is New York City dead?

new york city . . . lives

New study of Covid seroprevalence in New York by @florian_krammer and team; finds that 1:5 New Yorkers likely already had SARS-CoV-2 by late April and the infection fatality rate in New York City was about 0.7%. https://t.co/ekqxUuhGwv

finding it hard to believe regardless

Most of the estimates of ifr I saw that were being tossed about months ago based on Asian data were in the range of 0.5% to 1%. This fits.

1 in 5 though?

1 in 6 I think, obv far more likely

1 in 5 sounds like a lot but the important thing to note is that NYC wouldn't reach the coveted 'herd immunity' status until a bit less than 4 in 5 have had it. This finding only puts 'em a quarter of the way along. So, unless a vaccine comes along, you can take the current number of deaths in NYC and multiply by about 3 to get a rough estimate of how many more would likely die on the way to herd immunity, sans vaccine.

can't believe it's been over 4 months since i've been in NYC! i can't imagine when I will be in there again for work or otherwise.

sorry if this is stating the obvious but there's a large difference between 1% and 20%

20% is an estimated infection rate; 1% is estimated fatality rate

got it, the post didn't specify

From the documents, here's how the city council is characterizing the supposed $1B cut to the NYPD.

The tally I've seen counts $42M in increased traffic/parking enforcement revenue as a cut, toward the $1B total pic.twitter.com/aynFiT0bJi

hard to imagine how diblasio coulda fucked this up worse... everybody hates him now!

oh no, our luxury Avenue is being denigrated

NYC is cutting Police $’s by ONE BILLION DOLLARS, and yet the @NYCMayor is going to paint a big, expensive, yellow Black Lives Matter sign on Fifth Avenue, denigrating this luxury Avenue. This will further antagonize New York’s Finest, who LOVE New York & vividly remember the....

oh fuck just saw it

"no YOURE the racist how could you think that"

subconscious maybe or Stephen Miller's handiwork? hard to imagine him ptting that much thought into these inanities but who knows

Plenty to criticize NYC cops about, choosing not to live in NYC isn't one of them

can't believe they're gonna paint a YELLOW sign on luxurious fifth avenue

Plenty to criticize NYC cops about, choosing not to live in NYC isn't one of them

all cops everywhere should be required to live in the communities they ostensibly serve, and not actively wanting to should be a disqualifier

it's hard though when complaints force your relocation to another department

given that we are now about an hour in to July 5, perhaps we can stop with the motherfucking fireworks already

4:30 AM “wake up” call. Yup, I’m up now!

That's pretty cool. My neighborhood looked so much grottier back then. I wish the photos were a bit sharper though - they're like tantalizing glimpses.

WHY ARE THESE PHOTOS SO SMALL/GRAINY?

The Finance Department recorded each 1980s print as one frame on Laser Video Disks (LVDs), using analog video capture. When the Archives obtained possession of the photo set, they extracted low-resolution TIFF files of each LVD frame. This site uses the low-res JPG thumbnails of these TIFFs.

The underlying photos of individual buildings represented by these thumbnails won’t win any prizes for technical merit. They’re small, grainy, washed out and often the buildings might be unrecognizable. Still, taken as a whole, the thumbnails paint a distinctive picture of New York City in the 1980s – in many places, recovering from near-bankruptcy in the prior decade which left hulks of burned-out buildings and garbage-strewn lots; in other places, hanging on to the grandeur and glory of the greatest city in the world.

fascinating to see that my building already had this ugly green siding on it in the mid-80s

The tax assessment photos they did in the 1940s look a lot clearer - those are online too

this leaves me fucked

ouch sorry U

but it looked inevitable lately

the stupid thing is that post-protest it's becoming clear that open air, masked events are relatively safe. this is political.

pretty cool that not a single major arts institution in new york can lift a finger to help la monte young and marian zazeela keep the dreamhouse alive.
