Watching the local TV reports for many months and to my shock – that outlet rarely gives the all the facts or explains anything

Why if the figures are not high! or  high enough we eliminate everything but the biggest number which is not necessarily significant.

First case reported of Covid-19 January 25th, 2020

For instance: Friday 196 reported cases in the Interior Health Area – what they do not say is:

 

There is 1 new case

193 people recovered with a recovery rate of 98%

Only 30 went to a hospital. There are 22 hospitals in the region.

2 deaths

 

Lets just make one comparison

Vancouver Island HA – 10 hospitals

130 cases reported

Only 25 went to a hospital

No new cases

125 recovered with a rate of 96%

5 people died
