Think Asymptomatic means they can't spread it . . ."
Asymptomatic spread is NOT a thing. Multiple studies from multiple nations have shown that symptomatic cases cause the vast majority of csses.
or won't die.
99.93% survival/recovery rate for cases under 60 years of age in Alberta (133 deaths out of 183,602 cases in the age group, as of May 9th).
Ontario's figure is 99.87% survival/recovery for cases under 60, for comparison.
Or, that it won't mutate.
The narrative about variants is pure scaremongering. Don't fall for it. Instead, look at THE GOVERNMENT'S OWN DATA for yourself. That data is freely and publicly available, and says something rather different from what the media and politicians say it says.
Ontario government data for non-LTC cases. Same relative time periods, from six weeks prior to the active case peak through three weeks afterward (64 days total).
Winter wave (Nov. 30 - Feb. 1, active case peak Jan. 11)
149,179 cases and 1,263 deaths = 0.85% case fatality rate
Spring wave (Mar. 9 - May 11, active case peak Apr. 20)
186,937 cases and 1,207 deaths = 0.65% case fatality rate
So, in the spring, despite 25.3% MORE cases, and despite the increasing frequency of the supposedly more dangerous variants, deaths were 4.4% LOWER, and the case fatality rate 23.7% LOWER.
