re: 7,890 deaths in NYC as of this morning. How many w/o underlying conditions?

100% of the 7,890 are confirmed COVID deaths, with an additional 4309 probable COVID deaths, and an additional 3,500+ excess deaths above normal deaths expectations that aren’t included.
Why would you add excess deaths? Seems to me you're double-counting COVID deaths by doing that.

Because the excess deaths are not counted as COVID, have no cause cited, but occurred parallel to NYC's peak deaths.
Are all 3500+ COVID deaths? No
Are a substantial portion? Yes, probably.
