In 2020 approximately 85 thousand Canadians died from cancer. I thought heart disease was the #1 killer, but its not. Cancer is. Heart disease is #2. Cancer accounts for about 30% of all deaths in this country. Heart disease about 20%. Compared to these two diseases, covid numbers are paltry, especially when you consider 90% of those who died from covid most likely had either heart disease or cancer to begin with.
You can expect those numbers to go way up now, because so many people have not gotten the diagnostics or treatments they needed because of covid. That to me, is the worst thing that our government has allowed to happen. We see it every single day. People, especially older people with serious health problems, are so terrified of covid they wont go anywhere near a doctors office or hospital. They are dying because of it. Burying your head in the sand and pretending it isnt happening will just ensure it happens again in the future.
