Preliminary results from antibody testing in New York state found a 13.9 percent infection rate, officials announced Thursday.
People who test positive are believed to have had COVID-19 in the past. Some patients with the new disease, caused by the CCP (Chinese Communist Party) virus, never show symptoms and have no idea they were infected.
Preliminary results from 3,000 tests carried out across 19 New York counties found 13.9 percent of those tested have antibodies against COVID-19. But that figure climbed to 21.2 percent in New York City and dropped to 3.6 percent in counties outside the city, Long Island, and Westchester and Rockland counties.
The percent positive on Long Island was 16.7 percent and 11.7 percent in Westchester and Rockland counties combined.
Forty three percent of those tested were in New York City, 14.4 percent were on Long Island, 9.8 percent were in Westchester and Rockland counties, and 32.8 percent of them were in the rest of the state.
People were tested at grocery stores and box stores. The sample was by definition people that were outside the home, Gov. Andrew Cuomo said.
If the infection rate is 13.9 percent, then it changes the theories of what the death rate is if you get infected, Cuomo told reporters in Albany.
Extrapolating the results would mean 2.7 million people in the state have been infected with the CCP virus, a novel coronavirus that emerged from mainland China last year. With about 15,500 current fatalities linked to COVID-19 in New York, the death rate, or mortality rate, would be 0.5 percent.
That extrapolation comes with two caveats: the results from antibody testing are preliminary and the number of deaths dont include those that died at home, Cuomo said.

And falling like a rock —
and 20% with infection that we know of and still not an overwhelming of the hospital. This combined with the death in California in late January / Early February —> ITS JUST THE FLU bro...but dont tell the Fearpers.
Public transportation. They kept the subways running while this disease was at its peak. Is it any wonder that New York City has more cases than pretty much the rest of the country combined?
But theyll blame Trump.
Coronavirus = scam.
What day were the samples collected? Did they report that?
Indeed.

13.9% is actually about 1 in 7.
1 in 5 would be 20%, 1 in 6 would be 16.66%, 1 in 8 would be 12.5%.
Sorry, but I’m sick and tired of hearing about NYC.
Well, well, well..... (sorry if its already been said, but it’s what I said too!).
The math in this piece is wrong.
Do the CoV tests come from China? Lots were inaccurate.
No one in, no one out.
100%
The one in five refers to NYCity, which is true, per the article.
This IS an attack on our country pulled of by communist operatives that misled our President.
False information spread by the MSM and "specialists" going full out to bring this country to its knees and remove our freedoms granted to us by God and penned in our constitution.
It is past time for a full out rebellion.
Well, only 3 more infection waves before population immunity. Out of your apartments peasants, you have work to do!
I don’t believe the China Virus itself is a scam, it exists but the reaction to it is purposefully destructive and purely agenda driven.
My guess is it will come out. Trump is a NYC kid and we are ALL of a suspicious nature. I don’t think he trusts Fauci or Birx and of course he is fully aware of the Fauci love letters to Hillary in 2016.
This will get interesting.
RE: The math in this piece is wrong
Please elaborate for us. Thanks
I should have clarified...the virus is real; but the rest is theater, with a strong dose of gullibility mixed in.
Arithmetic...A
Reading comprehension....C-
percent of those tested have antibodies against COVID-19. But that figure climbed to 21.2 percent in New York City
