Any attempt to blame fatalities solely on population density is going to run into problems the moment they look at Southeast Asia.

Please. That's not what I said.

I said that there was a measurable connection between them. Any epidemiologist will acknowledge this.

The point is that it could be seen and measured in this case. But when they attempted to find a connection between shutting down early or late (in the USA), no effect was found. The point being, the shocked horror that people already "forgot" the lessons learned last month is silly if that lesson wasn't learned and wasn't even true. The claim could do with some actual evidence.

And I'm not even saying it's not true. I'm just saying this is the only attempt I've seen to actually analyze it, and it came up the opposite way. Can you point me to anything that shows the claim is true?

New York City alone is #6 on the worldwide ranking for confirmed cases in countries.

And? How does that relate to my comment?
