COVID deaths in Texas: 51,081 (All of Canada = 25,050)
COVID deaths in Florida: 36,271
Total: 87,352
That is more than the death toll of Canadian soldiers in WW1 or WW2 (not combined).
That would be the entire population of the city I live closest to... much too high a price to pay.
Israel COVID deaths: 6,395. We all know how they are handling the pandemic. Bars open, shops open, back to business.
