It is just NYS better explaining what they have done??JoeMauer89 wrote: ↑Tue Apr 14, 2020 10:56 pmDoc,DocBarrister wrote: ↑Tue Apr 14, 2020 10:28 pmMore than 2,400 deaths today.

Would not put much stock in the downward trend in new confirmed cases, as that seems to track a corresponding decrease in testing.
New York reclassified 3,700 cases as coronavirus deaths. So, total deaths are now around 30,000 ... all in just 10 weeks or so. By comparison, 18,000 perished from H1N1 in an entire year between 2014 and 2015.
Meanwhile, South Korea, which responded quickly to the coronavirus crisis, has reported 222 total deaths.
Trump’s malignant narcissism and incompetence have already cost tens of thousands of American lives.
What a tragedy.

To clarify, no new deaths were added to the total for NY State. 3778 of the 10367 reported deaths were just classified as "probable due to COVID-19". Please see the attached link. For reference in the time period from 3/13/20 to 4/13/20 there were 8184 deaths NOT caused by COVID-19. Just stating for reference, a very close number to the actually amount of COVID-19 Deaths.

Best,

they will be adding the 3700+ to the state roll as soon as they can also slot them by day.
