Anyone who wants to disprove the claimed numbers can FOIA the 911 call tapes.
Those numbers claimed in the Daily Mail story would not surprise me. NYC is a big, densely populated city, whose mayor told them to go to the bars, go to work, ride the subway. He would want to hide high death toll that would point back at his inaction and dismissal of risks.
Just my opinion. YMMV
I’m from NYC. That’s how.
Stop trolling with your propaganda.
“.. bodies hanging in trees and the like”
There were dead snakes hanging in trees...and pangolins
Many dead pangolins.
The "deaths from the virus" that comes from the blue states will continue at 2000-2500 for the rest of the month and 1000 a day in May. There will probably 100,000 of those deaths. Every single one that is not an obvious premature death will be celebrated by the media. Just google https://www.google.com/search?q=young+healthy+DJ&rlz=1C5CHFA_enUS791US791&oq=young+healthy+DJ&aqs=chrome..69i57.10664j0j7&sourceid=chrome&ie=UTF-8 and look through the 389,000,000 hits. They are not all stories about the young healthy DJ of course but many are. The man was killed by a rushed intubation. There is no lack of ventilators, the problem is that they are using them on people who are still breathing on their own and blowing out lungs. He walked into the hospital breathing and the ventilator was not needed.
But we have plenty of time before November for the facts to come out and the sane governors to reopen their states for business to show it can be done safely. This virus is approx. 10x more lethal than flu, although we don't know the actual infection rate, so it may be less than that. But thanks to social changes the total deaths will be only a little worse than a bad flu season.
Stupid a##es trying to breathe life into a story that will end soon
Like you, there is too much missing from thios tale to be believable...
We seem to be observing the same things.
Stupid a##es trying to breathe life into a story that will end soon.
Unfortunately, it will be like Trump and Russia/Russia.
My grand kid’s grand kids will hear how dumb and slow Trump was to act.
WTF?
There are likely hundreds of bodies in NYC homes every day. There is a wellness check squad in every NYC precinct that goes around and collects bodies from apartments. It is common for people to die in their sleep, and people find out because they don’t show up somewhere they normally do. Or they start to smell over time. In a city of 10+ million like New York, it can be a hundred in a day easily.
That being said, the issue is more acute now. People are in their homes more now. And people are not showing up anywhere now. So they may be dead longer now. It would not be easy to figure out how someone died if they are not found for 2 or 3 weeks.
This virus’ fatality rate cannot be just figured just by the number of dead versus last year. We have locked down people. So the car accidents are lower. The stress is higher. Depression and suicide may grow. Alcoholism may grow. But flu may not spread like it did. So there are lots of compounding factors going on. You can’t just say surplus deaths are caused by the virus. You might be able to say that deaths are caused by the virus and the response without figuring out how many are caused by one and not the other.
