Not disagreeing with your basic premise, but I'm from NY and live hear Seattle now (basically a big suburb with a tiny "downtown" type area, not really a city to my mind) and they are just such different places, that it makes sense to me that transmission would be faster in NYC.

But yeah I'm pointing out something else, not comparing NYC to a rural place.

And for sure, from everything I've heard from reports and my friends in HK, they did this pretty much exactly as they should have. But without first-hand experience which we now unfortunately have, I also don't think NYers would have responded to an early lockdown.

That's being in the same boat as antivaxers, though. Wasn't the immense suffering in Wuhan not instructive? That's what I mean; there needs to be real soul-searching here.
