Wealthier parts of the city, including much of Manhattan, waterfront sections of Queens and brownstone Brooklyn, have the fewest number of coronavirus cases, according to the map released by the city Department of Health.
A stark example of the wealth gap is the Rockaway section of Queens. The richest part of the peninsula that incorporates Belle Harbor where homes sell for over $1 million has at least 112 cases while Far Rockaway with its public housing complexes has up to 947 cases.
“Over time we start to see the effect of the fact that Manhattan and the inner zip codes of Queens and Brooklyn have a lower positive rate because they were able to bend the curve before the outer boroughs,” Donnelly said.
Possibly also something about a lot of service jobs that are considered essential are done by a lot more not-so-wealthy people, and a lot of wealthy people can work from home and can and have already left the city.
The big issue with the Coronavirus wont be race, sex, or LGBT sexual orientation which have been pushed by the media and academia in the past 10 years. The Coronavirus has turned academia and media upside down on the race, gender and orientation narrative. The big issue with Coronavirus will be class and society will go back to class base issue. The Coronaviurs will reignite the classwar in the West once again.
Poorer areas also have high occupancy per apartment. This obviously makes it spread faster. So you probably have at least one or multiple people in service jobs, still riding the train, and they come home and pass it to the dozen people they are living with. Of course it’s easier for wealthy Manhattanites to work from home and isolate themselves with their small family. Or I suspect a lot of wealthy fled Manhattan and if they get coronavirus it will be counted in the zip code of wherever they fled to.

Well, race is still pretty tightly coupled to economic bracket in the US and there does exist a gender paygap, but that’s not quite the same thing. I’m not sure what affect this would have in those terms for media and academia, but I do hope this somehow pushes a higher level of numeracy and scientific literacy.

Coronavirus is killing all types of people and has destroyed the economy as we know it. Of course it’s the biggest issue.
I don’t think class warfare is coming back. This destruction is so bad Trump and other Republicans were forced to expand the welfare state tremendously. They are now preparing a big infrastructure package.

Not so much offended as annoyed that you add nothing to the forum with your rants. Now if you would like to provide info regarding life in NYC or info you've gained from those who are sick or precautions the venders are taking to keep people safe or even stores that still have essentials like TP and PT - that would be helpful for many here.
Good News NY! It was estimated that by April 1st we would need 50,000 beds! Today we are at about 12,000. Keep it up! This bodes well for future "high" numbers if we keep this up

Definitely not a Cuomo fan but we have to acknowledge that NY is a world wide hub for travel and business - unlike places in many of the other states. That being said DiBlasio should have closed the schools sooner and heeded Cuomo's warnings and Cuomo should have enacted some sort of precaution for overseas flights. The majority of Florida cases came from the cruise ships and snowbirds going back down to escape the outbreak in their cities.

Yes, and I would be frankly shocked if we didn't have the most cases due to that fact. NY coulda woulda shoulda acted sooner, especially in the airports. But it's here, we gotta deal with it. We know how. Social distancing and staying home is working overall. Just keep doing that, keep hospitals from spiking.
