New York City added thousands of people to its coronavirus death toll to account for victims who died in recent weeks without a confirmed diagnosis. The additional deaths -- totaling 3,778 -- pushed the city’s total to more than 10,000. Almost 60% of the unconfirmed coronavirus patients died inside hospitals, the city reported. Freddi Goldstein, press secretary to Mayor Bill de Blasio, said Tuesday that the data include at-home deaths of people suspected of having Covid-19, the disease caused by the coronavirus. That judgment is based on reported symptoms including cough, fever and shortness of breath. “We are focused on

There are reasons to claim higher and higher CoVid deaths. Primary is to assail President Trump. Also, increase per-case funding (saw the first comparison of how much New York got in comparison to Nebraska per-case).

The hospitals are incentivized to record as Covid-19 - more funding. This is fraud. One of Trumps new Inspectors General should make it his/her mission to investigate.

There are two places in the world where you simply can't trust the data for COVID19: China and any place controlled by Democrats. Reason: Communists got to lie.

Rush said the other day a Covid-19 hospital.admittance netted a hospital $13k from Medicaid/Medicare and if they are put on a vent it goes up to $38k.
Fudging the numbers comes with taxpayer funded cash and prizes.

No Autopsy? Yup, there goes another one. Incredibly irresponsible.
But then NY has gotten to a point where a death certificate is useless. If I take a 100 year old death cert in NY I can find out that someone died of heart failure, TB, or cancer.
Now a NY certificate certifies nothing except that you are dead. The listing is Homicide - Suicide - Natural Causes. In 100 years if you want to see if there is a genetic problem in the family, that certificate will not tell you that Grandma died of breast cancer, just "Natural Causes"

This reminds me of a meme I saw yesterday. A Florida man fell overboard and was eaten by a great white shark. Cause of death was Covid-19 and Nasty Nancy blamed President Trump.

What about the college girl who was stabbed in a NYC park by three din-do-nuffins from the hood because she was buying weed? Was she successfully classified as a Bat Flu victim?

Hey, NYC saw how CT did it a few days ago, and figured they better get into the action.
I sense a lot of fraud, but I also sense that a whole lot of homeless ended up dying (why so many unclaimed bodies being buried in potters field) that they will classify as COVID-19 related to ensure those costs are covered by the Federal government.

Anybody who dies in NYC regardless of gunshots, heart attacks, strokes, anything, gets recorded as a COVID-19 death. Why? Because of the big $$$ involved with the Wuhan virus. The more Wuhan deaths the bigger federal payout. Mr Bill has struck a golden vein within the streets and boroughs of NYC. Anyone see fraud and abuse here?

Why don't you toss in probably racial hate crimes deaths as well. As long as we are just making up stuff, go for all the PC numbers. How can anyone trust a word any goobernment employee says when they literally make up numbers? They are not even trying to hide their lies now!

Rather than a "melting pot" New York City appears to be a festering cesspool. My prayers are with those that have died, no matter how.
