Why has NYC fared So Poorly in the Pandemic?
Is it too soon to start asking WTF went wrong in New York City? Per capita deaths in NYC are almost 15X the rest of the country, and are even over 4X greater than Italy and Spain. Is it population density? The subway system? The international airports? Cuomo packing sick patients into nursing homes? DeBlasio telling New Yorkers that they should go on like business as usual? A combination of everything? Washington loves creating special committees. One of the most advanced cities on the planet just had a public health response that would embarrass most 3rd world countries. It seems like getting to the bottom of why that happened would be a worthwhile thing to do.
