Not sure if anyone's been actually fined, although I do know they've broken up some gatherings and taken away the liquor licences of two establishments that allowed large gatherings after being ordered not to. 5 1 1

I've never heard the saying. According to the Farmers' Almanac it is a PA Dutch thing. https://www.farmersalmanac.com/what-is-an-onion-snow-21202 The same article says: "Another late-spring snow term to originate from the Pennsylvania Dutch is a “sapling bender,” referring to when it snows heavily in the spring, bending the branches of the new saplings." 6

NYC alone has been hard hit. If you check the table on this website, you will see that the total number of confirmed cases per million of population in the USA compares fairly favourable with the rest of the world. https://www.worldometers.info/coronavirus/?utm_campaign=homeAdvegas1?/embed/fd0k_hbXWcQ The figure for the USA is 1,397 The figure for the UK is 959 The figure for Germany is 1,394 The figure for Spain is 3,261 And for Ireland it's 1,331 It's bad - but it could be a hell of a lot worse.
