...The disease spreads rapidly through the poor tenements, said the NYT. “Marisol Lima, 35, was eight days from her move-out date, in the tiny room she rented from a Colombian family, when she noticed that her downstairs neighbor was coughing. Within days, six of the seven people in the apartment were seriously ill, feverish, breathing with difficulty.”
The housing and health situation similar to the scenes in New York during the 1840s and 1950s when hundreds of thousands of migrant Irish flooded into tenements wracked by disease and crime.
In the United States, “we’re learning that the closer people live and work together, the more threatening and deadly the disease can be,” said an Apri l27 New York Times article by two medical researchers:...

I wonder how much the two "medical researchers" are paid to point out the stuff that Captain Obvious will point out free?
These clowns cannot even define the problem. ITS CALLED SANCTUARY CITIES IS THE CAUSE. NO ONE WAS EVER MEDICALLY VETTED,,,,JUST COME ONE, COME ALL AND BRING YOUR DISEASES WTIH YOU. NOW THESES CLOWNS ARE LOOKING FOR A DEFINITION THEY CAN BLAME THE PROBLEM ON. THE DEMS WILL HAVE THE CURES.
That’s why the big hot spot is the NY - NJ - CT area, with well over half the cases / deaths. Very hard to do social distancing when you have that sort of population density.
“Migration” = illegal aliens resident in the US.
The humane thing to do would be to deport all 12 million to 30 million illegals. That would drastically cut the overcrowding in our cities and reduce the risk of this sort of outbreak in the United States. Considering that the USA has the most cases in the world, it’s selfish of us to continue exploiting the world’s cheap labor at the cost of so many lives.
Build that wall. Deport all illegals. No exceptions.
yes population density is a big factor in this.
While the liberals would prefer us all to live in congested cities, in big apartment buildings, this virus outbreak shows up some advantages to living in suburban or small town/rural areas, doesn’t it?
I wonder if this virus will have long term impacts on where people live, and where businesses locate.
How many who live in New York City, need to live there for work? What is unique to New York? The performing arts? OK, so opera singers and ballet dancers and Broadway actors/actresses may need to live there for their work.
Is there any reason why people in publishing need to have an office in Manhattan? While the publishing business has a major center in New York, do all of the employees need to be physically located at an office building in Manhattan? And thus need to live in NYC to get to work everyday?
Do stockbrokers who work on Wall Street need to be physically there in order to do their work trading stocks and bonds????
I could imagine that this virus, combined with New York City being such as expensive place to live and do business, could encourage people and businesses to relocate to smaller cities, which will almost certainly feature cheaper living cost and lower costs of doing business.
And the same could happen in other cities too.
What you sow, so shall you reap
It’s related to the presence or absence of major research universities nearby.
Add the super crowded, congested MTA subway trains in New York City. Best way to spread any air borne disease.
And many dont want to speak the english language
Wait a minute, Jennifer Franken-Ruben-Stein told us that it would be people in Republican districts that would suffer the most by the Chinese virus.
Are we now supposed to just forget that boast made by Franken-Ruben-Stein?
Can I get a big, “Well, uh duh.”
Uh NO ……..
