michigan has a population of roughly 10 million, and 110 deaths last i checked.

canada has a population approaching 40 million, more comparable to california (although less.), and roughly 60 deaths.

in fact, the number of cases in california and canada are roughly the same, but the death rate in california, which is much warmer than canada this time of year, is almost twice as high.

california has been under a state of emergency with strict lockdown rules for weeks. canada only recently introduced basic travel restrictions, in a fit of stupidity, to appease the scientifically ignorant, the evan solomons. no, he's the perfect example of somebody to not listen to. 

how long will this go on for?

i have a feeling it's going to be a long time.
