https://mol.im/a/8250385 (1/2) This is moderately good news. It means that the deaths so far in NYC are only 0.5% of the infected population, although there are many home deaths uncounted and many currently infected who will die, so 1% may be a realistic worst-case estimate.

You had to consent to be tested for antibodies right? I think people who think they already had it, would be more likely to agree to that. Based on that, I feel like this is overcounting, especially when you look at deaths to infections.

Good point. The samples were taken in grocery stores. It's also possible that the people who think they already had it would shop more frequently/less online and more likely to show up in the sample.

Yeah. Either way, poor sampling means this has limited application beyond thr population tested. Still an interesting data point.
