Covid-19 by the numbers Ontario vs Florida, Texas and Nevada

As the province of Ontario begins to allow for a very small proportion of society to open up today, I believe it’s time to revisit the Covid-19 numbers in Florida, Texas and Nevada – all states that are open without restrictions and have been holding live indoor sporting events. Then, we will draw a comparison between the data sets and ask the question – is it still appropriate to be closed here in Canada?

Premier Kenney on why Alberta can’t be open like Texas or Florida

Despite what Mr. Kenney would have us believe, many of the states that have opened are doing just as well as the states who have remained more cautious and kept their restrictions in place. The Case fatality rate from Covid-19 is higher in the United States in general so lets not use that as our justification to stay closed Premier. In fact, Utah is open and has a 0.52% CFR – so clearly you hand selected the data you referenced.
