N.Y.C. Death Toll Soars Past 10,000 in Revised Virus Count
The city has added more than 3,700 additional people who were presumed to have died of the coronavirus but had never tested positive.



Not saying some of those people didn't die from the Chinese wheeze but that is a lot of people to add without any confirmation.

The virus is real but it is not a pandemic level virus by any real count.

"They could have died of [insert anything here], but we're not sure it wasn't the Corona, so it's the Corona."

Solid.

If I can go to jail for yelling fire in a theater and causing panic, I see no reason why these people can't go to jail for this.

It’s pretty obvious they are trying to inflate the numbers as much as possible so next time a few thousand people get the flu, they can cite the absolute horror show that was Coronavirus as an excuse for shutting the country down again and taking control.

“If we don’t shut down, lots of people will die like corona! You are children! We know what’s best for you! Obey!”

The revised death toll renewed focus on shortcomings in testing that have hamstrung city and state officials since the beginning of the outbreak. A limited number of tests have been available, and until now, only deaths where a person had tested positive were counted among those killed by the virus in New York.

But for weeks, the Health Department also had been recording additional deaths tied to the virus, according to two people briefed on the matter. Those cases involved people who were presumed to have been infected because of their symptoms and medical history.

They were not included in the counts given publicly by Mayor Bill de Blasio because no tests had confirmed that the victims had the disease, Covid-19.

Mr. de Blasio decided, after another round of briefings over the weekend, to release the presumptive cases, the people said. Most of the added deaths took place in hospitals, according to the data. Others occurred in nursing homes or other long-term care facilities and in residences.
