I have to wonder how the Canadian healthcare system will handle a widespread outbreak. Isn't it overloaded on the best of days?

One things for certain now that Trump is downplaying the virus, many in the media and gov will most certainty be bringing a ton of attention to it (and it's already starting). If Trump says it, they must do and believe the opposite, and it is a great opportunity they're using to show the US's lack of preparedness, funding etc.
I'm not certain how much that will trickle over into Canadian MSM though, there have been few (if any) pieces criticizing the government's response or policy thus far.

"12th" Canadian case, likely from travel to iran.
11th case throwing fits because doesn't want to use up sick days and vacation time to self isolate. there's a handout for that of course...
It's an election year and Trump cut CDC funding. So they may have an axe to grind on top of PSA.This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote

How many Canadian doctors have died from the flu to date this Canadian flu season?
It's tough to make a comparison like that without a great deal of additional information, such as age, preexisting health conditions (known or unknown), exposure to pollution, are they a smoker, etc. These death numbers people keep quoting are missing so much key information that they don't really mean much in the way the seem to be most often presented.This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member.

From everything I have read so far, the people dying from this are by and large the high risk demographics, and the deaths are concentrated around the Wuhan area which is relatively poor, high pollution, and most people are smokers. That's a very different demographic compared to the average person in Canada.
Wuhan's pollution is so bad it is many times the maximum limits allowed in North America for airborne particles - and this particular virus targets the lungs. Things like that are likely affecting people's ability to fight it.
If you or I got it as (presumably) healthy adults, we might not even know. Most people who get it seem to have some mild symptoms and that's it, according to the reports I have read anyway. Who knows how much information out there is accurate though, especially in terms of numbers reporting.

Valid points, but what you're also missing is, how many of these people would have died if it was the common flu, definitely a lot less than the 2% current mortality rate the WHO is telling everyoneThis quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote
Sig nuked by mod.
you are forgetting that most people in Canada, including people of Chinese decent, consider china to be a third world country in terms of hygiene and health services.
I personally thing we have misplaced trust in our public health institutions.

I agree with you, but that is an issue with a lot of things because without a parallel universe we'll never really know. The same point comes up a lot whenever medicine/treatment is discussed as well - for example if I spent $1000 on Physio rehabilitating my knee over several months, did it get better because of the treatment, or would have I just healed up naturally after a few months. It's the same reason why ColdFX became so successful - it gives people something to credit when their immune system naturally gets rid of their cold in a week or two, and it's success is solely based on the fact that the person taking it will never know what happened if they didn't. There isn't really a way to know for sure when dealing with something that may affect each individual differently, so we don't really have the benefit of knowing how things would have played out another way.This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member.

If the mortality rate is disproportionately high, but if the people dying have disproportionately unhealthy environments and lifestyles, then is it really higher than the normal flu? Who knows. Also, most people who get the normal flu don't self-report, they sit at home and watch Netflix until they're better. When everyone is scared of the coronavirus, more people self-report and seek treatment within the medical system which also skews numbers when comparing to the regular flu.
Personally, I think this is being way overblown and every post I have seen so far with people sharing death statistics have conveniently left out lots of very key information - the numbers by themselves don't do much other than fear monger IMO. If you accompany those numbers with the relevant data on the victims, they become much more meaningful. Just for an example, the WHO says about 435,000 people die every year from Malaria (2017) - that's a scary number on it's own, but after knowing that 93% of those were in Africa and primarily in very poor areas without the same access to protection and hygiene that we're used to, it all of a sudden doesn't become something that most people need to be concerned about in terms of personal safety.
