DR Jennifer, Canada is looking very good right now.
"There’s no country that’s more like the United States than Canada, its neighbor to the north. But as the hyper-contagious Delta variant spreads — and as COVID-19 cases and hospitalizations start to rise among unvaccinated Americans in state after state — a key difference between the two countries has emerged.
With nearly 70 percent of its population now at least partially vaccinated, Canada is well on its way to reaching herd immunity. The U.S. — which has stalled out around 56 percent — is not."
I'm not exactly sure what the difference is here. Cases are the lowest since March 2020. We only have 50-100 cases a day (for a province of 8 million).
We did only re-open our restaurants and gyms in June. And we are still all wearing masks at stores, which I am happy about. The interesting thing is that second shots only started in June. But I think that we are 80% 12+ with one shot, and 50% with both shots.
