Because it’s not the Flu.
NY’s numbers are not out of line with those in Europe.
Europe as a whole is indicating a much worse mentality rate that the US as a whole.
Why is NYC such a glaring stand-out and also much more similar than the mortality rate of Europe?
New York numbers are similar to some socialist countries.
Europe as a whole is indicating a much worse “mortality” rate that the US as a whole....
NY numbers are not out of line with Europe??” What numbers are you looking at?
NY state numbers are 900 per million population (Worldometer) yesterday. Spain, Italy and France are half that. And if you look just at the 5 boroughs the rate per million ar over 1000 deaths. There’s no country or city, except maybe the city of Wuhan,even close.
How about Canada? Germany? 40-50 deaths per million. Forget Japan at 2??
It’s hard to believe that if Cuomo did nothing that it could be worse.
If we believe Dr. Birx chart yesterday, the countries registering a high number of deaths per 100,000 in Europe are in the range of 45 per 100,000.
New York STATE is at 60 per 100,000. The US as a whole is at 11 per 100,000.
New York City is probably around 100 per 100,000, double the highest rate in all of Europe.
I'm not going to make a value judgment whether or not that is in or out of line with the rest of Europe. The numbers are what they are, and ALL of them will rise. The statistic Birx chose to illustrate is a simple ratio of cumulative deaths (which is rising) to population, which is approximately a fixed number.
