Hundreds of people dying in their homes or on the street in New York City are not being including in the coronavirus death count even if they had symptoms; suggesting the city may be significantly under-counting its COVID-19 fatalities.

Data from the NYC fire department shows that 1,125 people died in their homes or on the street in the first five days of April alone, which is more than eight times the number of deaths recorded this time last year when when 131 people died.

The daily tally of residents who died at home with coronavirus-like symptoms exploded from 45 on March 20 to 241 on April 5, the data shows.

The fire department data is based on information collected during 911 calls involving cardiac or respiratory arrest with fever and cough; symptoms that are in line with severe coronavirus cases.

While those symptoms could also fit diseases such as influenza, the steep rise coincides with the surge in coronavirus cases and deaths in New York City.

Between March 20 and April 5, the number of coronavirus-like cases, including patients who survived, tripled from 94 to 322.

The percentage of calls in which paramedics could not save the person rose from 48 percent percent to 75 percent.

Paramedics have not been testing people for coronavirus if they die at home or on the street. It suggests that the soaring death toll from the virus could be much higher than currently reported.

The death toll in New York City increased by 518 on Thursday, bringing the total number of deaths to more than 4,700. The number of infections increased by 7,500 to bring the total cases to more than 87,000.

As New York City deals with the mounting coronavirus death toll and dwindling morgue space, the city has now shortened the

What a load of bull.

No, they are dying in their apartments. They are not allowed out on the street much, please read above.

Precisely the point. If you are keeping most people in their homes, instead of letting them go about their normal business and instruct your paramedics NOT to resuscitate or bring to the hospital anyone who has a heart attack who is say over 60, of course the number of people dying at home will shoot up.
The fact of the matter is, total deaths in the US this year are DOWN as compared to not just last year, they are down from the last three years.
Hardly looks like the end of the world does it now?

“I don’t buy it.”

I would have to see a lot more evidence before I believed it. This sounds like the fake news Katrina email that went around about bodies hanging in trees and the like.

[tomkat]

.. bodies hanging in trees and the like

Yep, my impression as well.

[Sooth2222]

Illegals?

My guess is that's a good reason that a body might not be claimed and need to be buried on Hart Island (NYC's current potter's field.)

The model suggests that NYC should be pretty much through the epidemic by the end of the month. Unfortunately, NY + NJ's efforts to "flatten the curve" have largely been ineffective. The two states have roughly 1/2 the deaths in the US now. At the end, the two states combined should have about 1/3 of the total US deaths.

This is terrible, since their combined population is less than 10% of the total US population.

The Brits have been watching too much of The Omega Man.

Not at all. Italy’s, Spain’s and France’s lesson is that unless a universally effective treatment is found, the whole nation will see a per capita number similar to NYC’s, just delayed.

[SmokingJoe]

People trying to ride it out at home and then overwhelmed. They live alone and they die.

Now just how would you know that?

People have been lulled into a sense of complacency by Xi Jinping’s fake numbers. They criticize those numbers, while accepting them as a baseline for our numbers. In reality, the numbers coming in from Europe are probably a better bet.

The Daily Mail now reveals that the British actually won the American Revolution.

Just three months ago conservatives were scoffing at “fake news”, shrugging off all they heard. Now the same people are hanging on every word uttered by the same media. Gosh, it is so much fun to hyperventilate.

Same as those that damn CDC, WHO etc then wait with bated breath for whatever they conjure up next and take it as gospel.

(I am including the ‘Master & Protege` in the etc)

AND all of them stand up with a straight face and ‘holier than thou’ attitude while spouting off.

[AAABEST]

Matt - don't even waste your time with this one. To him, none of this is actually happening.

Dumb as a fkn stump.

[Antoninus]

Now, the media is trying to tell us the number of deaths are being under counted.

This is the Daily Mail. They are notorious for sensationalist headlines and stories.

[Richard Kimball]

Sounds like the Fictitious horror stories coming from the Superdome in New Orleans

I used to go to Saints games at the SuperDome in the 70s. The horror was real.

No. The deaths per capita are high in Italy (312) and Spain (344) because they are letting people die. Here our rate is 57. We might get to about 200 (0.02%). That's basically the per capita rate from a bad flu season.

Does this mean I am going to die tonight? Goodbye cruel world ! !!

Just because you keep repeating this hyperbolic crap doesn't give it any more validity. Outside of major metropolitan areas, the WuFlu has a far lower incidence and mortality. I don't know what your agenda is, but (as I pointed out on another thread where you posted fraudulent data) your propaganda is highly in error...
