In April of 2020, before the lockdown, 21% of NYC residents had already been infected and recovered (and didn't know it) as evidenced by a study of antibodies in a sampling of people in grocery stores.
So now, 16 months later, what percentage of NYC residents have natural immunity? It has to be higher than 21%, right?
From the April 2020 article:
About 3,000 people were checked at grocery stores and big box stores in 19 counties during the testing program, which began over the weekend. A total of 13.9% of the tests were positive, Cuomo said.
The largest share of positive antibody results was concentrated downstate. Over 21% of those tested in New York City were positive as were 16.7% of those tested on Long Island and 11.7% in Westchester and Rockland counties.
Actually, it was already spreading in NYC, up through the Capital Region in late December. I worked with a couple of people who had that one "blood red" eye that antibiotics didn't work on. Finally, both went on steroids to get rid of it. ER physicians were also reporting an uptick in unusual types of pneumonia. I consider myself lucky that I take zinc, quercitin, C and D3 to protect myself from the flu, since I worked closely with these people while they were sick.
Time for some science.
