Statistics show hundreds more deaths than anticipated in early weeks of pandemic
The mere existence of the preliminary data, published in this format for the first time in Quebec, puts the province far ahead of others, such as Ontario, in tracking and releasing the information.
“But you have to be careful with this kind of analysis. It has a methodological problem, which is getting the counterfactual right: What would have happened in the absence of the pandemic? This is a really tricky thing, a nightmare in some sense.” The ISQ normally publishes death data with months-long time lags. It now plans to publish breakdowns every two weeks.
