It's been talked about, and loosely assigned to:
- people in NY being indoors more, with HVAC circulating virus droplets
- entombing patients in ventilators for a month, killing them
- SF and LA getting 50,000 airline passengers from China per week, thus contributing to herd immunity.
- hansthehorse 6y agoMy theory was that people who work in NYC commute via very crowded public transportation versus those on the west coast mostly driving alone to work. This gave a huge head start to the virus.
- redis_mlc 6y agoSure, but flu season in the US is usually the winter, when most people are indoors.
