@TJ @BlackAzizAnansi the fatality rate for people of the same age and sex in Canada is still about 10% higher than before Covid, and hospitals are under strain; there were more excess deaths in 2022 than 2021 because people were vaccinated but no longer taking other protective measures and because COVID damages a variety of organs and systems even it it does not cause serious injury or death during the symptomatic period.
