You can't just take numbers and multiply them like that.

What about average age? Number of icu beds? Effect of temperature/humidity on the virus? Population density? &c. There are so many variables

The point is that either these numbers are not accurate, or that there are crucial differences between LA and NYC. Either conclusion is interesting.
