The first known case of COVID-19 in New York State was reported a year ago today when it was publicly announced that a woman from Manhattan was infected with the virus.
The March 1 fall began a month with an exponential increase in infections that would soon result in an unrelenting siren clap through the city and a wave of death that was later dubbed the city’s worst mass extinction in modern history. In that first month alone, 2,600 New Yorkers died as the coronavirus quietly bloomed across town. We would eventually learn that the germ had been around since the end of January after it unknowingly spilled over from Europe. Today, more than 29,000 people have died of COVID-19 in New York City, one of the hardest-hit areas in the country. The death toll disproportionately affected Black and Latino residents, who died from COVID-19 about twice as often as white residents.
