Where you getting that from?
NY population is 19,450,000
Don't have real time numbers, but let's assume 21,000 are dead in NY from COVID. That's 0.107% of the population.
Approx 13.9% of NY has had COVID. Based on that, if everyone had COVID you would assume there would be 151,000 fatalities in the state.
151,000/19,450,000=0.78%.
Anyone want to check my math?
