Nearly 14% of New Yorkers may be infected with COVID-19, based on a new study, Gov. Andrew M. Cuomo said Thursday, as he also lambasted a proposal by U.S. Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell for states like New York to declare bankruptcy as “one of the really dumb ideas of all time.”

The state survey of about 3,000 people found 13.9% had antibodies indicating they had been infected with the coronavirus. That would translate into about 2.7 million New Yorkers.

Long Island had an infection reading of 16.7%, above the statewide figure but below New York City’s measure of 21.2%, Cuomo said at his daily news briefing in Albany.
