"The crisis has taken a "devastating toll" on teenagers and young adults...Many are losing hope for the future because of a disrupted education, a shrinking jobs market and isolation from their friends and loved ones."

"The impact on people not in work, education or training was even worse, as 40 per cent said they felt "unable to cope with life" and 48 per cent "can't see an end" to their unemployment."

"A major Oxford University study, published on Tuesday, also shows that stress and depression among parents increased during the last lockdown, with researchers warning about the strains of home-schooling."

Canada - The average age of a death by or with covid-19 is higher than life expectancy.

Deaths among those over 80 account for 70.4% of deaths by/with covid-19, but only 51.1% of all deaths (all causes) in 2019.

If you are under 70, your risk of dying after being infected with SARS-CoV-2 is lower than your annual risk of death.

If you are over 70, your risk of dying after being infected is slightly higher than your annual risk of death.

Canada – Case survival rates (= 100% - case fatality rate) by age.

#COVID19Ontario

Weekly all-cause deaths and deaths with/from Covid-19 in Ontario, including % of deaths attributed to Covid-19.

It's ok to change your mind about lockdowns.

Countries like Japan show that it's possible to combat a virus without compromising civil rights.

"Japan attracted world notice for neither imposing a lockdown nor obsessively testing asymptomatic people."

japantimes.co.jp/opinion/2021/0…

"COVID-19 accounted for only 0.3% of all deaths. There were seven times as many suicides and 40 times as many flu and pneumonia deaths."

"Japanese shouldn’t take Western criticism too seriously. The mainstream media has been on a mission to cheerlead the lockdown narrative."
