When do you think Toronto businesses will be ready to open again?

Yes. News and research show that the mortality rate is closer to the regular flu. There are many sources that share the same but this is where I watched it. From the beginning, the numbers did not add up. Watching from the sidelines - how Italy shared only 12% of the actual deaths were covid-19 due to their process. We still need to be compassionate to those that are affected by the fear and loss of their loved ones like all other times. We have to come together on any issue...let the facts help. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HQRoo3OPy3k

That seems like a somewhat unhelpful oversimplification. Even if say, in Italy to use your example, its "only" 12%, the numbers are so exponentially vast (& potentially growing at that rate) that its % is an awfully large no. of people. Since we have no cure, the instantaneousness of contagion is almost unstoppable by other than a shutdown. This all overlooks the nature of the illness short of death. It's more akin to getting pneumonia then flu & all those ventilators being used (30 million spent since this started on buying new ones for Ontario & we had more per person than the U.S.) are indicative of how it stresses out the body to the nth degree. Statistics are pretty abstract until you & others you know are physically effected. There are life lessons here of some kind for each of us to figure out on our own.
