I've got an article for you that drives that point home: "Coronavirus and Seasonality: What We Know and Don’t Know"That is sometimes misinterpreted, because if one looks at Canada almost all of their populations are concentrated in the largest cities closest to the border with the US. So in reality, they have congested cities - i.e. Vancouver and Toronto in particular. Very difficult to find accommodation in Vancouver and Toronto, and they are overpopulated and swamped with recent immigrants living in overpopulated conditions. Immigration being the Canadian Government's way of trying to get income of course. The Canadian health system in particular has very little spare capacity. I wouldn't want to get the Corona flu in Canada if I can help it. Nor in Europe.
Population density too should be a crucial factor playing in favour of Canada.

Many say that the coronavirus was actually man-made by the US. Like isn’t it ironic that it affects China and Iran the most? (Italy I think is the third most affected).
It would seem to make sense for the US to affect China’s economy using the virus without making it extremely obvious. Specially considering that China holds a huge market share.
Similarly with Iran, the conflict going on between the US and Iran could also be something that lead them to target Iran as well. And yet again, the fact that it’s done through a virus makes it less obvious, allowing the US to pretend like they’ve got nothing to do with it.
As for Italy, not sure why they’d target them though.
But again, all of this is just a theory and is probably just a result of pure coincidence. I just find it quite ironic specially considering that the US isn’t all that badly affected by the virus.
Right. That's a huge conspiracy theory and worth considering given how nothing really wants to make sense. But how would Italy then fit into this theory though as they're now the country worse affected than Iran and second after China. That's the one that has me completely baffled. Why did Europe get such a big impact - like in the tens of thousands, however Russia seems to be much less? Russia is next to China - but only has 28 cases so far! The US has more than 1000 cases. Maybe this conspiracy theory would work better with Russia as the perpetrator? Like if we go that route, wouldn't it fit Russia better given that poison attack in a UK Park a couple of years ago? Or is there just that little air travel between the two? So many questions?
