A friend of mine, a local doctor, has told me the same thing.
People surviving ventilators are rare and few in beetween.
2 chinese studies point at 86% and 97% mortality; though UK reports 50-50 chances

Hidden Outbreaks Spread Through U.S. Cities Far Earlier Than Americans Knew, Estimates Say (Published 2020)
New York, Boston, San Francisco, Chicago and Seattle had undetected outbreaks long before testing showed a major problem, according to a model.

Whatever the precise scale of the initial outbreak, that same dynamic will accelerate once measures to mitigate the spread are relaxed without other public health measures in place, Dr. Burke said. “When you take away social distancing, everything will go right through the roof,” he said.
Let's open this beyotch up! I ain't bowled in a month!
Ignore the wording in this article. I think their "making up N% of the positive tests" is supposed to be "had a rate of N% test positivity".

A global pandemic of the novel coronavirus has now killed more than 190,000 people worldwide.

Assuming this latter interpretation is the correct one then:
NYC 21.2% antibody test positivity (note caveat: may not be equal to actual prevalence depending on test performance)
Long Island 16.7%
Westchester/Rockland Counties 11.7%
Rest of state 3.6%

We should take the hint.
"While impact of this cancellation to the spread of COVID-19 remains unknown, the spread of herpes and syphilis projected to decrease by a staggering 86%."
For the euro monkies:
I have got the impression that the EU is definitely failing during this pandemic. Not on the financial side but managing the crisis on the medical side.
Blocking containers of masks and other equipment from other states is just one example (Germany and France blocked equipment for Switzerland).
I‘ve got the impression that all states try to solve the problem on national basis, which is, imo a bit silly.
Also, how is the medical approach between european states? The media suggests that each country does their own research, which seems plausible that there are still a lot of different approaches between the states. There’s obviously a lot going on behind the scenes.
I am curios, though.

Relevant to Americans as well. Weak central/federal govt and states fighting amongst themselves in slow-motion chaos.
Are there models for rate of spread vs % of people con antibodies?
how close to mid-point is nyc?
R0 assumed around 2.5 for COVID.
x = 0.8 or so if antibody tests accurate (because they don't catch recently/currently infected %)
So effective infectious rate 80% of that which it'd be in perfectly naive population.
Not sure if you can compare the US to the EU. Countries in the EU are independent, we do not have such a strong federal government. That is also why this doesn't work as well as it could, too much power still in the countries. In Germany the federal structure also causes some chaos, but for the important decisions it seems that they can find a consensus. Having a stronger federal government here helps with that.
Regarding medical cooperation: Germany took Covid-19 patients from France and Italy:

I work for a company doing covid research- apparently the titer tests aren't accurate as antibodies disappear after two weeks...
So did Switzerland. Don‘t get me wrong, this is great and a lot of these patients are alive and were able to go homeRegarding medical cooperation: Germany took Covid-19 patients from France and Italy:

France's Defence Minister, Florence Parly, thanked "Germany for mobilising to take care of French people and for embodying even greater solidarity: Europe watching over Europeans".
But this is just one layer of cooperation and considering the amount of patients in Italy and France a drop in the bucket. Good for media, if you will.
Afaik, China and Russia jumped in earlier to help out Italy with respirators and masks. Now you could argue that China owns already a lot of businesses in Italy so there is a good relationship and interest, but that is a worldwide reality, right?
Another example of poor cooperation:
A lot of ski destinations were contaminated and people knew that tons of tourists were infected. Instead of shutting these places completely off and keeping the spreeding local, tourists were sent home - and THEN the mountain towns got locked.
Result was that the virus got wide spread in Germany, Italy etc.
All states affected should have had big interest in locking these regions instead of filing class action lawsuits against these places right now.

SPECIAL REPORT-Former Labradoodle breeder tapped to lead U.S. pandemic task force
On January 21, the day the first U.S. case of coronavirus was reported, the secretary of the Department of Health and Human Services appeared on Fox News to report the latest on the disease as it ravaged China. Alex Azar, a 52-year-old lawyer and former drug industry executive, assured Americans...
That has a little bigger impact than just failing tests, right?
if antibodies disappear from a person's system after two weeks, that would mean someone could be reinfected over and over and over ....
GREAT!
Does the quick math...
380,000,000 * 80% (~herd immunity?) * 0.20% = 608,000
380,000,000 * 80% (~herd immunity?) * 0.20% = 608,000
Probably still better than Jared.because of course ....

As far as I know they did calculations of available capacity considering the way the pandemic developed in Germany. Last thing you want to do is fill your ICUs with patients from Italy and then do not have enough capacity for the locals. So not purely a PR stunt.
Bro, they are behind all this to damage our societies and take away our companies and wives!
Yep, but can you imagined the shitstorm if Ischgl had been closed down because "just one barkeeper was sick of the flu"? Businesses and tourist alike would have been mad like hell. I see this as a failure of local authorities and not an EU level thing.
More worrisome is that countries like Italy now trying to use this as an opportunity to sneak in Eurobonds. Guilt tripping other countries with "we want your solidarity because EU" when previously the government was blaming the EU for everything that went wrong and leaving the impression with their voters that the EU is not good for Italy. Asking for solidarity just when you need money is not how this works.
Could be a sensitivity of the test issue though. Immune response might not disappear, just the test is not sensitive enough.
