As if this wasn't all confusing enough, the worst hit area is named Corona: "The hardest hit ZIP code in the city — 11368 — was the one in Corona, a predominantly Hispanic neighborhood..."

As someone who lived at Corona for a few years I am not surprised as the daily exposure to number of strangers for the residents is probably also one of the highest. The neighborhood is composed of mostly people who cannot work from home (restaurant workers and delivery agents who work in Manhattan). It has a very close proximity to the crowded 7 train and relatively cheap rent in the surrounding area.
Edit: grammar.

Like we needed any more proof that we live in a simulation.

That is a co-incidence due the name Corona meaning crown in Latin as well as Spanish along with the zip code being populated with folks presumably in sectors where WFH is not possible.
"From corona (“crown-like circle of light appearing around the sun”) + virus.[1][2] Corona is derived from Latin corōna (“garland, wreath; crown”), from Ancient Greek κορώνη (korṓnē, “something curved; curved stern of a ship; end, point, tip”), from Proto-Indo-European *(s)ker- (“to bend, turn”). The name refers to the characteristic appearance of its virions by electron microscopy, which have a fringe of surface projections creating an image reminiscent of a solar corona.[3] Compare the former genus name Coronavirus."
