Any idea why New York is far above Washington and California? Just seems odd since it started on the west coast?

So a web site I was wondering through yesterday made a interesting suggestion . Regions around the world have played parts in things like this before meaning one type of person or people living in certain areas might be more susceptible to certain germs and such or others might be less likely to develop certain diseases or issues . They were pointing out how this has hit Italians so hard in Italy and then pointed out the Italian family in NJ who lost four family members and then the large number in NY. No facts mind you but it was interesting .

I mean that definitely makes the most sense. Still seems so outta whack with the numbers for other major metro areas. My thought is also that JFK is so a major thoroughfare for European air travel, that maybe it should have been closed even sooner, or that more cases came from Europe and NY took the brunt of that storm.

Yeah I think that's it, population density and NY being a major port of entry

My girlfriend finally got the work at home directive from the EPA, but the week before this past one she was riding the Metro to DC and said it was empty, there was only one other person in the car she was on. A person in the subway might have their own car by now.
