NYC population is 8.4 million. Their death rate is 6,589 (Apr 13). 0.1% of 8.4 million is 8400, that would mean almost everyone in NYC has been infected, I'm not sure that is feasible at the moment.

It would only take a 0.25% fatality rate to imply 30% of the NY population to have been infected, which is plausible.
