Home province British Columbia, Canada has a population of 5.1 million. Population of U.S. state Maryland is 6.06 million. As of today the total number of confirmed COVID-19 cases in B.C. is 2,659. Of that, 183 cases are considered active. 2,309 persons recovered, 167 died. Of the 183 active cases, only 16 are hospitalized, 4 of those in ICU. Compare home stats to those of Maryland – 58.404 confirmed cases, 2,776 deaths, 4,240 recovered. Even when taking 900,000 or so more Maryland residents into consideration, the difference is staggering.
Closer to home, ponder Washington State, population 7.1 million – 1,300 new cases over the weekend, compared to 29 in B.C. To date Washington state accounts for 24,401 confirmed infections, 1,161 deaths. And there’s impatience to open the border, why?
Total number of COVID-19 deaths in Canada is 7,835. New York state alone accounts for 30,374 of America’s 112,579 COVID-19 deaths. As more than 20 U.S. states report increased cases in the past 14 days, Canada maintains a sharp decrease. Still think the Canada/U.S. border should open? I think not!

Over the past 10 or 11 days, nearly half of the new cases are people in their 20s.
And that is very disconcerting.
… but not unexpected as restrictions lift. Apparently, wearing a face mask that covers the chin or mouth but leaves the nose alone PLUS gathering in close proximity for morally superior reasons is no better than being bathed in the blood of Jeeeezus as far as protection goes. Who could have known? Obviously, this virus refuses to be woke so we should ban/cancel it from the public domain. That will fix everything.
