    We won't see that elsewhere so number of infections isn't a problem in my opinion. Its the only true way forward.
    But we have seen that elsewhere.

    Wait, is that THE Alex Berenson, the genius author of Tell Your Children: The Truth About Marijuana, Mental Illness and Violence, wherein we learn that weed causes you to go crazy and commit murder? NOW I care what he says, why didn't you say so...

    But I was told Alex Berenson is the epitome of freedom. A regular John Adams as it were.

    You guys need to stop attacking the messenger. He has an important contrarian point of view that needs to be heard.

    No, I dismissed his actual disinformation because it was verifiably wrong.

    But I just wanted you know that I am very glad you shared with us his deep thought on "psychiatry" because he is very clearly a well versed man on that subject.

    wouldnt the fact he knows nothing about psychiatry be a point in his favor...his wife btw is a forensic psychologist...i bet you didnt know that...please ignore it since it potentially undercuts my first point

    Didn't see this posted. Cuomo announced the completed antibody tests.

    https://www.governor.ny.gov/news/ami...tibody-testing

    NYS: 12.3%
    NYC: 19.9%
    LI: 11.4%
    Westchester/Rockland: 13.8%

    At least Cuomo has appeared to be making a good faith effort during this crisis.

    Whereas the Trump response is MIA and AWOL.

    By my count that is a 1.09% IFR for NYC based on the Confirmed/Probably Numbers. Adjust as you will based on excess deaths or reporting lag.

    the 1.09% is probably a little high

    last weeks reading on antibodies was a bit higher...samples will fluctuate up and down a little

    But at the same time it seems increasingly likely that the IFR is in the 0.5-1.0% ranges. Some places will be in the high end due to having an older population or one with more pre-existing conditions, or if their hospitals get overwhelmed.

    Can't imagine living without the butt spray, although I resisted it at first.
