"New Yorkers must really suck at social distancing, or it's more infectious and R0 of 2.2 is incorrect. "

Havn't they floated numbers around of it being near R0= ~3 ?

*edit:

"3000, decent sample size, however that's not a random sample. That's testing people that still go out to stores. People that are more at risk of exposure vs those staying at home, having done their shopping earlier or get their food delivered. Also chances are you will end up testing those that frequent the stores more often vs those that do a single run to minimize exposure. I also assume it was voluntary, and those that are more careful will naturally avoid participating."

^ this all sounds like good arguements to me.

That survey is likely overestimateing the amount infected % by abit.
