2019 (1,762).
  • The number of serious injuries decreased to 7,868 in 2020; down 12% from 2019 (8,917).
  • The number of total injuries decreased to 101,572 in 2020; down 28% from 2019 (140,801).
  • The number of fatalities per 100,000 population decreased to 4.6 in 2020 (from 4.7 in 2019), and is the lowest on record.

This is weird, like people thought wearing masks in the car was like wearing a seatbelt..

 

  • 2020 saw a large increase in the percentage of occupants that were killed or seriously injured who were not wearing seatbelts. For example, 33.2% of driver fatalities were not wearing seatbelts, compared to 25.2% in 2019, which equates to a 32% increase.

Your words not mine. I just posted the article he wrote on the book.... But are you implying that has never done anything for the sake of his own gain?

Scientists question the point of swabs up everyone’s nose: ‘We might have overdone it’
'The claim was that (mass testing) would stop the pandemic in its tracks ... and it hasn't'

 

Japan avoided large-scale testing and yet weathered the pandemic relatively well, based on infection and death rates. 

 

In the last two years, Denmark’s population of 5.8 million logged more than 127 million rapid and PCR tests, all provided free. In total, Denmark spent more than 16 billion crowns ($2.36 billion) on testing

Testing is one thing, enforcement is another. If you test positive in most countries you are told to go home and self-isolate. I am sure most do but many don't and thus spread the virus anyways.

 

As an example I know of someone who tested positive the other day but then still went to a concert because he had tickets they he couldn't offload. Lots of good the testing did.
