It's looking like some neighborhoods in NYC are on the verge of herd immunity.
Some other bits from the article:
Gee. Who would have thunk it. Stay at home orders don't work well preventing the spread of disease in densely populated areas.
Hmm...the unknown didn't stop these guys from making actionable public health decisions before which effected millions of people. What has suddenly changed?

Some other bits from the article:
There are reasons parts of Queens were hit so hard. Homes in Elmhurst and parts of Corona are especially crowded — the highest rate of household crowding in the city, according to census bureau data from 2014. Given that transmission among family members is a leading driver of the disease’s spread, it is unsurprising that crowded households have been associated with higher risk of infection.
Gee. Who would have thunk it. Stay at home orders don't work well preventing the spread of disease in densely populated areas.
But scientists say it would be a mistake to base public health decisions off antibody rates across a population.
“Just looking at seroprevalence alone can’t really be used to make actionable public health decisions,” Dr. Rasmussen, the virologist at Columbia, said.
