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

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

I do **plenty** of media criticism when warranted and there are questions to ask about coronavirus coverage but if your take right now is "actually, this is the media's fault as much as the government's" then you should probably sit this story out. — PolitiTweet.org
