I've said it before, but it bears repeating. There is one place in the world where a map of #COVID19 cases & deaths reveals a straight line, with a huge amount of disease on one side, very little on the other.
Where? The 3000+ mile border US/#Canada
It's stark.

In #Canada🇨🇦 there have cumulatively been 228,079 cases and 10,082 deaths.
In the USA🇺🇸 we've reached a dismal 8.9 million cases with 227,663 deaths.
Canada's total caseload is about = to our death toll.
Is it not long overdue for America to ask, "What is Canada doing right?"
