These numbers are very interesting in a variety of ways, ranging from throwing some shade on the veracity of the tests (the initial tests for positive/negative verification were performed on totals of about a dozen people);
to an expectation that the disease should really be burning itself out - and comparisons to the flu transmission rates;
to the notices that the test starts picking people up as positive at 4 days, when few people with the disease are even symptomatic yet.
And are folks who tested positive by the test even after a few weeks, actually immune to it now?
You could not design a more efficient method of infecting as many people as possible as quickly as possible than packing most of your population into subway cars twice a day.
Re: “New York City - 21.2% COVID infection rate”
Let’s do the math...
NYC Population - 8.4 million
Number of Infections - 8,400,000 X 21.2% = 1.78 million
NYC COVID Deaths - 16,388
NYC Case Fatality Rate - 16,388 divided by 1,780,000 = 0.9%
Less than 1% of COVID infected persons in NYC die.
When you factor in the fraudulent accounting process for COVID-19 fatalities, the CFR in NYC is no more deadly than a serious influenza season.
