No they havent. Its not herd immunity unless they could go back to life as normal and not go back to exponential growth.

They may have had 20-30% of the city get the disease, which certainly helps stop the spread a lot (reducing R by a factor of .7-.8), which brings them below 1 when combined with their currently sustainable level of distancing, mask wearing, etc. But they had to go through a completely unacceptable level of death and suffering to even get to that.

They have, and they could.

Their pathetic level of excess death compared to virtually everywhere else (including places like Sweden that had no lockdowns and no masks) is due entirely to Cuomo freaking out TOO MUCH and ordering infected patients back into nursing homes, because he was preparing the hospitals for a deluge of young and healthy people which never materialized.
