NYC is 2.6% of the population of the United States and they have 7,076 #coronavirus deaths so far. If the rest of the country were no more successful at avoiding deaths than NYC, what would be the national death toll?

Coroner’s, not Doctors, often make the determination. Rarely is the cause of death medically meaningful except in the case of foul play or negligence. Without an autopsy, it is a meaningless argument. Total deaths is a better indicator of mortality. Mortality rates spiked.

Depends. IF well controlled diabetes; minimal heart, kidney damage; then Covid-19 is cause. IF diabetes, severe heart and kidney disease; then Covid-19 is not really cause (died with virus, not from virus). ...just my (MD) opinion...

And the point being? He still dies from Covid-19. Take Covid-19 out of the equation, he might have lived. Or he might have died. But we won’t know hence the defaulting to the virus that we know is highly contagious and deadly for people with co-morbidities.

If a kid is accidentally smothered by a caregiver, and tests positive for C19 post-mortem at the hospital, do we count it as C19? Because apparently that's what happened in CT.

Is it true that pneumonia and flu deaths are nearly at zero?

That’s your intuitive gues but I agree more with doctors thinking that’s not kosher. Plus Italy did the same thing and it was 12%. We are not Italy but that’s a compelling parallel.
