    I said Canadian numbers were lower than Swedish ones, not that they are more accurate. Canadian numbers were collected by unionized nurses and doctors working at government hospitals. They had no financial incentive to increase the number of covid deaths.

    British Columbia schools were closed in April and May of 2020. Afterwards, they were open. People were never locked down. Borders to the U.S. were closed for travel before the vaccines when Trump was President. Biden opened them early in his Presidency for the vaccinated. In Canada, some major sporting events were carried on without fans, along with restaurants and bars. Some Canadian provinces slowed travel to other provinces before the vaccines.

    After 2022, Canada stopped counting covid caused deaths and started counting those dying with covid along with those who died from covid, thus increasing the covid death numbers.

    Spare me. If you say the canadian numbers are better then you mean that it is a true statement. Hence the numbers are accurate. You should know better than to write that sentence.

    The more time that passes, the worse the Chinese look.
    BEIJING (AP) — The hunt for the origins of COVID-19 has gone dark in China, the victim of political infighting after a series of stalled and thwarted attempts to find the source of the virus that killed millions and paralyzed the world for months.

    The Chinese government froze meaningful domestic and international efforts to trace the virus from the first weeks of the outbreak, despite statements supporting open scientific inquiry, an Associated Press investigation found. That pattern continues to this day, with labs closed, collaborations shattered, foreign scientists forced out and Chinese researchers barred from leaving the country.

    The investigation drew on thousands of pages of undisclosed emails and documents and dozens of interviews that showed the freeze began far earlier than previously known and involved political and scientific infighting in China as much as international finger-pointing. . . .
