Up to 2.7 Million in New York May Have Been Infected, Antibody Study Finds

Preliminary results from New York's first antibody study show nearly 14 percent tested positive, meaning they had the virus at some point and recovered, Gov. Andrew Cuomo said Thursday. That equates to 2.7 million infections statewide -- more than 10 times the state's current number of confirmed cases.

The study, part of Cuomo's "aggressive" antibody testing launched earlier this week, involves random daily tests of 3,000 New Yorkers.

New York City had a higher rate of antibodies (21.2 percent) than anywhere else in the state and accounted for 43 percent of the total tested.

Fatality rate will likely decline meaningfully..

Agreed. Any one of us who rode the subway anytime between February and March surely were surely exposed.

Nevertheless, its still good news.

Funny how last week the fatality numbers were 700 something. Now its 300. Yall still dont think they're cooking up numbers like comstat? What are the REAL numbers? To me, i don't know what to believe and all these news reports seem to be saying conflicting information.

Nevertheless, its still good news.

Now think about the people who don't take the subway but live or work with those people.
