I’m assuming that whoever used cahonas was going for cojones, (vulgar Spanish for testicles).
I’ve seen cajones used, which means drawers, (furniture), in Spanish, or depending on the context, the poster could have meant kahuna, an Hawaiian word for a wise man, or person in charge.
e.g. he’s the big kahuna.

When my mum’s friend died they found nearly £250,000 in cash hidden in her house. She’d withdrawn it all during the banking crisis in 2008. If they’d been a fire or burglary she’d probably have lost the lot.

And it has to be over the whole period and deaths per million population.

Otherwise, even if every person in Monaco were whiped out, they would still be doing better than us.
