I wonder what the contribution is of population being far less dense in CA than in NYC, and the widespread use of private cars in the former.
I agree. I think the greater population density of NYC over California is the leading factor for New York’s higher number of cases.
My thoughts exactly.
It’s a lot easier to be more than six feet away from other people in California.
LA has 7,000 people per sq miles. NYC 27,000 per sq mile.
My question is about the idea that Cal is right behind NY but not enough people have been tested to show it. Wouldn’t there still be an increase in very sick people if the only question was not enough tests? People might not be being tested but they would still be getting sick if the virus was anywhere near NY levels.
