Around this weekend it will have been about 4 weeks since NYC shut down.
A relatively recent historic look of yearly deaths in New York City puts the number at around 60,000. (Mid 2000’s)
Simple maths averages this to 165 deaths on a given day.
As of 3/26, the number of people who died with coronachan topped the average daily number for the first time. (167 died 2 weeks past stay at home)
6 days later, that number about doubled, then has been remaining approximately steady at approx. 350 deaths/day specifically related to covid.
We are now about two weeks out from the wave of increased mortality and it hopefully will flag.
I do not know what to figures of other, non-corona related deaths are, although that would be a good (although morbid) question to ask DeBlasio or Cuomo to help wrap our minds around what is happening.
Edit: I found this reported:
So far New York City's announced death toll has reflected only laboratory-confirmed COVID-19 diagnoses. More than 200 people are dying at home in the city daily during the pandemic, authorities said.
Thoughts? Prayers?
