Westphalian Times: Oxford University: Canada ranks among highest in the stringency of government measures, near China and Cuba
The COVID-19 Government Response Tracker (OxCGRT) from the Oxford University suggests that the stringency of lockdown measures in Canada ranks nearly as high as those of communist China and Cuba.
The staggering figures from the OxCGRT were originally reported by Cosmin Dzsurdzsa from True North.
Oxford’s OxCGRT quantifies the stringency of governmental COVID restrictions by looking at a variety of variables such as school closures, travel restrictions, workplace closing, restrictions on gathering and more.
Canada obtained a stringency score of 75.46, slightly behind China’s 78.24 and Cuba’s 79.63.
The United Kingdom obtained a score of 61.11 as the country is in the midst of a gradual reopening.
The United States obtained a score of 56.94. Countries with scores higher than Canada included Algeria, Iran, Turkey, Venezuela, Argentina, and others.

Update: Canada’s lockdowns nearly as strict as communist China, Cuba: Oxford University
WNU Editor: In the case of Canada we find ourselves in this situation because we fail in obtaining and distributing vaccines in a timely manner.

Government induced death followed by government induced mass casualty event.
Healthy people do not die of COVID any more than they die of influenza. In all likelihood less...
If you strengthen you body in the usual ways be exercise, losing weight and the rest chances are that unless you are are eligible for Medicare (over 65), you are not going to die of the disease. Maybe 1 in 1,000 or less. If you are over 65 and have diabetes, hypertension or something watch out.
GOVEWRNEMENT HAS BEEN MAKING PEOPLE LESS SAFE. GOVERNEMENT HAS literally PREVENTED PEOPLE FROM EXERCISING AND THEREBY INDUCING THEM TO GAIN WEIGHT AND BECONME MORE SUSPECTIBLE TO DYING.
In this case government is the problem not the solution. PERIOD. END of STORY.
Whenever you see a person lying on a hospital bed with Mount Everest sitting squarely on top their lower torso, you should no the problem is the person is sick and lying in supine position.
Seriously, that is as stupid as knowing a person has a high alcohol content, liable to barf, and lie them on their back instead of side and walk off. What do you think will happen? They are going to suffocate in their vomit.
When you have a cold you feel crappy. Part of it is the body marshalling its resources to fight the virus. So you body aches including your muscles. Those muscles now have less capacity, so breathing is harder and people get shallower breathes. Shallower breaths mean less oxygen to the muscles, which means even less capacity to draw in air. Rinse and repeat. It is a death spiral. But go ahead lie people on their backs. Since the doctor has no baseline for tidal volume for a particular patient and TV is less, when a person is sick, why lie people on the back? If a person is overweight and has a history of sleep apnea, don't you think they are close to the edge anyway?
Did you write all that while looking in the mirror
No research, ergonomics class and good sense. If you are sick and could not bench as much or run as fast, why would you expect to have the same lung capacity?
