Are you joking. That would affect speed of transmission. As long as medical capacity does not get over loaded, there is no reason the lethality in terms of deaths per million should be affected by that. Please explain how the virus living in a particular person decides to become more lethal because said person lives in a densely populated area.

The virus isn't more lethal, it simply has more opportunities to infect people. You aren't being very logical about this....

You literally are lost. We are talking rates, not total numbers. So yes, it has been more lethal. Which is illogical from the perspective of the virus, so it has to be the behavior directed toward the virus of that population.

The news must be thirteen years behind where you live.

Do you really think Cuomo will replace Biden on the Dems' ticket or are you just rattling the bars on your cage this morning?

Odds are SOMEbody will replace him.

Who do you prefer in that event - Hillary or Cuomo?

It's not 5 - 10 times more dense, they were an outlier's outlier. NYC had more cases and deaths than entire European countries. Every one of the cities I stated have international flights, mass public transportation, and very dense populations, with less than 1/3 the cases on a per capita basis.

I was responding to this quote. It appeared that you were suggesting a targeted approach was unfeasible or impractical.

I was posting here in some chats back and forth previously that this would be the issue with the idea of targeted lockdown / protecting the most at risk. How do you actually do it? I think it will prove very difficult to isolate only a portion of a population.

I'd add NYC doesnt even make the top 25 of population density for cities in the world.

You are the one railing against numbers of deaths. What a stupid thing to worry about given the fact there is no end of the virus in sight and certainly no vaccinations ready. You are trying to prove a point in your political agenda and you are frustrated by simple logic. The denser an area is, the greater your chances for being exposed to a disease. Given the work that Stanford has done regarding rate of COVID-19 infection, it is possible up to 4 million people NYC would test positive for this virus. That number will result in a higher number of deaths.

Good grief, again, we are not talking total deaths. We are talking rates. And their' rate makes no sense in comparison to everyone else's.

It speaks to mismanagement.

If I am a 90% free throw shooter, I'm still going to hit close to 90% of my shots whether I'm taking 100 shots or 1000 shots.

If a virus has a certain mortality rate, it is going to kill a certain percentage of people, whether it is Peoria, Ill or NYC.

If I lived in NY and was drawing $800 a week for being laid off, I would find a less dense place to ride it out.

... annnd there it is . I watch all sheeple running around in their little cage screeching about how overcrowded they are , dying from something that can be passed on through a sneeze and yet they kept they subways running telling the rest of us we just don’t understand . It’s almost as if all the exits are blocked up and there’s no ways out . I have suggested that but I don’t think it’s happened yet .
