Hong Kong is very similar to New York City but only has 453 cases and 4 deaths. What they did that worked:

"On Tuesday, California Governor Gavin Newsom said that half of the 2,102 people who had tested positive for COVID-19 in his state were ages 18 to 49. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention published data on March 18 showing that, from February 12 to March 16, nearly 40 percent of American COVID-19 patients who were sick enough to be hospitalized were ages 20 to 54. Twelve percent of patients with the most critical cases, requiring admission to an ICU, were ages 20 to 44. There are some caveats worth noting: The CDC was not able to determine whether the young people included in its report had underlying health conditions. And all of this is early data. We know that we are still not testing nearly enough people in the United States. The numbers may change.

But in spite of these alarming figures, too many young Americans have been slow to give up the false belief that they are safe from COVID-19. The day after the CDC report was released, college students began responding to a poll. Only 50 percent said that they were concerned about contracting COVID-19."

I’m Treating Too Many Young People for the Coronavirus
Americans in their 20s and 30s—no matter how healthy and invincible they feel—need to understand how dangerous this virus can be.

Why is so large range ? Why not report 18-30,30-40 etc. Basically this is misleading

If everyone practices this we should really be able to reduce the amount of spread.

Well, similar population to Manhattan, but Manhattan is almost 4x as dense as Hong Kong. You also have all the other boroughs bringing the population for NYC to almost 19M. Plus, didn’t Cuomo take a while to shut down NYC. That’s one thing that London Breed did correctly was shutting down SF early, similar to HK.

“Some people aren’t shaking hands because of Coronavirus,” read one tweet. “I’m not shaking hands because everyone is out of toilet paper.”
