What is the proportion of influenza deaths to COVID-19 deaths currently? Thanks for asking! This week's illustration compares annual deaths from influenza and COVID-19 in Canada. There are about 3,500 flu deaths each year in Canada. From 2022 onward, there have been at least 45,000 untimely ("from") COVID-19 deaths each year in Canada. The number of people who die from influenza each year would fill the Agnico Eagle arena in Val d’Or QC. The minimum number of people in Canada who die prematurely from COVID-19 each year would fill the Rogers Arena (SkyDome) in Toronto. #CovidIsAirborne #CovidIsntOver #MaskUp #YallMasking #CleanTheAir
