Yeah, I probably could have but I was starting to climb the walls and wanted to check out the nearby supermarket as well to see what the stock levels were like. I was also out of fresh fruit and vegetables and had a mad craving for a big salad. ::)

Imagine 9mil New Yorkers will do the same.. :scared:

No, the New Yorkers all all fleeing New York like rats leaving a sinking ship. A week ago there was only about 3 flights per day from New York to Florida but few days ago there were 196 flights. the number of people fleeing New York to go to Florida is increasing even faster than the virus. Do the math, 196 flights per day x an average of 250 passengers per flight. The Florida governor is mad as hell about the number of untested people arriving here and has been trying to get the president to stop the flights but the airlines want the revenue and Trump is going to give them what they want. The airlines are going to ensure that the entire country is thoroughly infected but they'll have their blood money, er, revenue.
BTW I just looked at the numbers in the bailout bill that the US Congress just passed. Big Business, mostly the airlines, are getting a $500million bailout but the hospitals are only getting $100million. :--

Your concern should be directed to gov. Cuomo. Those numbers are Billions, not millions. Only 25B is for passenger airlines though with the same again available as loans for salaries, the 500B is mostly for loans to other businesses to stay in business and avoid firing people. Hospitals/staff get about 117B significantly MORE. Significant money for a multitude of other things but really pay attention to what's happening. We don't need people getting upset over perceived grievances that just aren't real. I'm more annoyed by them approving 25M for the politicians who still haven't even passed the bill. They say politicians and their families can't get money, but then make sure they get money. I'll add in researching some people are apparently mistaking that money as a raise and it's not. Not sure why people would assume it was.

I don't know a lot about Finland, but a bit about nordic countries in general, and I would have expected people there to be a lot more well behaved than this. But maybe it's just a small fraction of all people (but in that case, that would not be as significant a problem as it is?) Or maybe the Finnish are just obnoxious? Or something. :P

@not1xor1: I don't know how much we can trust the published figures, but currently Italy has one of the highest death rate (deaths/total cases) with about 10%. This is gigantic.

Is there anywhere that shows data day to day country by country?
