redoing math

New Zealand population is 4.8 million - they have had 28 covid deaths

Massachusetts population is 6.9 million - Massachusetts has had 18,000
covid deaths

4.8X = 6.9 gives X = 1.43

so Massachusetts is 1.43 times larger than NZ

multiplying 28 X 1.43 = 40

if NZ was as large as Mass they would have had 40 deaths

Mass had 18,000 deaths

18,000 / 40 = 450

Bottom line - the Mass death rate was 450 times higher than NZ
