NEW YORK — The five boroughs of New York have emerged as the epicenter of the coronavirus pandemic in America. Worst case is that millions of people in New York City are infected and that a 100,000 or more could die. If we can avoid the crush happening at once on our medical system, and slow this down, even if ultimately, most of us do get the virus, the medical system will be able to care for most of us. We have the best, in my opinion, big city public health system, best health department in the world. And you know, we’ve been through a lot in New York City.
