NO CITY IN America has been hit by covid-19 as hard as New York. By April 12th, according to official statistics, more than 6,000 people had died. This is over a quarter of all deaths in the whole country. There is some cause for hope: new reported covid-19 cases and deaths in the city both appear to be falling. Modelling by the Institute for Health Metrics and Evaluation, a research group at the University of Washington, suggests that New York state’s covid-19 epidemic may have passed its peak.
According to data from the city’s fire department, New Yorkers are making four times as many emergency calls about cardiac arrests as they did last year. The most recent figures show that about 200 of these heart-attack victims are being pronounced dead at the scene each day, up from around 30 this time last year . It is plausible that some of these people were not victims of covid-19.
The city has since announced that it will revise its covid-19 death count to include people who are likely to have died from the disease but who were never formally tested. Mortality statistics from governments tend to be reported with a significant time-lag. Officials might not know the full public-health impact of covid-19 until months after it has faded.
Realistically IF you're going to 'count' these unreported deaths, you ALSO need to include the ~50% of cases that are unreported. Otherwise it's Statistics as Lying.
A brutal disaster 😢
for once, I agreed with this Lib. 🇺🇸 China is a dictatorship that, for decades, enforced a one child per family policy under penalty of forced sterilization. But they can't close down the farmer's market from hell? CoronaVirus WetMarkets
Is there any data on the accuracy of the Coronavirus test? False positive and false negative stats?
