I checked NYC health dept. page. ~10.5K people were confirmed positive for the virus. The other 5K or so were assumed to be positive.
NYC had an estimated population of 8.4M in 2018.
Here is a link to their health dept.

Those assumed cases tend to mess up the science. But it is what it is. I just hope it is the best data available.
