It’s fun, but really not fair to compare NYC to average expectations. People are jammed together and have only public transportation. Single family dwellings and cars make social distancing easy for non-city dwellers. If you live in an apartment building with central air conditioning and don’t own a car, you are pretty much screwed. Big cities are going to get it a whole lot worse than the rest of us. As with politics, it’s an urban vs rural thing. I won’t cut Cuomo or DeBlasio any slack for being smug Democrats, but I also won’t blame them for not being able to control a virus in a free society crowded into a city.
I really don’t think this virus can be spread through HVAC systems. Measles can but it has an Ro of 12 or so.
In the mixed up words of slow joe biden, maybe in the big cities, the disease is the cure.
Another way for joe to express this jumbled word salad, "If it kills enough city dwellers, the disease will burn itself out".
Very true, but I'm not sure this is what joe's handler's wanted him to blurt out.
However if it's NY, LA, SF, CHI, SEA, where is the downside?
7-8 bad guys to one good guy on average, OK, since I don't live there, good luck to the few good guys.
