@asymmetricinfo Did 50% of NYC get COVID at some point? I'd bet against it, but it's not crazy to think the numbers could be pretty high. — PolitiTweet.org

@asymmetricinfo People getting tested is a biased sample, but FWIW NYC's tests were ~60%+ at the peak. Also, these tests can have high-ish false negatives. And, people who get the disease will only test positive for a few weeks whereas antibody tests will pick up on whether they ever had it. — PolitiTweet.org

@asymmetricinfo The rate actually has begun to decelerate pretty quickly in NYC and the dynamics of what you'd expect to see happen given various infection rates are fairly complicated given different R0s among different subgroups, as you mention. — PolitiTweet.org
