A statewide antibody study found that 21.2% of New York City residents have been infected with the coronavirus, Gov. Andrew Cuomo said on Thursday.
The study tested 3,000 New York residents statewide at grocery and big-box stores for antibodies that indicate whether someone has had the virus. Overall, it found that 13.9% of New York state residents had been infected.
The highest rates of past infections occurred in and around New York City, which has been the epicenter of the US outbreak. In Long Island, 16.7% tested positive, and in Westchester and Rockland counties, 11.7% tested positive. In the rest of the state, just 3.6% tested positive.
"What we found so far is that the statewide number is 13.9% tested positive for having the antibodies," Cuomo said. "They were infected three weeks ago, four weeks ago, five weeks ago, six weeks ago, but they had the virus, they developed the antibodies and they are now recovered."

>Herd immunity, anyone? It's people who are going out and willing to hang out in a big box store in the middle of all of this, and spend extra time there, around strangers, to get tested. So basically there's a massive selection bias there. I know Republicans and conservatives don't want to hear this, but this is how science works. I know Republicans and conservatives don't LIKE science, but these are the facts.
Also a large percentage of those people will be testing positive in a PREsymptomatic phase. Note not A-symptomatic by PRE-symptomatic, as in they are in a prodromal phase and will develop the COVID-19 illness within the coming days

Can they look for specifically covid19 antibodies? Or are we talking about random cold and flu as well?
