Re: Holidaying from UK to BC
Here's a fun chart, AFAIK this is a kosher source:
https://ourworldindata.org/coronavir...pickerSort=asc
It shows why Canada might want to be cautious about admitting people who have been in the US, the UK or Brazil. That said, if they're tested, quarantined for a fortnight and tested again that should be safe enough except for the warders at the quarantine facility.

excess deaths provide a bit more of a normalization against different testing rates and reporting of Covid deaths

Charts with the countries filled in:

same trends as the first chart I linked to. Death rates, however measured, falling except in three countries.

Obviously this only works for countries with mass testing in place, But if the data is accurate it would appear that aside from crossing out Moscow, Rio and Florida off the summer holiday list - most places are pretty much equally safe at the moment.

Comparing infections has a raft of problems related to testing rates and reporting accuracy, it's like trying to compare violent crime; interesting but inconclusive. Death is better in both cases as there's less wiggle room and, indeed, less wiggling. There's also an issue in that the populated part of Canada, say, Niagara to Montreal, has a similar population density to the UK while most of the country is empty; there's not a lot of danger of catching any infectious disease in the NWT so as the would be immigrant suggested earlier, comparing the rate for the whole country doesn't quite work.
