Ontario - The proportion of cases (positive test results) resulting in death (yellow line). (Daily reported deaths divided by average daily cases over prior 28 days.)
Weekly all-cause deaths and deaths with/from Covid-19 in Ontario, 2010-2021 (subject to Statistics Canada reporting delay for all-cause deaths.)
Note: Covid-19 is often not a wholly distinct and separate cause of death as there are other medical conditions involved in many cases.
There are also cases in which it is not even a cause of death, but the individual had tested positive sometime prior to their death.
Ontario total weekly deaths Jan 2010-Jan 2021.
Covid-19 deaths per million by age cohort and for long-term care residents.
The 70+ age cohort accounts for 12% of the population of Ontario but 83% of deaths from or with Covid-19 and 73% of all-cause deaths.
Ontario – Cumulative case fatality rate (CFR). The proportion of cases (positive test results) resulting in death (yellow line). (Cumulative reported deaths divided by cumulative cases.)
Ontario – Case survival rates (= 100% - case fatality rate) by age.
(True survival rates based on IFR would be significantly higher.)
Daily new hospitalizations and cumulative case hospitalization rate (cumulative reported hospitalizations divided by cumulative cases.)
Ontario covid-19 cases, hospitalizations, deaths, and testing.
The number of hospitalizations linked to covid-19 in Ontario relative to historical benchmark levels for influenza and pneumonia.
A note on hospitalization data: This may include those who have had a positive test result after being hospitalized for a different reason.
Here we have the total number of deaths in Canada and its regions over the past ten years.
Here we have the same chart you saw above now expressed as a rate per 100,000 people. Generally, a flatter trend in death rates would suggest that population growth may be a key factor driving growth in total deaths.
Looking at the past decade nationally, we see that it's natural for deaths in one year to exceed deaths in the previous year (blue line > 0%). Note that a year of low or negative growth is often followed by a year of much higher growth.
