Hoping the “Wuhan has 7 times NYC’s population” you’re talking about is a Province.
No city in this great big World has a population 7 times NYC.
Or it discredits the rest of the spiel...
Yep. Wuhan, the city is 11 million and the province is 60 million. 11 Million isn’t chicken feed and it IS bigger than NYC in population. NYC entirely being under some water would be catastrophic.
