Macao - 45 cases, 45 recovered, 0 new cases Funny that. 0 deaths. Absolutely none. 32.9 square kilometers in size. 676,100 population. 20,550 people per square kilometer. 0 deaths. Maybe we should all move to Macao. >but in answer to your question... > >new zealand land mass: 103483 miles^2 >new zealand population: 4.8 million (May 2020) 21 deaths. >rhode island land mass: 1212 miles^2 >rhode island population: 1.06 million (2020) I could look it up, but the US as a whole has 98,000+ deaths. Since many folks move around from place to place, it is impossible to put an exact number as to how many have died in each state. --Lee -- If it's not an iPhone, it's not an iPhone --- MesNews/1.08.05.00-gb * Origin: nntp://rbb.fidonet.fi - Lake Ylo - Finland (2:221/360.0) .
