It would not be ruled as a significant factor leading to death in many of those cases, and for the rest, NYC residents might be more at risk due to higher average viral dose (subways). Also there is a lag in IgG antibody production, the test has imperfect sensitivity, and some portion of exposed people may never develop detectable antibodies. Some of these confounding variables are probably baked into the estimate.

- guscost 7y agoI think so, but I'm not an expert. See discussion: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=22958660 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=22958660
