Idk. NYC isn't the only the densely populated American city, yet it has vastly more cases than the next large densely populated cities. Chicago, although the epicenter of Illinois, has not even a tenth as many as NYC. Both are in cold climates(Chicago is a little colder on average).
This may say something more about Americans (especially NYC) than it does densely populated cities or metros. NYC has a known reputation of being a dirty city.
It's the US city with the highest density and greatest per capita use of public transportation.
Nobody is taking away your car or forcing you to live in a city or use public transportation.
I do think coronavirus is the end of this trend towards urbanism and walkable neighborhoods, especially since in a post-coronavirus world, the benefits of living in a dense urban area (bars, restaurants, shopping, etc) will likely be gone for a considerable period of time.
True, it's gonna be different. But that applies to all parts of life now on how we interact with each other.
The whole car/suburbia thing is a blip on human existence.
The real answer to all of this is how we prepare and react to a situation like this.
Liberals love to push how great dense urban areas are, but when you look at what's happening in NYC, it's obvious how perilous they become in terms of disease.
Captain Obvious strikes again. Population density has been a risk factor since Babylonian times.

On a global scale, I think Tokyo has the highest density. Fewer than 1,000 cases.
I take densely populated cities over suburban sprawl in the long run. Waste of space and we're not the only species that have to live on this planet. We need to scale back on capacious cities.

You're trying to compare completely different cultures which won't work.
You can be packed in like a sardine if you CHOOSE.

I have wondered why India at this time is not exploding with coronavirus. There is a densely packed, poor population in a warm environment. Perhaps it is just a matter of time. Malaysia would be expected to have problems as well.
