New York City is the most populous city in the United States, with an estimated 8,336,817 people living in the city, according to U.S. Census estimates dating July 1, 2019[18] (up from 8,175,133 in 2010; 8.0 million in 2000; and 7.3 million in 1990).[17] This amounts to about 40% of New York State's population and a similar percentage of the metropolitan regional population. New York's two key demographic features are its population density and cultural diversity. The city's population density of 26,403 people per square mile (10,194/km²), makes it the densest of any American municipality with a population above 100,000.[20] Manhattan's population density is 66,940 people per square mile (25,846/km²), highest of any county in the United States.[21][22]

New York City is multicultural. About 36% of the city's population is foreign-born,[23] one of the highest among US cities. The eleven nations constituting the largest sources of modern immigration to New York City are the Dominican Republic, China, Jamaica, Guyana, Mexico, Ecuador, Brazil, Haiti, Trinidad and Tobago, Colombia, Russia and El Salvador.[24]

Ayn Rand would say, you did not listen to Gates 2015 pep talk about how all going to be goners if you do not make personal preparations and get your own ventilator now, on the cheap and solely yours, by virtue of the fact you are smart enough to read the tea leaves and make the necessary sacrifices to preserve your health, while others squander their money on consequential frivolity.
