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.)
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 82% 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.
"Purple Tongue Hot Sauce is the business we have started as a means to survive while we await the fate of our family business, “Ultimate Bingo”, located in North York, which was forced to close its doors in March, 2020."
"Sadly, we have not had the chance to reopen, and are at the mercy of the government who appears unwilling to help. During this time, we created this brand as a means to start something new while we continue to fight for the survival of our family business of 30+ years."
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.
2020/2021 seasonal comparison: Ontario and Québec covid-19 cases. Case counts higher in 2021 but timing of rises/declines is aligned between provinces and year-over-year.
2020/2021 seasonal comparison: Ontario and Québec covid-19 deaths. Deaths significantly lower in 2021 but timing of rises/declines is aligned between provinces and year-over-year.
2020/2021 seasonal comparison: Ontario and Québec covid-19 hospitalizations. Timing of rises/declines is aligned between provinces and year-over-year. Hospitalizations higher in 2021 than in 2020 in Ontario, but lower in Québec.
Since the Enlightenment, the philosophical foundation of Western civilization has been the idea that freedom is paramount and universal. The role of government is to maximize freedom and it is the right of all to enjoy freedom.
However, we accept specific and well-defined restrictions on freedom when doing so maximizes freedom overall. In a cost-benefit analysis, we may see that limiting some freedoms may actually increase overall freedoms at a societal level.
For example, my right to do as I please ends at your right to physical security and ownership of personal property. Being physically secure from others is the basis of personal freedom.
