How inflated are the numbers with the NYS edicts of counting ANY death with coronavirus or suspected coronavirus as a stat?

Literally, a person could be shot in the head during a robbery, and if they were even suspected to have thr virus, it goes in the death count.

Represented by Democrat Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez?

I wonder why?!?

[BlueStateRightist]

Interesting how the poorest areas are the most affected in NYC. This is like due to both 1) greater numbers of people living per house/apartment with inter-generational sharing of living space, and 2) greater use of mass transit.

Is this AOC’s district?

Irony..... yep

Coingkidink..... nah, no way

New York City is dying. Blacks make up 13 % of the USA population...37% of Corona Virus deaths in NYC are African-Americans neglected by years and years of Democrat Party Scum & Vermin...with Obama being the absolute worst of them. It will soon all come out!!!

Why.,....Senior Blacks live in poverty with drug abuse, crime murder, no jobs, no opportunities, terrible education. Diabetes, heart trouble, breathing trouble, improper diets, etc. The only recent support has come big time from POTUS, Donald J. Trump!!!

Trump is your man...American Blacks...but...sadly, you do not have a clue as to how bad Obama has screwed you all in his eight years as POTUS. You have been used abused and neglected by your so called friendly Democrat Party especially the low life Obamas...period!!!abusers!!! The truth hurts...but the truth is still the truth!!!

Corona is largely a hispanic neighborhood and has a high number of undocumented individuals. I wonder how many of the covis infected are undocumented. I don’t believe DeBlasio has released that number.

[TaxPayer2000]

Could it be that anytime someone IN Corona dies, they automatically add it to the coronavirus death tally?

“Corona”

What the hell were they expecting when they chose that name?

[Sooth2222]

My thoughts: 1.) High population density 2.) Large numbers of unrelated individuals sharing single-family housing units (illegals?) and lax enforcement of the housing codes 3.) Less social distancing 4.) Universal reliance on mass transit 5.) Poorly paid /poorly trained nursing home staff failing to use basic infectious disease precautions 6.) Some other factors ("Factor X, Y and Z") eg. a possible link between higher incidence of vitamin D deficiency among persons of color living in northern latitudes corresponding to their higher death rate from COVID-19 has been suggested by some European researchers.

If 53% of all COVID-19 deaths in the US are in New York City, its suburbs and North Jersey, perhaps that says something about New York City, its suburbs and North Jersey rather than coronaviruses. Just a thought. (This dystopian world is precisely the world that AOC and Commie Bernie dream of.)

Very simple - viruses spread like wildfire if people are allowed to ride them without masks - as now proven in NYC.

Trump was born 5 miles away.

His fault.

Well I’m on my way
I don’t know where I’m going
I’m on my way I’m taking my time
But I don’t know where
Goodbye to Rosie the queen of Corona
See you, me and Julio
Down by the school yard

Corona, Queens is a low rent ugly area occupied mostly by Hispanics. Including LOTS of illegals who stuff as many bodies as possible into a rented apartment or house. From what I recall, it's mostly apartments and rowhouses right on top of each other, and not kept particularly clean. I am not surprised at all at these stats, considering the population density, lack of education, and probable lack of previous vaccinations or normal medical care before they sneaked into the U.S. to feed off Uncle Sugar.
