I know the point is to avoid getting COVID but... the hospitals in NYC, even in a crisis, are SO much better than they are out in the Hamptons (and other non-urban areas). It's night and day in terms of quality and resources.
I purposefully stayed in [other big city] for this reason, rather than going home. Seems very short-sighted to leave if you're that concerned.

You can do outdoor activities and stay healthy with very very little chance of getting infected. Someone who lives in NYC.

- cobbzilla 6y agoon the con side, NYC has been hit the worst and has the lowest % of available hospital beds. the ideal plan would be to leave NYC for [other big city with good hospitals & low infection rate].
- scott_s 6y agoI don't think that's the primary reason people leave. They leave because the entire point of paying a lot of money to live in a nice part of Manhattan is all of the fun stuff they can do in Manhattan. The amount of space that gets you in Manhattan is much less than most other places. They can't do that stuff anymore, and they're stuck in their own space. So they leave to a place where they can have more space.
