Millions (not the good kind)
How quickly is the COVID-19 pandemic spreading around the world, one wondered.
76 days to the first million, 12 days for 2, 3, 4, and 5 million, and as of July 18th, 2020, 5 days from 12 million to 13 million.
edit: increase height of iframe because 28 25 days later we’re at 20 million
note: Situation Report 209 was the final daily COVID-19 Situation Report. “Beginning tomorrow [August 17, 2020] we will begin publishing the COVID-19 Weekly Epidemiological Update which will focus on analysis and interpretation of the evolving epidemiological situation.”
another note (see Data Overview and Visualizations section): Starting June 19th, 2021, “daily counts of COVID-19 confirmed cases and deaths reported to the WHO headquarters on Saturdays and Sundays will be updated on the following Monday.”
Statistics Canada‘s 2011 National Household Survey reported 1,053,945 Muslims in Canada, 3.2% of the population.
7,850,605 people reported “No religious affiliation.”
Ramadan starts tomorrow and it is nice to see elected leaders embrace, celebrate with, and represent the people they serve.
Wishing a blessed Ramadan to Muslims observing the month at home this year. By coming together virtually, we’ll be able to stay connected and still honour the values at the heart of Islam – compassion, peace, and service to others. Ramadan Mubarak! https://t.co/sJg0aRUP0a pic.twitter.com/Bl2ESHvICH
