And if you don't want to buy the herd immunity concept in NYC that's fine. But, extrapolating these numbers to the population it's quite possible most people in NYC have already been infected.
This is not an attack!

Without a vaccine, for this virus, herd immunity is, as a practical matter, worthless.
