Do we really do need to address what constitutes a proper Covid death? We can accurately project case numbers to hospitalizations and then to deaths as a rough approximation. Who frankly cares if the exact number of COVID deaths are being r

Even in the Frenchest Quebec-nationalist parts of Canada you have to work pretty hard at being a belligerent jerk to not get served at a restaurant for not speaking French. People tell stories all the time about this sort of stuff, you hear
