   Hello mark,

   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.
