Population size/density especially with respect to NYC, a liberal stronghold with poor democrat leadership, high rates of obesity, and overall poor health of the populace through bad diet and sedentary lifestyle (that they’ve chosen to live). On top of that A LOT of Chinese immigrants and tourism bolstering the infection rate.
Oh this is simply ignorant. Have you lived in NYC? I have (right in Manhattan). Try this for “logical” reasoning:
- NYC is (arguably) the financial center/centre for US (World) Financial markets
- NY area (counting bout JFK and EWR) receives hundreds of flights out of Europe everyday
- Europe had widespread circulation of the virus a few weeks before US east coast
- NYC is a dense urban area, where the community spread would be easier (than say farmland of Kansas or Manitoba)
- With the infection rate of this virus, it is little surprise that NYC has become the epicenter for US
Logical thinking will set you free. Blind adherence to the Orange Blob will not.
