    I would like to see more reporting on the excess death numbers in New York and elsewhere because it's the best way we have of figuring out the actual human toll (although numbers will have to be adjusted in future as we get better data).https://twitter.com/chrislhayes/status/1248675300088651776 …

    The excess death data in NYC is so so upsetting and staggering and still isn't, as far as I know, being integrated into the official counts.

        I recall a friend of mine in Italy, telling me this happened during their peak. The hospitals were so overwhelmed people went home, a few weeks ago he said they were finding so many dead people in their homes. 😪💔

        Exactly, for the same reason that homicide rates are the most solid indicator of a city’s crime rate— unlike other crime reports, they’re basically impossible to fudge.

        This was the most comprehensive I’ve seen, suggesting three times the official toll in Italy: https://www.economist.com/graphic-detail/2020/04/03/covid-19s-death-toll-appears-higher-than-official-figures-suggest …

        My sense is that New York didn't shut down quite soon enough, Where I work it was on our minds, but the mayor of Paramus, NJ, shut down the malls there sooner, and all of New York's businesses should have seen this as a cue
