The fact that this is how you decided to respond is further proof of the country’s dysfunction. The winner will not be your perspective; we are all losing it together.

It's not a matter of perspective. NYC was clearly not prepared for a crisis, and is still not handling it on par with the rest of the country. Their dysfunction does not reflect the rest of the country, of which the majority is not handling the crisis in a dysfunctional manner.

I haven't been following all the numbers but one ironic thing about this is that it might be that a city like New York that ordinarily does pretty well in terms of public health has fallen down, but California's cities, which are a medieval nightmare of public health in a lot of ways, seem to have locked things down fairly well.

(I have some suspicions about that, like cases in the homeless population being underrepresented in the data at this stage, but we'll see)
