Or you could look at it by death rate.
20k deaths in Canada/783k cases = 2.5%
441k deaths in USA/26M cases = 1.7%
352 deaths in JA/15.8k cases = 2.2%

Lots of numbers being thrown around. Here in Illinois, our top doc said from the beginning that if you died with COVID (eg, motorcycle accident) you would be counted as a COVID death even if you did not die from COVID. Not sure how other States, Canada or Jamaica is counting.

I don’t understand why Canadians would expose themselves to the higher number of cases and mortality rates by flying through the US and having layovers in several crowded airports. I’d love to be in Jamaica now but I wouldn’t want to pick up the virus on the way down and pass it on to the locals. Just my thoughts.
