According to the New York Times, there was a mass exodus of 420,000 #NewYorkers between March 1st and May 1st. Roughly 5% of residents — or about 420,000 people — left the city between March 1st and May 1st. In the city’s very wealthiest blocks, in neighborhoods like the Upper East Side, the West Village, SoHo, and Brooklyn Heights, the residential population decreased by 40% +. Can you imagine 40 percent of your neighborhood leaving in just two months?
  1. In H1 2020, US gun sales increased 95% (ten million guns), ammunition sales were up by 139%. The Most significant spike since the FBI began recording the statistics 22 years ago.
