New York on Tuesday decided to add “presumed” COVID-19 cases to its death toll, which reached a total of 10,000 victims.
On Tuesday alone, 3,700 new deaths were added to the revised death count, according to a report from the New York Times.
“These new presumed cases are mostly from ERs and hospitals, which means people weren’t getting tested even in those settings. Lots more were in nursing homes or other long-term care facilities,” NY Times reporter Kristen Danis said.
New York City, already a world epicenter of the coronavirus outbreak, sharply increased its death toll by more than 3,700 victims on Tuesday, after officials said they were now including people who had never tested positive for the virus but were presumed to have died of it.
But for weeks, the Health Department also had been recording additional deaths tied to the virus, according to two people briefed on the matter. Those cases involved people who were presumed to have been infected because of their symptoms and medical history.
They were not included in the counts given publicly by Mayor Bill de Blasio because no tests had confirmed that the victims had the disease, Covid-19.
California has less than 800 Coronavirus deaths while New York has counted over 10,000 deaths related to COVID-19. Perhaps one reason why is how the deaths are being categorized?

Scum.
The Chicoms underestimated their deaths; NY overestimates theirs.
More reasons to NEVER go to New York again!!
Faking the count to cover their miscalculation.
How many flu cases have they included, too?? And every other death. Screw the coroner.
I think Coomo is just making stuff up.
Make Coomo call his bluff, Mr. President. Open the country up. Let Coomo keep his subjects in chains.
It’s presumed officials in New York know their a$$ from a hole in the ground.
So much for science.
It seems those who would typically die in a day or week from all sorts of conditions, that list seems to be non existent. These fatalities are now lumped in to the corona virus tally’s
It ain’t just the ChiComs cooking the books...
They will find Corona deaths where none exist - it reminds me of Dems finding previously unknown ballot boxes full of Dem votes.
Well I guess Chicago could add in the 32 murdered in April as Covid-19 victims. Why let a disaster go to waste?
Follow the money. NY gets $12,000 for every Covid-19 case.
I caught the last minute or two today of a Los Angeles emergency room doctor on the Dennis Prager show. She said that it used to be that putting the cause of death on the death certificate was very serious and exacting, but in these days they just say Covid19. She also said that there is a medical adage that “pneumonia is an old person’s best friend,” because it quickly carries away the old who have other very serious conditions. I wish I knew her name, she was that outstanding. Dr. Simone Something-or-other.
Ahhhhhhh presumed..so someone comes in with a massive heart attack but coughs once before dropping dead..cause of death..coronavirus
Guy shot 30 times was added to the list of coronavirus deaths.
Medicare pays NY $19,000 for each diagnosed case; $39,000 for each cause of death.
This Kirsten Danis or Davis has no concept of writing as a reporter. She says ,” new recorded deaths were mostly from ERs and hospitals” . Then she says “ Lots more came from nursing homes”. “ Mostly” “Lots more”. I wouldn’t accept that kind of writing from a Queens 7th grader. And how does a hospital not test ? It takes 30 seconds to swab. I was in hospital in Queens over Christmas. I had a possible intestinal blockage. They swzbbed me for flu and strep. This is absolutely bogus.
