Coronavirus: Here’s where Canada is on the curve
Reading now: 813
As of Wednesday, Canada has 569 known cases of the novel coronavirus, or about 1.5 per 100,000. That, more or less, is where Italy was three weeks or so ago, in the last week of February.
Italy at that point had had 10 deaths, while Canada now has eight. In late February, it would be fair to say that Italy was roughly as affected as Canada is now.
Theatres closed, school and university closures had happened but weren’t affecting the whole country, and people in the worst-hit regions were asked to go into voluntary isolation.
Does Italy’s trajectory offer a template for what we should expect in Canada? We should hope not, since their national death toll has now passed 2,500, and the country now has over 30,000 known infections.
