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.
I am not sure - is it the density or is that herd immunity is already partially in California and that is why it has less than California.
Holy corona! That`s 464 people per square foot! Them`s peoples is stacked up like hot pancakes waiting for thems flies! Holy corona! Is the math correct? i dunno....
The last measured population density for Santa Clara County, CA was 1,490 in 2018
We were suppose to see people dropping dead left and right by now
“Silicon Valley could face 2,000 to 16,000 coronavirus-related deaths, new estimates show”

where “we do something, but [it’s] not well complied with” — there could still be a far worse death toll than the best-case scenario, with nearly 8,000 dead in Santa Clara County.
****I’d say your projections are taking their time to appear. As of today, nearly the middle of April, we have lost 54 souls to CCP-19 but, that number is likely lower because the givernment has decided everyone who dies do so with CCP-19 being the primary cause.
We have never changed the definition of death for any other virus
Why now?
Birx says government is classifying all deaths of patients with coronavirus as ‘COVID-19’ deaths, regardless of cause
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.
Deaths per million are currently 478 in New York state. Let’s say they are 1000 per million in NYC and maybe double that by the time this ends. At that rate, national deaths could have been about 650,000, which can be rounded down to 500,000. Something like that is a proper number with no action.
Perhaps your husband will also be interested in my theory that it’s not only popluation density, but also the use of mass transit. LA and most of the west coast travels by car, whereas the eastern seaboard and European cities are much more likely to use subways, trains, and buses. A closed box with lots of people crammed close together with limited air circulation and many commonly-touched surfaces make mass transportation an almost perfect virus incubator.
