If it's just density, why does SF have so few deaths (20), fewer than cities much less dense than SF? eg Seattle is much less dense but has 15x as many deaths as SF. There is clearly an element of chance/which sub-population was infected/timing of responses in play here.

Subway doesn’t explain why Seattle more than SF.
Basically only timing of shelter-in-place does.

This doesn't explain Staten Island. Its population density is half of San Francisco's, its population half, but has had 533 deaths vs. SF's 20.
And a sibling thread mentioned the subway; it doesn't go to Staten Island.
New York is denser than any city in California.
"New York is far more crowded than any other major city in the United States. It has 28,000 residents per square mile, while San Francisco, the next most jammed city, has 17,000, according to data from the U.S. Census Bur"
