As a native New Yorker there's so much about this that bugs me.

One, talk is cheap.

Two, what happened in NYC was not destined to be, and it's an easy lie leaders and those who look down on New Yorkers love to spread. Lots of big dense cities have handled this crisis well, just like some rural areas have not. Epidemics have been devastating throughout human history.

Three, to the people who live here and see this as inevitable and would rather flee than work together and fix the issue and protect our communities - good riddance.
