Thank you to our Canadian friends!

After seeing these numbers in another post:

“A more reliable stat is the mortality rate. Based on per million, the USA is at 1344 per million. Canada is at 521 per million. Jamaica is at 116 per million. Jamaica is over ten times safer than the USA and almost exactly 5 times safer than Canada.

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.

The article I posted pretty much explains the thought process. But a couple things you need to keep in mind. First, the mortality rate stats are rarely if ever quoted in the mainstream media. So people are being kept in the dark about the facts. And now everyone is being tested for Covid on international flights, so Canadians are essentially travelling with other pre-tested negative travelers.

And no airport is crowded at this time...

That makes sense Rob. I can see that the mortality rate isn’t indicative of the number of active cases. I thought the airports might be busy for interstate travel.
