West coast handled this better, and I am a deranged Cuomo hater, BUT, there& #39;s probably some big variable lowering the west coast death toll that doesn& #39;t involve gov& #39;t decisions (climate, flight patterns, built environment, etc.), so they should maintain some humility https://twitter.com/elizashapiro/status/1249714392373100545">https://twitter.com/elizashap...

The virus has been circulating in the US for months, but key decisions were made within days of each other on both coasts. I don& #39;t know what the missing variable here is (although I& #39;d bet weather), but there& #39;s clearly something more here than shutdowns coming a few days too late
