14% is really good news. I was half expecting these tests to come out at something stupid like 5%. This is celebration worthy news if the it holds true with more testing and with 3000 people in that pool, I can't see why it shouldn't stay at that general %, maybe even edge higher. 

I wanna see what that percentage is for the city alone, It's gotta be waaaay higher. Fingers crossed for something ober 30%. I mean at 30% you can't get a second wave bigger than the first if the population cap is on the lower end, hell, New York is a big state landwise, the city might show something closer to half than closer to the 14%. 

~80% of the population in NYC are still vunerable to it.

So yes a 2nd wave could still be way more than it has currently killed in NYC.
Also what right now is 0.8-1% mortality rates, might be higher if you get both coronavirus + normal flu at once.

Normal flu doesnt go away, just because another virus is out there spreading.
Thats why experts suspect a 2nd wave to be much much worse than the first one.
(history also shows this, with the spanish flu)
