NYC is so bad they had to separate the area from its state because it would skew the data

    Wait, am I misreading this or is it legit saying 1 in 346 NYC residents died to covid? Like 0.3% of the entire city's population?

      8.3 million people live in NYC. 24’346 deaths so yeah, 0.3%.

      333’000 cases, that’s 4% of the population, and a >7% mortality rate.

          Reminder that mid-April there was ~1’000 death a day. This is what happens when hospitals get overwhelmed.
