Bronx now has more cases than Manhattan. I can't help but wonder if this is because more working class (can't WFH) in Bronx than Manhattan.

In other words, I expect that the Bronx has a higher share of employees considered essential who have to go to work than Manhattan does where many can WFH.

I don't have the proof, but this goes to the point Dawson's been making about the haves and have nots playing out gain via this virus situation.

(The population of Manhattan is about 13-14% higher than The Bronx)
