The 1st video was released on the 1 April, the 2nd on 3 April. Today it's the 12th and according to https://gisanddata.maps.arcgis.com/apps/opsdashboard/index.html#/bda7594740fd40299423467b48e9ecf6 there are 899 dead now, and 10,483 confirmed cases. That's a little over 8% dead with their economy hardly slowed down. The US is running almost 4% dead (under half of Sweden's death rate with 20,646 dead) with a lot of people out of work. A fair trade as far as I'm concerned...

I wonder how many large Easter Sunday gatherings actually took place today?
