      1/ Crucial points about the NYS antibody study: Other studies have shown the first wave figures understate the true prevalence by 50-100%. Thus it is quite likely the real number of infected in NYC is in the range of 3 to 3.5 million, at a minimum...

      2/ This implies an infection death rate of roughly 0.5 percent, or 1 in 200. However that figure is almost certainly overstated, for two reason. First, as @JohanGiesecke pointed out, the virus seems to spread most quickly through populations most at risk...

      4/ The fatality rate should continue to drop. Overall, the fatality rate seems to be settling in the 0.25 to 0.4% range, with the average age of death roughly 80.

          5/ Not everyone will be infected, but the US is a big country, so on a population-level basis those numbers may look big; worth remembering that in terms of life-years lost the #covid19 figures will be smaller than annual road accidents and far smaller than overdoses...

          Never let the Flat Curvers forget it. Make them confess their sins like the executioner at the end of Braveheart. They can have freedom when they admit.
