Why has there not been a significant spike in COVID hospital admittance/ICU/death in NYC over the last few weeks?
It made perfect sense why NYC was the epicenter at the outset - dense population, subways/mass transit, highrises with elevators....perfect storm.
Now that the city has started to re-open, combined with the large gatherings of protesters in close quarters, I cannot square why there has not been the same type of huge blow up as we have seen in FL & TX.
I have not seen even one news story making that observation or exploring what NYC is possibly doing so right.
I know that social distancing and mask wearing has been much more adhered to in the northeast- I live in Bucks County, PA, right across the river from Mercer Co. and everyone is in full effect following all guidelines, but it still doesn’t square the circle. Young people everywhere want to go to bars & play the get down game (including New York), the protests were rampant in NYC with social distancing and mask wearing not the focus and the demographics of the city haven’t changed from what made it so susceptible in the first place.
Somebody please help me understand without this becoming a red/blue/tool food fight.
