Chicago density is 4572 per square km
Looks like Chicago and Stockholm are better comparisons.
Population
Chicago 2.7 million
Stockholm 974 thousand
Deaths
Chicago 461
Stockholm 897
Per person looks like 4 times as many people died but still looks like a very small portion of total populations.

Maybe FDR shouldn't have made a big deal out of it; it was, after all, a very small portion of the US' total population.

@eladar saidPopulation density and the basic reproduction number are obviously related. It does not follow from this that non-medical interventions such as social distancing are not required. If you want some promising news, here's a story about a potential vaccine:
Population density
Islo 1400 per square km
Stockholm 4800 per square km
Population density and covid deaths, is there a connection?
