All the big insurance companies are sending out rebates.

I've put about 15 miles on my car since March 15.

I was wondering how that was balancing out.It has to at least a little.There was just under 39,000 traffic fatalities nationwide last year
Not sure if we're an outlier, but fatalities are actually up in Minnesota relative to past years. Maybe less VMT = less practice? I do know people have verb l been driving really stupidly since the SIP order went out.

Is Sweden as globally mobile as we are in this country?

I read that 400,000 people flew here from China in January. I read that most of NYC's cases were brought in from Europe (after China sent it there).
I'm not sure if it's AS globally mobile, but they've got a lot of imprint on the world.

Ericsson, Ikea, and Volvo are obviously largely multinational. A google search says closing retailer H&M as well. 

I've also noticed a very large overlap/interaction with the UK. I think there are a lot of Brit expats in Sweden (it seemed that way when I was there anyway). 

I was reading about Sweden in general, and although they have very low population density as a nation, 85% of their population is in cities of 100K or more, so it's not a "rural" population despite the low population density. I suspect it's quite like Canada in that regard--lot of land, low population, but 90% of the Canadian population lives within 100 miles of the US border.

KEY POINTS
Apple and Google announced a partnership on Friday in which the two companies will work together to provide tools that will help track the spread of coronavirus.
Apple said both companies will launch developer tools (called APIs) in May that will “enable interoperability between Android and iOS devices using apps from public health authorities.”
“Second, in the coming months, Apple and Google will work to enable a broader Bluetooth-based contact tracing platform by building this functionality into the underlying platforms,” Apple said in a press release.

A conspiracy theorist might propose that this is just a way for Apple and Google to track US citizens even more closely...

Ohio Distilleries have went into overdrive to make hand sanitizer and will donate the product to Food Banks 👍

Unfortunately even if their intentions are honorable they've sort of foisted that suspicion onto themselves
