As usual, Global "News" does NOT provide any comparative data so that viewers can put things into proper context. Ten lives lost? Let's check Statistics Canada's mortality data from 2015-2020. Total number of lives aged 0-14 lost to influenza and pneumonia each year (lives lost to other infectious diseases are not included). In parentheses is the total number of lives lost from all causes.
2015 = 26 (2,412)
2016 = 35 (2,433)
2017 = 32 (2,351)
2018 = 46 (2,433)
2019 = 30 (2,280)
2020 = 19 (2,238)
The 2021 mortality data has not yet been released.
Note that of the 14,147 lives aged 0-14 lost to all causes from 2015-2020, 72.6% of them were under 1 year of age. Of the 188 lives lost to influenza and pneumonia, 61 of them were under 1 year of age.
