What's interesting is that the information the NY officials conveyed may not have been accurate for NY, but fairly accurately described SF Bay Area.
Though it looks like SF Bay Area started to get corona in December from connections in China, and it spread quietly through the population.
Calif. had too many ventilators, so donated 500 to other cities.
SF also has a busy subway system, no mention of NY-style issues here though.
- service_bus 7y agoNY subway averages almost 2 billion riders annually. SF averages 50 million. If SF had a subway system that handled 40x the amount of people you could start to draw some comparisons.
