- Population density threshold from the article: 175/sq mi
- Santa Clara county: 1,400/sq mi
- New York City: 27,016/sq mi
- San Francisco: 17,246/sq mi

I believe that suburban population density still can provide significant advantage in infection rates/population loss over urban areas with extreme population density, despite being 10x the threshold for the last pandemic.
I guess we'll get access to that data pretty soon.
