Anyone have a link to a data piece that highlights demographic info about the infected population?
I'm curious to see if the low vaccination rate / infection rates are primarily amongst an unvaccinated religious group, recent immigrants (who may've come from countries with lower vaccination rates), etc. With our population growth being entirely driven through immigration -- like even with the scale back lately, it's still 92% of our population growth -- source countries/cultures may matter.
Canada usually has absurd amounts of demographic info easily available, but my little bit of googling turned up nothing on this one, other than articles saying there's no data...
