The Canadian government’s own chart!  I couldn’t find it anymore online but it is also posted on the independent Canadian federal parliament member Randy Hillier’s Facebook site.   Where he said this almost a month ago (Aug 7):

I encourage everyone to pause the talking heads for a moment and check the numbers for themselves.

Clearly for me, lock-downs, masks, social distancing, closing down our economy and education makes no difference. Our government has dug themselves into a deep hole they can’t get out, and we won’t either until we face up to the facts and stop buying into the fear. Politicians and the media have become to fearful to speak truthfully because of the backlash from social media mob. It’s time all reasonable people speak up and ditch the maskerade.

*COVID-19 Deaths of those 80+ are 6,327 and Flu deaths in 2018 of those 80+ were 6,193*

I don’t know if this has been posted here before or not, but even so I think it’s worth a rerun.  Kind of says it all, doesn’t it?

And, and… it’s the federal government’s own chart!  I’d like to print this on facemasks and give them out for free.  At least then all those masks would be doing some good.

Edit: Randy Hillier’s Website has many more graphs showing the comparison with Covid and a Normal Flu Season
