Agreed, it augurs for a higher prevalence and lower mortality rate with some caveats:
a) again, pregnant women are different than the population at large
b) there is a lot of heterogeneity in the infection rate across NYC. Columbia is located in Washington heights, where the infection rate appears to be higher than the rest of NY City (but probably not 15%).
But there are a lot of datapoints out there that are starting to point towards a disease that is maybe more widespread and less lethal. Serology testing can't come soon enough.
