This could be a different story a year from now, where NY ripped the band-aid off and achieved herd immunity long before SF, and SF took a much longer time resulting in a longer economical slump and still similar deaths over a longer period of time.

I'm not saying it will be that way, but it's worth considering.

And even that could be skewed by the more at risk populations fleeing for the relative safety of the suburbs and then dying there.

That's not what happened during the 1918 Flu: https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2020/04/03/upshot/corona...

Why do people keep linking to cnn.com? You don't think they have an agenda of their own?

Link to something a bit more credible.
