For the past two days, New Yorkers have been dying at a rate of one every 17 minutes, according to the latest grim citywide statistics.

On both Thursday and Friday, another 84 people died in the city from the coronavirus, as the number of positive cases and of those who are critically ill also climbed.

The COVID-19 death toll in the city was 450 as of Friday evening, up from 366 reported fatalities in the morning.

Total citywide coronavirus cases rose to 26,697, up 4.4 percent from the 25,573 reported in the morning.

Mayor de Blasio warned Friday that critical resources to combat the outbreak in the country’s epicenter could run out by Sunday, April 5, as hospitals remain completely overwhelmed.

"NYC, where they don’t differentiate between virus, flu, and other illnesses when reporting their numbers.

Read somewhere (Twitt?) That a person working at one of the hospitals said there were folks who had passed away from flu/pneumonia, but next day was changed to CV-19. Didn't say if they were tested for it-only that it was changed. Strange anyway if true.

Problem is, flu isn’t tested for with everyone that has a symptoms.


It isn’t tested for 1% of those who have symptoms.

(As of today, the death/resolved, excluding China and Iran, are at 21.8%, and the recovered number is about 3.5 times the death number).


My turn to make a math error. Dropped a zero typing in China’s death numbers which shifted everything else.

Should be:
(As of today, the death/resolved, excluding China and Iran, are at 20.0%, and the recovered number is about 4.0 times the death number).

We all make occasional goofs. I myself glitched on this series in this thread. Many on this board and on this subject have not owned up to them.

Cheers!

yesthatjallen - On March 28 you wrote, “Keep saying ‘just the flu’ and it’ll go away!” Afterward a team of naysayers wrote post after post saying it was not even as bad as the flu. But we can see now, almost four weeks later, they were sorely wrong and you were correct.

There have been as many USA COVID19 deaths in the last thirty days as we typically see from a full year of seasonal flu.
