Just passed $7,600

This means we have just about fully recovered from the March 13th crash.

#Bitcoin  as resilient as ever

Cuomo ordered random antibody testing a while ago.

And now the results are in.

21.2% or 1.68 million of NYC residents have had the virus.

Not sure how 14% suddenly becomes 21%.

Must be a hedonic adjustment of some sort.
That said, I am not sure what is the accuracy of that test (whether it cross-reacts with cold, flu, etc. antibodies, what is the % of false positive & false negative).

We already have the Avengers: Endgame and now its the start of the doctor's game.

Respect for them who are working in the danger to save the humans.

14% for the state.

21% for the city.

That said, I am not sure what is the accuracy of that test

Accuracy for covid-19 tests are also suspect.
I mean, when 1000 sailors out of 2000 crew tested positive on that French military ship, it's pretty much a given that they all had it.

Woah that's a lot! Here in the NL only 3.6% has had it.

Shit is getting real in my personal surroundings. An acquaintance of mine (visited hem 10 times over the years) has died. My Gf works in a home for the elderly, two people have died there, one has recovered, one co-worker was tested positive. My GF got tested yesterday because of a cold, results tomorrow.

Sorry to hear that Julian, and good luck with your gf.

People who generally invest in the stock market still have their jobs. They are still contributing to their 401(k)s, which is creating buying.

21.2% or 1.68 million of NYC residents have had the virus.

That is really interesting data. So we should assume about 250k deaths from this thing in the US.

Hm. If we assume 2.5 million people would have died and only 250k people die and the eventual cost of dealing with this to be 20 trillion dollars then we have a value of 8,888,888.88 per life saved by this economic bunkering. Which comes in around the Govt value of a human life (between 7 and 9 million, 2018 numbers) so about right.

Not sure how you extrapolated. It's not 21% in the country, just NY city.
Another way to extrapolate: NY-9.8mil, 21% infected, 10K death related to this disease. Assuming linear projection of infection/death at 80% infected-40K projected death in NY.
NY/USA=approx 1/33, hence 33X40=1.32mil in US alone by the time herd immunity (at 80%) is established, unless vaccine or effective medicine (not fake one's) comes.

Shit, you're right. I assumed the 21% ratio would be about what it was in the whole population. So if we're 20% done with this and 50k dead then 5x would be 250k.

I got a C in math.

I would like to see an update of this one, at some point... maybe include the adding of gold in there, too.
