re: COVID was smeared all over Metro-NYC for weeks and weeks... 1/10 of 1% death rate?

175000 cases out of which 18000 have died in NYC. Your numbers are misleading.
My point is fair. NY Area residents were smeared with COVID sheddings day in and day out - week after week.
If this virus were as deadly as touted, millions would be dead in the NYC area.
And look at Cuomo's antibody study. Close to 21% contracted COVID in NYC - and close to 13% in the state.
And most NYC deaths were end-of-life Seniors and other people with serious health issues

Based on emerging published (mostly pre-print) antibody research, basically all of these current estimates are too high. However, the 13% for NY state probably isn't too far off, given how hard they have been hit. Using the 13% infected number produces an IFR of 1%, which is basically inline with current estimates and that gives a bit more validity to the 13%.
