This is a silly critique. Blaming "pundit-world" for NYC's problems? Most of the data suggests that NYC residents were more alert to risks & doing voluntary social distancing sooner than most places. But voluntary is not enough. Mayor was slow to respond. Federal leaders slower. — PolitiTweet.org

Look at the catastrophe unfolding in NYC. It will soon be perhaps the worst hit place globally, and it's not a coin… https://t.co/cmLzuQUGbd

But if you sweep COVID-19 under the rug it stays under the rug for like ... maybe 2 or 3 days! Then the bill comes due. Then another bill comes due in another 3 days, which is double what the first bill was. And then another bill 3 days later that is quadruple the first bill. — PolitiTweet.org

NYC is dense. It's social. It has a lot of people who travel a lot from all around the world. Those may also have been factors—a lot more likely than "pundit-world". That said, the initial sparks that trigger outbreaks in some places but not others may be somewhat random. — PolitiTweet.org
