Interesting data points from NYC
-
They tested 1000 cops and 1000 FD/EMS for covid antibodies.
FD/EMS 17% positive
NYPD 11%That is substantially lower than the general population antibody results.
Seems counterintuitive.
1 possibility - that’s indicative of how much general population test results are skewed by selection bias.
2nd possibility - first responders masks and gloves did a good job protecting them and they really are half as likely to have been exposed.
(or some combination)
