am i missing something ? coz is loosing one person a week to covid ? and this is considered good ? what planet are we on ?
i live in a city of about 100,000. we have lost about 27 people since this all began. we currently have 3 people in the hospital with one of those being n icu. and we are in total lockdown.
The state of Q Roo supposedly has 1.72 million people and reported deaths are 2300 so far - that is 0.1% of the population, Cozumel has 100k people and 111 deaths, about the same percentage, 0.1%.
Last year in the US, great medical care, according to the CDC, there were 659,000 deaths by heart disease with 340 million people - that's 0.19% of the population.
Twice as many people die from heart disease (US) verses COVID (MX) per year but yet we still sell cigarettes, coffee, soda pop and all sorts of other bad things to ingest.
Now I'm not sure what the Canadian government has contributed to it's citizens but here in Cozumel, we've gotten two boxes of food and 10% off the low tier rate of our electric bill for one month..... I'm not sure of how many people died in the Yucatan due to alcohol poisoning in the early months of this craziness but it's damn near 27 (hand sanitizer and coke was a popular way to go) if not more - they were locked down with a no booze law.
Sometimes I wonder if we put things in perspective, how much differently we might look at them. There is no way that this island or state could survive any sort of lockdown - the government can't provide for the people, they just can't. Life must go on here and it has, we have learned to live with COVID and any death is terrible, but a lockdown would be so much more devastating....
