You’re not alone in enjoying the joy of regrowing scallions. @jennydeluxe writes that checking on her little scallion garden has become a favorite daily activity, the way taking a walk to get a coffee or picking up the mail used to be. nyti.ms/3cJC0eO
For well over an hour @caityweaver deleted photos, clawing back several gigabytes of space. She felt productive. She felt lighter. Her phone had room for new screenshots. nyti.ms/2z8s2Fb

We're releasing mortality data for 24 countries to give researchers and the public a clearer picture of how many people have died during the coronavirus pandemic. nyti.ms/2Tiu1gY
Most official Covid-19 death counts exclude many people who were never tested or died at home. Data that includes all causes of death offers a more complete picture of the outbreak’s toll. nyti.ms/36q7rsl
Times journalists around the world collaborated to compile this data from health departments and other official sources.

It has led us to stories about the virus's impact in Russia, Sweden, Turkey and Latin America.

As the coronavirus spreads to more parts of the U.S., it could reach communities with especially vulnerable populations — ones that have a high rate of underlying health conditions.

A health-risk index was created for us by @policymap, a company that analyzes local health data.

This map shows counties with high rates of diabetes, obesity and other conditions that increase residents’ risk of becoming severely ill if they are infected with the coronavirus.

Starting in March, as the coronavirus outbreak in New York began, parts of the city emptied out — especially the wealthiest areas.

Here’s what we know about where everyone went. nyti.ms/2LBYrGO
In March, the U.S. Post Office received 56,000 mail-forwarding requests from New York City, more than double the monthly average.

In April, 81,000 — twice the number from a year earlier. 60% of the new requests were for destinations outside the city. nyti.ms/2LBYrGO
Those mail-forwarding requests show some New Yorkers abandoned the Upper West Side for Miami. Others left Gramercy Park for New Jersey. And some left Brooklyn apartments for California. nyti.ms/2LBYrGO
