Narrative will, of course, be that NY’ers should just mask harder, lock down more, yet it’s obvious the higher numbers are correlated with areas in which people don’t have the privilege to work from their couch.

NY’s vaccine system is great...for English-speaking people who know how to use the internet and can move quickly to get appointment. Dark red areas experiencing spikes right now are filled with elderly immigrants who don’t know about Turbovax. Need a better system to reach them.
My mom lives in one of those (older, super immigranty) dark red neighborhoods. There is no way she would have gotten vaccinated without my help.
And yes, of course, these neighborhoods might have higher rates because people without symptoms aren't getting tested since, again, we use an absurd metric that relies on healthy people getting tested.

Yes, Brooklyn parts testing way less than, say, Manhattan. I've written about this before: nypost.com/2020/10/05/cuo…
