Quebec 5,770 deaths from 63,713 cases = 9.06% fatality rate.

Why does a Quebec case have 5 times the chance of fatality as an Albertan case? I would accept a province to province deviation of maybe 20% but this is 542% different. If these numbers are gospel, then why is the government not identifying the cause? This should be case for alarm.

Here is the link to where I got this info if you would like to dig around more.

It shows how doing things wrong can significantly increase the risk. Seniors are most at risk and Alberta did a better job.

For instance. Government said to not have healthcare workers move from seniors home to seniors home and instead only work one.

Quebec took that as a recommendation and didn’t follow it. Alberta did.
