People in New York City are getting coronavirus just sittng and self-isolating at home. 66% of hospital admissions fit that profile. Meanwhile, Japan seems to be turning the corner with very little intervention. Nothing about this makes sense to me.https://www.cnbc.com/2020/05/06/ny-gov-cuomo-says-its-shocking-most-new-coronavirus-hospitalizations-are-people-staying-home.html …

Took a break from people Japansplaining to me in the comments about how the country is on strictest lockdown to pick up some fresh bread at the corner bakery.

Occam's razor tells me these must be two different virus mutations. Japan is isolated, New York is the exact opposite. Japan is more likely to be infected from China directly where NYC, well, who knows, which variant they got if there are multiple. France...? Who knows.

We know quite a bit about the different strains of the virus. I don't think it explains what we have seen. https://nextstrain.org/ncov/global

It's the pizza! No, seriously, it's the small, multi-generational apartments that a lot of city dwellers in both Italy and NYC live in.

As opposed to the roomy apartments of Tokyo?

I thought that the Naked Man Festival back in February was going to lead to a major outbreak, but that turned out okay.

You should really bring this up with internet phrenologists and the IDW crowd. Yeah... what is it about white people and their culture that disproportionately harms them and even kills minority residents so much.... :-P

Wild guess: there's a gene prevalent in the Italian population that makes you particularly vulnerable to coronavirus, or a great carrier, or both. A lot of people in New York are of Italian ancestry.
