Right. But you're comparing total apples and oranges.


The NY estimates were based on an extrapolation from random serology testing which doesn't have sampling bias (or has far less sampling bias). Using data from tests where people are opting to be tested has clear sampling bias and skews toward infected people.

Miami has had ~600 deaths per million. NYC has had 2,700 deaths per million. The level of infection between those two cities is not even close to comparable.
