Density is likely a major factor, I think. New Yorkers and residents of any city living in close quarters with others are very vulnerable. That is why Miami Dade has more serious problems that other places in Florida where we are more spread out. Outsiders and fear mongers suggested The Villages would be a hot spot but we generally live well apart from our neighbors, only coming together for activities or socializing, not in the day-to-day business of living. Live close: breath others' air. Live farther away: breath fresh air. Lesson: density can be deadly.
