Lets put it this way
there is a 50-75% with antibodies in BP.
No new infections (even though BP is fully reopened)
Not 50-75% of people with antibodies, 50-75% of people tested with antibodies. Surely you realize those who think they’ve had it are far more likely to submit to a blood test to confirm than those who don’t? 50-75% is a really big range anyway. That could mean we’ve prevented a full half of deaths, at least.
So maybe at the point, we went into lockdown we should have only locked the vulnerable?

Why isn't the 30% without antibodies getting infected now? We have lots of ppl still testing positive?
To your first point, it has merit but if everyone infected would be running around as usual the odds of those “locked up” getting it would rise dramatically as well, because the virus would be (was?) circulating at immense levels. See Sweden, Ireland, and the U.K. as well as use common sense.

To your second, it seems that testing positive later into your infection doesn’t indicate contagion, at least that’s something doctors are assuming (hoping). See the article linked to by Rabbi Dr. Glatt for more on that. The vulnerable people without antibodies are presumably mostly still locked up, and the level of people walking around with antibodies is presumably very high relative to the amount of people walking around with infectious virus.

I wonder if this will spark any sort of Jewish exodus from NYC.
Hard to believe that it's a significant number, relative to the population. If it opens up a few houses for people to buy there, and the real estate market loosens up a bit, that would be very good news to people who JUST HAVE TO live in NYC.
Don't forget there are very strong anchors in NYC for certain people: specific yeshivos and kehilos.
People have been moving out for many different reasons over the past few years. Lots of people are just waiting for the right opportunity. This has definitely been the cherry on top and has caused New Yorkers to start thinking about the next step. 
New York has a lot to offer, however it is at a steep price!

YES almost fully

Shuls, most
stores, many (officially by appointment)
schools, yeshivas many, schools starting this week

In any case, ppl are all over the streets. I observed many of my neighbors that didn't have company for Shabbos in a long time had this week....
You can’t vouch for 100% of BP being out and about, and I wouldn’t believe you if you did. You can vouch for many, but that’s the point.. the vulnerable who don’t have antibodies are still mostly locked up

That's the way it should be and we don't need the government to tell us this
I wonder what people who type "u" instead of "you" do with all their free time.

This petition has gotten over 1,500 signatures in just 11 hours. People want to get back to normal life while taking the proper precautions.

As Dan has mentioned before_If you are able to, buy something from a small business or purchase a gift certificate for later use. Most stores would bring an item or two out to your car.

Many older ppl turned up in shul this week. I suppose they have antibodies.

It's a real rachmonuos on the older ppl that don't have antibodies, as 10 weeks is getting to them  :'( :'(

I'm waiting for the results of this Jerusalem "case study". We will have a similar case study in BP in the next week or 2

The two could not be further apart as far as studies go. You’re comparing BP where most people (according to you) have antibodies and Yerushalayim where presumably most people don’t.. the one thing they have in common is (presumably) not too many infectious people circulating

There was also a biotech company with a stock ticker ISIS that ended up changing their ticker.

Just preparing you for when she's the mayor/governor/senator of your great city/state.

The case study in Williamsburg is completed with no heavy spike in cases 2 weeks after the big funeral

Really? Shuls, stores, schools?
And, don't you need 14 days to make such a statement?
Considering how early we are now seeing that the spread started, is 14 days anywhere close to enough?
Feelings don't care about your facts

I'm not in BP, but here some ladies asked my wife why she wasn't coming to their Shabbos afternoon get-together...

The funniest part is that they’re asking why. They have no clue?
