Lol, oops...not sure, I removed themYes it did. The numbers you quoted say PER MILLION, which means it was adjusted.
It is not three times the absolute number of cases - it is three times the number of cases after adjusting for population size.
By the way, why the dollar signs?

Sorry
They have 3x the amount cases we do. That’s what I said.
The news article I read said this: “USA has 3x Covid-19 cases than Canada” and it went on to say they have 10x the amount of people.No - you don't seem to understand the numbers you are posting. Per the numbers you posted, they have about 30 times the number of cases that Canada has.
Using some simple numbers:
Country 1 - 1 million people and 1 case per million = 1 case
Country 2 - 10 million people and 3 cases per million = 30 cases
It would be untrue to say that "Country 2 has 3 times the cases that country 1 has" because 30 is not 3 times 1.
You would be correct to say "Country 2 has 30 times the cases that country 1 has" or "Country 2 has three times the cases per capita (or per 1 million population) that country 1 has".
You can't say that, of course, they have more cases, they have more people when the fact that they have more people has been accounted for by reporting cases per million.

Anyway - thank you for the lesson and explaining simple numbers.
I’m not going to argue. Your right, I’m wrong (cause it was about that to begin with?). I don’t particularly care. To me it makes sense they have more numbers. That’s all.
They will be opening things but you will have to keep your distance from people still. You can still relax restrictions and keep social distancing I expect parks, arenas and the border to be the last to open.
Its been a rich person's game for a long time. Why would any one want to go skating in the middle of summer.My Rant for the day.. open the arenas . Private arenas are open with strict rules (5 skaters temp checks etc ) and Steep prices . We travelled an hour yesterday for ice. If private arenas can be open, if NHL is such a essential commodity that we can open the borders for non Canadians and media and whatnot , there is def a way to do this safely for the kids. Hockey is simply becoming a game Moreso for the rich .

I’m not going to argue. Your right, I’m wrong (cause it was about that to begin with?). It doesn’t matter to me. To me it makes sense they have more numbers. I guess it does not and it’s simple math. I honestly never meant to go into it that deep. Just hope it all improves soon so we can go back to Disney. I assume you love Disney too since you’re on DIS.
Let’s stay hopeful, I don’t know that we have much else left to do.

Lots of kids that play hockey, figure skate, and speed skate skate all year round. We've done summer hockey camps with our kids for years.Its been a rich person's game for a long time. Why would any one want to go skating in the middle of summer.

Definitely!And I suspect that, since they missed so much ice time over the winter/spring this year, kids (and adults) are even keener for summer skating than normal.

Not sure where you are. But arenas around here are opening. But only for skills development with limited people. We could sign our son up for an hour long session for 2 days starting in about 3 weeks. . Limited to 9 kids on the ice.
We are in Kingston all rinks here are municipal closest to us not putting ice in until sept 7. Usually it’s back in my now. Belleville has one private rink and it’s booked solid mostly Toronto /Ottawa people they said . Sigh
I think the Ontario municipalities should build a lot more outdoor arenas this upcoming winter and move most skating games and practices outdoor. They can board up and flood the current arena parking lots. When I was in Montreal, there was almost a skating rink in every public park and we can easily play hockey outdoor. The risk of infection will be a lot less if the skate is held outdoor.
