What the fuck is wrong with new york?

You are being disingenuous. Nothing is wrong with NY. They are testing more people and thus finding more cases.
Carson Russell
Nice cope faggot.
Cuomo did nothing to slow the spread, issuing the stay at home order nearly a MONTH after CA, calling Trump racist for restricting travel from China
Oliver Johnson
Honestly if you live in a city as tightly packed as NY you deserve even more deaths. Common sense is humans were never supposed to live like that, as if they’re sardines in a can. Fucking retards.
Gabriel Johnson
>testing more and finding more
okay, but how about the deaths? hospitals are required to test every dead body that comes through before being processed
Chase Miller
Now compare population density and testing percentages
Jack Murphy
New York is a smaller state you fucking retard people are closer together NYC is one the largest densest cities in the world you sense fuck
Justin Fisher
high iq, thats what
Jonathan Wood
NY is a major tourist destination with a lot of domestic traffic, international travel, and a ridiculously huge city with people packed together like sardines.
Texas isn't any of that.
Isaac Watson
How often do you guys do laundry? I do it every two weeks. That cool, yeah? I thought lad smeone that and they were like "oh"
Dylan Edwards
okay, then why isn't Rhode Island, New Jersey, or Massachusetts anywhere close to NY numbers while having a much higher population density
density
Rhode Island: 1000 person/sqmi
New Jersey: 1200
Mass: 900
NY 400
RI: 15 cases per 100k
NJ: 51 cases
Mass: 26 cases
NY: 96 cases
Jose Gonzalez
No shit you dumb motherfucker
Jaxson Gutierrez
Cause NY population density is for the whole state not NYC, which has like 80% of the cases. More people are gonna die when you have thousands of cases per hospital.
Luis Hall
so, NYC is just full of retards (like you), gotcha
Jacob Perry
Manhattan's density is nearly 67,000 people per square mile, you mouthbreathing dumbfuck.
NYC != NY.
Grayson Phillips
Thank you
God damn man no one can figure out that being in a crowded city in a pandemic is shitty
Joseph Price
if you cant figure it out you're a nigger
Wyatt Ross
i'm moving here
Tyler Mitchell
That's one way to deal with realizing how stupid you are.
Ethan Taylor
>thinkingfaceemjoi
wonder why NJ isn't having issues...
Nolan Miller
Are you not from this area? Because Union, Bergen, and Hudson has it worse than the overall average of NYC (per thousand people).
The metropolitan area of NYC (NYC, LI, jersey city, and parts of connecticut) are THE driving factor for Covid rates in the US. Upstate NY has basically nothing, the same as the rest of NJ. You can't compare the overall people per square mile for states, and even when you compare county by county, NYC has less cases per thousand than the NJ counties within the NYC metropolitan area.
Eli Wilson
thousand cases
This is just a guess.
Nobody knows the exact number but it's likely ALOT larger than 250k.
There are possibly 55x more infected in LA than previously estimated
cnbc.com
NY is dense so possibly 60% of that state is already infected making 20000 deaths relatively low
Jayden Gonzalez
Sorry, Bergen has a lower rate. Meant Passaic.
Ryder Lee
Epidemiology facts: The basic reproduction number is dependent on the number of daily contacts you have with other people. Highly dense cities will see outbreaks first. Less dense places have outbreaks that come on more slowly. Don't feel bad, they're all on track for their fair measure of death.
Liam Cooper
>hospitals are required to test every dead body
HAHAHAHA, that's rich. The don't have enough test for the living. They are not wasting tests on the dead. You die at home or on the street, your cause of death is unknown.
Ethan Ward
or, in chicago's case, a suspiciously high rate of "respiratory illness" related deaths, and not being counted toward the total covid death rate.
We're fucking up our numbers just as much as China.
Asher Harris
How about some scientific evidence that 1 death was actually caused by the virus.
Josiah Mitchell
>They are not wasting tests on the dead.
They've started to, now that tests are more available. Retroactively revising death numbers up as a result.
Elijah Lee
NY is a much more significant hub for international travel. Nearly HALF of their population is crammed into a single city with an ungodly amount of public transportation. More of them are going to the same stores, the same schools, riding the same trains and cabs... It makes perfect sense for them to be hit way harder than a place like pic related
Ian Foster
A combination of:
A. More testing
B. Dense living.
It’s likely other places are somewhere in the middle.
At this stage I suspect there’s a lot of undetected cases elsewhere. But I’m not an expert.
Justin Miller
new york has the least deaths BECAUSE: they evolved similarly to the modern chinese and have become resistant to the virus due to new yorkers being the diseased sewer rats they are already
