New York state has 1485 Covid19-deahts per 1 million inhabitants (per 21.5.2020)
That means: over 0.1% of total population died just because of Covid 19
Then comes new Jersey with 1222
Then Connecticut with 1005...
In Europe, there are many countries of comparable population, yet none comes even near 0,1% Covid-death rate in the overall population....

How come that New York and New jersey were affected so badly?

A bunch of reasons including....


1. Their were more flights arriving in NY in January that originated from China than anywhere else in the country. So the Chinese were literally bringing the virus to JFK, Laguardia, and Newark airports.

2. New York has one of the densest populations in the world.

3. The culture in NY is such that people are together. Bars, clubs, restaurants, and times square.

4. The shutdown orders came later than elsewhere.

Democrat run the governments contributed to the problem. Cuomo's decision to seed nursing homes with covid patients to bring up the death rate to make Trump look bad is a major cause of the death rate. The media has blood on its hands for being complicit in the murder of our elders. And there is the density of the population.

This. The nursing home issue was a big percentage of the deaths.

Lots of neglect in the hospitals. And failure to put orders in place to protect the patients.

Nursing homes contributes to much of the problem.

I don't understand what Cuomo's nursing home order has to do with Trump.

It has nothing to do with Trump. For some reason the media tries convincing everyone that he is responsible for N.Y. numbers. What do we, idiots, understand about cause and effect?

Inflation of the numbers led to more federal funding, so there was motivation... (Whether neglecting patients or labelling all deaths as covid deaths...)

I already asked this question. All the bunch of reason stated in amother plum's post don't account for a per capita death of approximately 10 times the amount of the deadliest countries.

It's not 10 times, only 2-4 times...

Nursing homes account for about 50% of deaths in most countries.
How was the rate in New York?

It's simple. He wanted people to die so it looks bad for Trump. Or, the seniors mostly vote Republican so he had them murdered. These are just two of the theories going around.

If this was the only reason then why does New Jersey have such a high per capita death rate?

Is it because of late intervention?
Ignoring the disease while it was spreading quietly during 1-2 month?

Or is the subway system to blame?

In certain low income areas,namely the Bronx, people are packed Into tiny apartments. These same people took the subway and went to low paying jobs.

Nothing. The general feeling I get when I scroll through the news is that Trump did everything wrong and Cuomo does everything right. No matter the story everything is written to convince you of the above.

The death per number infected is lower in New York than in the heavily effected European countries.

So another way to answer your question is - the virus spread more in NY and NJ than elsewhere.
