Coronavirus Deaths

Looking at the age and gender breakdown of towns in New York, it would seem like the places that will ultimately see the greatest number of deaths from Coronavirus, as percentage of the population in New York is the rural towns in Central Adirondacks (Old Forge, Blue Mountain Lake, Newcomb) and Eastern Catskills (Hunter, Windham, Shandaken).

Those towns have the greatest number of people over age 75 in New York and tend to be more male than female. Plus those communities are popular for tourists and second home owners and it really only takes one asymptomatic carrier to spread it the whole town. They’re really in cross hairs.
