This was brought up during the daily Cuomo yesterday. The media have not fully explained the new reporting (am I cynical if I say so they get better clicks?)
CDC mandated that all localities, not just NYC/NYS, count probable deaths in addition to those where a covid positive test was available. These figures are not part of the 'official' covid death totals but instead are a separate category.
The reason this has been done is likely due to the reports coming from NYFD/PD concerning the much higher incidence of finding dead people when called. Those bodies are not being brought to hospitals for autopsie or anything else if there are no suspicious circumstances. By one report I read a few days back, a year ago it was typical to have encounter 25 dead on 911 calls over a 24 hour period. They are now seeing upwards of 200.
