Ontario, Canada: second largest province, covering more than one million square kilometres (415,000 square miles) - an area larger than France and Spain combined. With a population of more than 13.5 million, Ontario is home to more than 1 in 3 Canadians.
Ontario currently has 145 COVID-19 cases 304 in all of Canada:
Just as a comparison, New York City - much less population, but a much smaller geographic area - has 329. Total for NY State is 729.
The last stats I saw for cases versus deaths was 150,000/5000 which is a .03 mortality rate. The problem is the shape of the above curve. When you hear "flattening the curve" now you can understand what they are trying to accomplish: containment. Give scientists the chance to come up with antivirals and a cure. If we look at H1N1 it took 8 months to discovery a cure: April 2009 to December 2009.
The flatter we make the curve the more people will not only recover but also not become infected or die.
