It would be shocking if those stats were not there.

The only countries that could compare would be China and India with population comparisons. We have a large popular country ranked number 3 in the world.

with Canada having 9205 deaths due to Covid-19, Canada has had less than half of the deaths the US has had to date.


Canada has 1/10th the population of the US so 9205 x 10 = 92,050 which is 100,000 less deaths than the US.
