FOX News: Canadian official says risk of death from other factors higher than coronavirus
A top official in Canada says most people have a better chance of dying from "other pathogens, accidents, and traffic fatalities" than from coronavirus.
Alberta Premier Jason Kenney made the comments this week as he argued wholesale shutdowns of the economy are no longer necessary for coronavirus.
“For most Albertans, the risk of death from other pathogens, accidents and traffic fatalities is actually higher than it is for COVID,” Kenney said Wednesday, according to the Calgary Herald.
Kenney referred to coronavirus as “an influenza that does not generally threaten life” apart from at-risk populations.
"What we are learning is that younger people, while not completely immune, have a rate of mortality related to COVID that is no higher than their general mortality rate for other illnesses," Kenney told the house Wednesday.

WNU Editor: In the Canadian province that I live in (Quebec), 4300 people have died from Covid-19, of which 82% were seniors with serious medical problems in long term care facilities. For those who were below 60 and healthy, Covid-19 has not been that much of a threat.
