TLDR: Three rural cities.
Given some basic assumptions about the distribution of case rates, it's not at all surprising that a few cities from that fairly large set happen to exceed NYC.
Nothing to see here.

- downerending 6y agoGood grief. I bet the number of murders in NYC dropped more than in Paducah during all this as well. Let's hear it for New York! :-P Particularly shameful coming from Pew, who I think of as one of the last fairly neutral sources.
- strictnein 6y agoFor a while now there has been a concerted effort to find another bad hotspot to focus media attention on. First it was Florida, which was going to be far worse than Italy. Then it was Georgia, because they were opening far too soon. Now I guess they're just saying "Rural".
