According to the Johns Hopkins Coronavirus Resource Center, New York City is ground zero for the China Virus infestation in the United States of America. As of March 22, 2020 (at 4:40 p.m. EST), the state has 12,323 confirmed cases and 76 deaths.
Why might this be? What’s the cause of this? There are 735,000 Chinese living in New York, with the majority living near New York City.
