The number of deaths from all causes in 2019 vs. number of deaths from or with Covid-19 in 2020-21.
The average age of a death by or with covid-19 is higher than life expectancy.

Deaths among those over 80 account for 69% of deaths by/with covid-19, but only 51% 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.

Interesting insights into the closed-minded thinking of Ontario Science Table (OST) members, via @dfisman.

From an anon source, here @dfisman is being asked whether we should be having a scientific discussion about lockdowns, masks, and the long-term plan.
In response even @dfisman admits that lockdowns are ineffective and have done significant damage to the economy, all without preventing people from needing the ICU.
Here @dfisman compares our current situation to the Spanish flu.

(Side note: no data suggesting that ICUs are/were under more pressure than in a normal year.)

[UPDATED] I suspect there's something artificial about Ontario's case numbers because they no longer match hospitalization and death trends, nor comparable trends in neighbouring Québec.

Ontario's "third wave" may have been engineered through PCR case counts.

Thread:
Charts demonstrating covid seasonality.

Neighbouring provinces of Ontario and Québec both peaked at virtually the same time. However, cases trending up again in Ontario - but not in Québec.
On the contrary, hospitalizations in both provinces are still trending downward in unison.
