Ouch!
So Canada had a death rate of 8.2%? That doesn't sound right.
Canada being 37 means it has an infection spread of 79%? Am I reading this wrong?
Canada, as mentioned before, is 38, so you're reading the infection spread for the wrong country. Thankfully for us!
We got decent-to-good scores for cases per capita and "infection spread" (not totally sure what this means, if they're counting this as R0 or some other measure). Death rate sounds right to me; deaths in the general population were very low but long-term care homes were hit really hard, exacerbated by terrible policy in Ontario and Quebec where workers in those homes were allowed to work multiple homes at once even into the early phases of the pandemic. We also had cases of staff completely abandoning their patients and fleeing for their own health and safety, especially in the for-profit homes.
GDP is the number I was most curious about, and it looks like we got hit relatively hard compared to the rest of the world. Hard to get a sense of whether this means we were very successful in locking down the country, or if it's a bad indicator because it means we couldn't deal with the current wave quickly and have to remain largely locked down, or something else entirely/a mix of multiple things.
