Deaths in NY and especially NYC are up three-five times the norm for this time of year (and really any time).

Well nearly half the deaths in the US are in NYS, so yes there does seem to be something more sinister going on in certain localized spots, but overall worldwide there isn't a huge influx of deaths. Roughly the same amount of people are dying. I've heard pneumonia deaths are way down, which could be explained by shifting those deaths over to the Covid numbers.

Anybody with statistics to post would be welcome.

They calculate flu and pneumonia deaths on a yearly basis. The corona deaths are being done on a daily basis. Unfortunately I don’t think it’s going to be possible to compare the statistics for quite some time because of that discrepancy.

I tried to search for daily death rates etc.. and came up with a whole bunch of nothing. I’m basing what I’m saying about nyc on articles speaking about the daily increase in at Home deaths the fire and police in nyc are reporting as well as articles about a surge in deaths from cardiac arrest and the following article:

www.washingtonexaminer.com

On a normal day, 145 people die in New York City. Last week, coronavirus alone killed over 200 per day - Washington Examiner

On an average day in New York City, about 145 people die. It’s a little higher in March: In 2017 and 2016 (the most recent years for which we have data), the March averages were 151 and 159 per day, respectively. In April, it was 146 and 149 per day in 2017 and 2016, according

Something is definitely very wrong in NY/NJ.. and looking at the numbers it seems to be spreading outward.

This is fascinating. Plus, cussing just sounds better with a British accent. :p (around minute 5)

Even using hydroxychloroquine to treat the virus (an off-label use) can affect the heart, too, right?

I gave this video more of a chance because one of my best friends has been sending me his videos since late January or early February. I thought she was panicking too much then. I should've listened to her more. It didn't really hit me how serious this would all be until early March.
