NYC Officials Just Artificially Increased Their COVID Death Total by 57%
If a national catastrophe isn’t bad enough, make it worse.
That appears to be the thinking behind a decision by New York City officials this week that sent the number of dead attributed to the coronavirus outbreak in the city soaring to
more than 10,000 — a 57 percent increase over the previous count.
And these are numbers Americans are supposed to trust forevermore.
Unfortunately, in a United States where the mainstream media daily shows itself to be
ever more corrupt, trust is in short supply.
According to
The New York Times, New York City’s death count attributed to COVID-19, the disease caused by the coronavirus, was a disastrous 6,589 on Tuesday, before NYC officials announced a decision that increased the death toll by more than half.
A number of fatalities more than double the deaths that took place in the 9/11 attacks is bad, but clearly not bad enough for the regime of
leftist Democrat Mayor Bill de Blasio, which decided to add more than 3,700 deaths that might have been caused by the coronavirus, though no tests could prove it.
The added deaths — 3,778, according to
Bloomberg — not only increased the number in New York City, of course.
They also sent the national death toll to more than 26,000, an increase of 17 percent, The Times reported.
Now, there’s no doubt at least some of those deaths could be attributed to COVID-19 since, as Bloomberg reported, the deceased showed symptoms including coughing, shortness of breath and fever, hallmarks of the deadly infection. That doesn’t mean
all of them should be counted that way.
It’s an artificial number, serving a need that’s very real to Democrats and the
mainstream media.
