Even as states begin to relax lockdown restrictions, no location will face the same circumstances as New York did in March.
Four months after the US recorded its first coronavirus case, New York still has nearly a quarter of US cases and 30% of the country's COVID-19 deaths.
But it's highly unlikely that any state's outbreak will rival New York's. The state was a unique victim of density and timing. New York City is one of the densest cities in the world, with more than 28,000 people per square mile. Even San Francisco, the second densest city in the US, doesn't come close. Before the pandemic, more than 5 million people in New York City took the subway each day. The city also has the largest school district in the US in terms of enrollment, with nearly 985,000 students.
Story continuesResearchers have suggested that the virus was circulating in the city as early as mid-February. When New York's statewide lockdown went into effect on March 22, there were more than 10,000 recorded cases in New York City alone. And that's only the ones confirmed by tests.
