NY still has their old number of "confirmed deaths" which they were using previously and continue to report as a separate number from "probable deaths".
The article linked to doesn't mention that but what NY is doing makes sense. It lets us see the general trends using the old methodology while still being smart about counting going forward.
It is very open and every state + country should do something similar.
