The coronavirus, like so many other social ills, real and metaphorical, incubated in major cities.
New York City, with the highest population density in the country, also accounted for the highest death toll. San Francisco, the second highest among large cities, was a major incubator.
Pandemic maps of the death toll show the deaths concentrating around major cities before making the slow trek from urban into suburban and eventually rural areas. The urban lockdowns didn’t stop the spread of the virus. What they really did was trap poor and middle class residents in urban areas, while the wealthy fled, and the virus spread to urbanites with the least mobility.
The people with the worst immune systems, in the densest living conditions, and the least ability to get up and leave, suffered the most, from nursing home patients to minorities with large families. The general pattern was historically familiar from the Middle Ages, and the only thing that our public health experts proved is that they weren’t any smarter than medieval peasants.

Daniel Greenfield is a national treasure.
"But the coronavirus is an urban problem and all the official solutions to it are urban solutions. And the urban problems and their solutions are killing us and taking down the whole country."
Major metro areas are like ant farms for people.
“The mobs of great cities add just so much to support of pure government as sores do to the strength of the human body.” — Thomas Jefferson
Woe unto them that join house to house, that lay field to field, till there be no place, that they may be placed alone in the midst of the earth!We were warned against living in such crowded conditions millennia ago.
— Isaiah 5:8
Good article.
Outstanding analysis. Not much to add but the left is a total disgusting stain on humanity.
A good example IMHO is if we think of humans as a virus then when the virus multiplies and settles in one area then it’s much more virulent.
When it’s spread out over a large area it’s harmless to the host as it builds an immunity to it.
Parasites wither when deprived of a host to destroy or when they are destroyed first by natural antibodies or an antivirus.
Another terrific Greenfield column.
