I'm quite confused at people who persist in arguing that #COVID19 has an infection fatality rate similar to that of influenza (~0.1-0.2%)
Currently, 14,800 people in New York have died
That's 0.18% OF THE ENTIRE CITY
Unless 100% are infected, it's not as low as 0.1-0.2%

The 14,800 people is for the state of New York which has a population of approx 19.5 million. This works out at about 0.07%.

Not according to the JHU dashboard. They have separate counts for Westchester, Suffolk county, Nassau etc. Total number of deaths for the state is well over 20k, but for NYC is 14,877
