I don't know. We have 50,000 and Vietnam:
Vietnam is a classic
example. It began lifting lockdown restrictions last week after claiming
it had not suffered a single coronavirus death. Despite sharing a huge
border with China and having a population of 95 million, Vietnam acted
quickly to enforce a strict lockdown followed by a swift return to
normal. Cafes and shops in Hanoi began reopening last week and everyone
is smiling. There were 268 infections in total—not bad for a population
of 95 million—but not one of these infections led to death. (“‘Zero
Deaths’ Vietnam eases lockdown”, Daily Mail, April 24, 2020, p. 10. See
also here).
Impressive.
