The other top countries in the world for death rate are:
Spain 409 deaths per million of its population
Italy 367 deaths per million of its population
France 275 deaths per million of its population
So NYState has 2 times as many people dying as anywhere in the world at this time and I said, yes, I am worried about it.

Did you worry when 60,000 died of H1N1? I’m not worried in the least.
I can answer that as a native. New York City is densely populated. Apartment buildings can have many many floors, 30 to 50 floors or more, of multiple apts on each floor. It would be impossible not to run into neighbors. There is also an element that does not follow rules and you can be sure that’s who’s filling the emergency rooms. The numbers are no longer scary once you know that when you get out of the city and go more upstate, it’s pastoral with very few, if any, cases.
