Yes! Someone’s been looking at my husband’s research. He found 60% cases/ deaths in greater NYC; 2.5% cases/ deaths in LA County. Population density greater NYC 60,000 per square mile. Population density LA County 2,000 per square mile.

Population density plus the fact that in New York a lot more people take crowded public transportation, and in L.A., most people drive their own cars.

You’ve also got multi-family dwellings, illegal housing, tenements, elevators, stairwells.

NYC is a vertical city.

I wonder how much the census has to do with this.

Dems need warm bodies and voters. They don’t care how they get them.

The subway in New York is a hyper-efficient disease vector besides being the most filthy public transportation I’ve seen anywhere in the world, both the stations and the trains. Then there are the commuter trains and buses that come in from Long Island, Westchester County, Rockland County, southwestern Connecticut, and New Jersey. All these crowded transportation venues spread the virus like no other city and its environs.
