New York has reported 92,770 COVID-19 cases as of this writing.
Why has the outbreak hit New York so much harder than other places? Mainly because of its density and population, health experts said. The New York metro area is the largest metro area in the world by urban landmass (3,450.2 square miles). It also includes New York City, the most populous city in the U.S. (8.398 million people as of July 1, 2018.)
Experts warn that New York is the epicenter for now, but Covid-19 will not stop there.
