Maybe I'm missing something, but this statistic from Cuomo's slide show -- that 66% of new hospitalizations were people living at home -- doesn't seem shocking at all.

This question seems to be about where people live, not what they do. On that basis, people living at home are significantly *underrepresented,* as you would expect.
The stat that jumps out at me is nursing homes. They house about 100,000 NYers, which is roughly 0.5% of the population, yet they account for 18% of hospitalizations.

It's not necessarily shocking, but it confirms that NH residents are at dramatically higher risk.
This slide is arguably more surprising, but needs more context. For example, it doesn't distinguish between at-home and outside employment.
Another counterintuitive result, but note that 45% of respondents didn't answer this one.
It would be helpful, when Cuomo cites these sciency-sounding numbers, if he shared more details on how they were derived.

On this survey, we need the exact phrasing of the questions.

On antibody testing, we need to know how people were selected and how "weighting" was done.
