Not including the 1st wave from the COVID deaths stat reveals the success (or, SK& #39;s case, abject failure) of public policy. https://twitter.com/opensourcejoel/status/1380307002774192128">https://twitter.com/opensourc...

When you look at excess deaths in the first wave, SK seems to be under-reporting COVID deaths by a factor of 10. Meanwhile, in Atlantic Canada, if anything COVID deaths were being over-reported.

If SK continued to under-report COVID deaths at a comparable rate into Dec & Jan when our cases spiked (the first time), then the scale of the SaskParty failure is friggin& #39; mind-boggling.

Thanks to @nomaddadMatt for this thread. I will have to reevaluate my understanding of SK& #39;s excess deaths situation. Looks like the situation may NOT be so dire here.
