As we know Tons of US Cities have been Booming this past decade and it's really sad to see all this come crumbling down due to this epidemic. Many big cities across this nation has taken a hit. New York, Chicago, Los Angeles, Philadelphia, Seattle, Atlanta, Miami, Nashville, Austin, Dallas, San Francisco, and so on and so forth.. Cities of all sizes, and no one is exempt in this case. Not to mention we have Census count and an election this year that's all hitting all at once. It's almost like a perfect storm of sorts. Just wondering opinions of how we think our American cities will weather this storm. What effect will this have on the 2020 Census count in these cities and which Cities Economies will bounce back the fastest after all is said and done.. I'm hoping for some delays with this census or we risk even more people being under counted. Over all though, our American people, health, safety and livelihood comes first!
The total number of US deaths has been around 13k, sadly. And could grow to 50k.
But this is not a lot of deaths, compared to many diseases and other illnesses each year, unfortunately.
I'm more worried about bad counts being taken by the census and undercounting cities, especially those with significant Black and Latino populations who are always undercounted.
My concern is that college towns will be significantly undercounted with so many students being away from college living at home with their parents. Yes colleges can provide information on students living on-campus, but it isn't so easy for students living off-campus. I was taking a look at downtown Savannah and the Starland District whose population is around 50% SCAD students living off-campus. The current response rate is about 25% in those Census Tracts and hasn't budged in weeks compared to a self response rate of 60% in 2010. Could be a dramatic undercount for college towns and cities with urban universities that have a lot of students living in rentals in downtown areas. Parents aren't technically supposed to count their children currently living at home that would usually be away somewhere in college right now because of COVID-19, but not sure if many even realize that. Places that come to mind are Ann Arbor, Athens, area around VCU in Richmond, Berkeley, Chapel Hill, College Station, Minneapolis around U of M, Madison, and many many others
since the reference day is 04.01.2020, boston mite lose some representatives and electorals next election since a quarter-million students wont be counted.

Yeah, they’re undercounted because, plain and simple, they don’t fill out the Census form, regardless of how much community outreach is done. People from those communities are much, much more likely than whites and Asians to break the law. Why would failing to properly fill out and submit your household’s census form be an action that is immune to chronic disobedient behavior?
Also, come on, let’s be real: Do you really think that people who paid a “coyote” to illegally enter the United States, breaking American and Mexican federal laws and jeopardizing their lives in the process, are motivated to complete a census form? Please, don’t sicken me.

Well given that 1 in every six undocumented immigrants in this country is Asian, I suppose you would be sickened by them too then? Not to mention all of the white criminals that have been illegally obtaining opiods for decades? I guess since most of them are never caught breaking American federal laws until they are dead, they are exempt from white criminality that might otherwise sicken you?
Regardless of how anyone feels about illegal immigration one way or another, people in those undocumented communities are not going to fill out census forms at the same rates for particularly obvious reasons this year. Too much uncertainty with the current administration's immigration policies - if I were in their position I doubt I'd fill one out either. People in native black communities still don't have the same level of trust in governments because of a 200+ year history of continuous state and federal level government screwjobs, both covert and overt. That isn't going to change overnight. With that being said, the undercounts have narrowed in recent censuses and the government has generally done a better job there.
But you have a history on this site of generalizing entire communities and calling them low-class and such, so this comment isn't overly surprising - it's clear you go out of your way to avoid these types of people and don't spend time in these communities (something you've even expressly admitted in past posts). However your rationale for why the census response rates are lower in these communities is incorrect - criminality is not the reason - fear is, whether it's justified or not.

MA, RI, CT, NY, NJ, PA, MD, DE and the District of Columbia seem to be accounting for roughly 2/3rds of all USA deaths from Coronavirus.
