For a time they had huge, spiking numbers every single day.

But now they're one of the lowest in the country.

Did pretty much everyone get the virus there and develop a herd immunity for it, or what?

its not magic, you cant get the virus if you're not exposed to it.

20% have it last I heard. Also they took it very seriously as they should. Combination of a lot of stuff.

some of the experts say real numbers of cases are 10x the tested number.

So if 350k is the official number, did New York have 3.5 million cases? that's basically half the city with herd immunity to it.

It isn't at all settled that having had COVID-19 gives you immunity to it. There have been multiple reports of people getting COVID-19 twice.

In a way they were lucky to hit their peak so soon, it meant they would hit it during the shut down which makes it easier to contain. More people than not have also been wearing masks, though they are mandated by the state. Sadly it came at the cost of a lot of lives.
