- While in lockdown, we are still in pandemic mode, even if deaths=zero.
- Hard hit New York City already has high immunity, so he may be right there. Hard to guess.
- In many other areas, most are still susceptible. When lockdowns are lifted, #COVID19 will resurge.

Is role of NYC's high level of immunity as controversial an idea in your field as it would appear to observers? Because it seems like media and public health discussion deflect at best, will not acknowledge that prevalence of immunity is or could be a factor. Political?

Hi James. Not controversial. When more people have already had the infection, there are more people with immunity, which slows down the spread of the disease. What's unknown is the current % with immunity and the % needed for herd immunity.
