If I understood the article, what Kristof is saying, is that as bad as Flint appears to be for children, there are a lot of places as bad, or worse, that are getting no press at all.<p>Testing for elevated level of lead in children:<p><pre><code>   o Flint - 4.9% 
   o New York State (outside of NYC): 6.7%
   o Pennsylvania: 8.5%
   o Westside Detroit: 20%
   o Iowa: 32%
</code></pre>
If these figures are true (and one hopes that the NYT fact checked these numbers), and are comparable, it seems like what&#x27;s happening in Flint is just the tip of the iceberg.
