New York is not a coronavirus model for U.S.

If New York is going to be held up as the model, every officeholder in the country has a new road map for handling the virus:
See a significant percentage of residents of your largest city get infected,
barely prevent your hospital system from getting overwhelmed,
implement a policy that increases infections and deaths at nursing homes,
suffer more than 30,000 deaths and a higher per-capita death rate than any country in the world — and then, after all that, get hailed as a hero.
