Above 20% in NYC.

0.6% mortality with the crowded inner cities bearing the brunt.

more than 21 percent of roughly 1,300 new york city residents tested as part of a state study had antibodies linked to covid-19, governor andrew cuomo revealed thursday during a press conference.

According to the preliminary results of the survey, 21.2 percent of those tested in nyc had antibodies, compared with 16.7 percent on long island, and 11.7 percent in westchester and rockland counties. In the rest of the state, just 3.6 percent of those tested had been infected and recovered from the disease.

Statewide, nearly 14 percent in the sample of 3,000 people tested positive for the antibodies.

Extrapolating these infection rates to the broader population, that would mean that more than 2.6 million people in the state and more than 1.7 million people in new york city have already been infected with coronavirus.

“This basically quantifies what we’ve been seeing anecdotally and what we have known but it puts numbers to it,” Cuomo said.

He also argued that it could support different policies in different parts of the state.
