I only see the first paragraph and a notice telling me to create an account to continue.
If this is what u mean U saw, "Log in or create a free New York Times account to continue reading in private mode.", then u could be in a private browsing-mode, and hence u could not go further than first para.
Edit: spelling
You pay with your privacy.
If you create an account the corona virus articles are free.
if you block third party scripts (from nyt.com in this case) it just shows the whole article
