What does that mean and how would they know this ?

I suppose that would mean that at some point they did have coronavirus, but no symptoms. So they tested postivie but They were an asymptomatic carrier. Then they recovered (don't have coronavirus anymore and would test negative if re-tested)

So if they were to be tested for antibodies, they should have the antibodies that makes the immune from getting it again, at least temporarily. No one knows yet how long immunity lasts.

But if they never tested positive for Covid19, or alternatively took the antibody test and found positive for antibodies (which would indicate that they would have tested positive for Covid19 at some point in the past), then they have no business saying they can't give it to anyone.

I was looking forward to everything opening up by the end of this month but since the numbers are still high and nothing is being done to relieve people's minds, I'm thinking even if Cuomo said NYC is no longer under lock down tomorrow, there's no guarantee the stores will open if people's minds are not at peace.

I'm thinking most of these stores closed on their own and not because the city told them to close.

Yes, some stores closed on their own, and others had employees test positive and they are trying to keep it hush. Stores are closing earlier and opening later to allow for cleaning and re-stocking due to so many people hoarding.
