Yup, that pretty much sums it up.
Very fortunate here. Total active cases in manitoba is 16. 4 or 5 days with no new cases.
Total of 300 here. Quebec is 48,000. Plus. Our population is low, and lots of small communities,think thats why it didnt run away here.

Our county has a population of 567,000. 6341 cases and 536 deaths. Total death rate is 8.3% so far.

But that doesn’t tell the whole story. The township next to ours that is the same size of about 17k people has 437 cases and 118 deaths. That’s a 27% death rate. And it’s not being driven by nursing homes, only 14 deaths came from those.

Our township has 103 cases and only 2 deaths.

Point is, if you open large public gatherings, where to you think people are going to flock to there fastest from? Where it is safer or more dangerous?

This is why PA has held parts of the state in lock down even though they have fewer cases. The risk is that they will get a sudden influx of visitors trying to escape from places where it is far worse.

Reality is what it is...and it extends far beyond what most people can see within their immediate range of view.
