Some things are hard to replicate outside big cities. There's probably a restaurant from every country in the world in London. I tried Guyanese food last week, a cuisine I'm unlikely to encounter outside a big city. There are great museums and art galleries. There are flights to every place I'd ever want to go.

So personally no plans to move to a less densely populated area.

Very interesting. Seems like a more sophisticated version of https://mostrecommendedbooks.com/

It's really hard to get cooperation of that scale for pretty much anything. You're asking billions of humans to self isolate for two weeks.

If we were dealing with Ebola it would have been easier to get people to self-isolate. But with a disease that has a 1-2% IFR it's going to be a lot harder to get that level of compliance. I agree that certain nations could have isolated better though.
