NYC can restart

Key take away from the article

====

If COVID-19’s IFR is 1%, this implies that 20% of New Yorkers already contracted
the virus and most of these people survived. If the infection fatality rate is 0.5%,
this implies that 40% of New York City is already immune to COVID-19. Finally,
if the Santa Clara County study is right and COVID-19’s CFR is around 0.25%,
then this implies that 80% of New York City residents are already immune to the virus.

This means there is a non-trivial possibility that New York City
is close to achieving herd immunity.

This is a game changer for New Yorkers.

If that’s indeed the case, they can right away cancel the “stay at home”
order and literally go back to normal.
