What's happening in New York City is heartbreaking, but most Americans don't live there. And we need to do what's right for us.
The nation has been in lockdown for more than 30 days, and the toll on human life has been much higher in some parts of the country than others. The virus has been especially hard on New York City and the surrounding area, where the losses have been staggering. And heartbreaking.
It's a tragedy, and Americans across the country weep. New York City is our nation's real capital, and certainly our cultural capital. It's where we all go to experience the theater, the arts, museums, restaurants and so much more. It is, as the saying goes, the greatest city in not just America but the world.
Compare those numbers to the death rates of other populous states, like Florida , California , and Texas . Thirty-five of the 50 states have a death rate of five or under per 100,000 citizens. Most of our nation's biggest cities have radically different outcomes, too: Los Angeles has six deaths per 100,000 people, San Diego and San Francisco are at two. Dallas and Houston are also at two deaths per 100,000, proving that population density alone does not explain the lethality of this virus.
But what distinguishes New York City from even most of the other big cities in the nation is the sheer dependence on mass transit to get around. More than 5.8 million people cram into the city's subway every single day. An additional 1.8 million more board buses for their daily commutes. Millions more travel on trains and buses from the suburbs.
