quote from the article posted
Gov. Andrew M. Cuomo on Friday urged New Yorkers to keep the threat of virus in perspective.
"We went through this before: Zika virus, Ebola, et cetera. But let's have some connection to the reality of the situation," he said. "Catching the flu right now is a much greater risk than anything that has anything to do with coronavirus."

And I am not blaming Cuomo by the way....no one knew at that time.
Just saying the late shutdown did not do much of anything that would not have happened otherwise.

The Chinese New Year
The number of cases per 100k people is an important indicator for comparing States with different policies and safety measures.
NY was hit hard and very early before there were some of the more effective medicines and procedures to save lives. NY also is a hub for international travel and was infected from Europe, not China, as was most of this nation.
Not true. People in the NYC meto area were not quarantined by state. Also, many Chinese went to NYC
area for the Chinese New year
Check your facts:
The date for the Chinese New Year was January 25th. If we knew what Trump knew at that time, we would have taken action earlier. The peak in NY was late March/ April. The first case identified in NY was on March 1 by a healthcare worker travelling from Iran who was heavily infected. On March 7th, Cuomo declared a "state of emergency" with 89 confirmed cases. Schools were closed on March 14th, public buildings were closed plus theatres, concert venues and nightclubs and restaurants were closed. On March 17th, On March 20th, all non-essential businesses were closed down. Masks and social distancing were mandated. There was a statewide stay-at-home order. It has been determined that the mutation of the coronavirus in NY was overwhelmingly from the European variant.

"Chinese New Year celebrations, also known as the Spring Festival, in China start on the 23rd day of the 12th lunar month of the Chinese calendar. The festival lasts for about 23 days, ending on the 15th day of the first lunar month in the following year in the Chinese calendar."
Jan 25 plus 23days.. where does that get you? All that time to spread the virus. It wouldn't take many Chinese to infect NYC.

It is now getting the point of ridiculousness here in Austin MSA.
As of tonight update, 74 now people in the hospital out of a population of over 2 million, and likely most of them "with Covid" and not "because of" it, and yet the mayor refuses to drop the mask order.
