Yes. We still have no idea how many are infected TDale313 Mar 2020 #2

No, it's not the fatality rate of those with the disease; it's the deaths per million people. blitzen Mar 2020 #4

Canada now has about the same infection rate US had 4 or 5 days ago.

However, US rate is slowing down a bit. Now doubling about every 2.3 days, while Canada doubling every 3 days.

As to death rates, ... Canada has universal health care. Have an operation, never see a bill.
