    This is horrible, horrible analysis that has no value on the topic. You are abusing math to meet your emotional belief system.

    Lets get to the stat that matters :

    Deaths per million due to Covid Canada : 1353 US : 3450

    I could also again bring up life expectancies in Canada vs the US, That rather damning fact is inconvenient for Americans who seem to think they have superior medical care then Canada.

    You've misrepresented the reality here so there isn't much value in what you are posting on this topic.

    Wasn't there something at some point that warmer temps and getting outdoors in sun that you absorbed vitamin d which helps "protect" against Covid?

    Not sure though but if that is the case, medically it might explain some of the difference in outcome rates - Canada obviously being further up in Northern Hemisphere.

    By your method of analysis, Africa has a healthcare system miles ahead of either of these two losers, and on a per dollar basis, it's gotta be light years ahead!

    I'm not trying to say healthcare is better in the U.S. than in Canada but, the statistics you and I posted are both accurate. The outcome of about one percent of COVID cases in the U.S. and Canada is death with Canada's being worse.

    Deaths per capita isn't the only statistic that matters.

    It's a possibility.

    Not at all what my "analysis" says. But you believe what you want. As I used to say to "Jem" you earned your medical costs by your belief system. Canadians took a better route on this many decades ago and the US is still struggling to figure this out.

    No I haven't, there are many non-medical factors that go into Covid death rates, and you didn't address any.
