- interestica 6y agoI think the point is that treating the USA as some sort of unified region for statistical purposes is in itself problematic.
- saalweachter 6y agoThe thing that worries me about NYC statistics is that they're awful, and we now have serum tests that indicate that -- at best -- we're about 1/3 of the way through. (Current serum tests indicate 20-25% of NYC has caught it, current R0 estimates indicate that 70-85% would need to catch it for it to burn itself out without any additional measures.) This puts reasonable estimates of "how bad can it get?" at north of 5000 deaths per million, if we don't properly contain it. This, really, is the new information we're getting out of US numbers.

There are other place also doing poorly, some as badly as NYC, maybe a little better, maybe a little worse, but right now, until someone screws up worse, NYC is currently in the running for "worst COVID-19 death rate in a major city".
