  Doesn't seem quite right but not too far off. .25% of NYC's population is 21,000. Johns Hopkins shows 14,451 deaths as of now: https://gisanddata.maps.arcgis.com/apps/opsdashboard/index.html#/bda7594740fd40299423467b48e9ecf6 https://gisanddata.maps.arcgis.com/apps/opsdashboard/index.h...

  As of today, 10,344 confirmed deaths [0] from COVID-19, of a population of 8.4m [1] is 0.12% [2]. This is less than the original parent states, but only by 2x.

      That’s New York State. My numbers are for the city proper.

    Not all the deaths are tested for COVID. Those that aren't don't make it into the stats. [1] Overall mortality, compared to the baseline, has skyrocketed in the past few weeks. For the March 4 - April 4 time period, it was double the usual rate.

      Yes, this is a very obvious and severe underestimate for sure. But the point is that the death rate must be at least 0.12%!

  Look up a death toll Look up population Derive percentage https://www.google.com/search?q=nyc+population https://www.google.com/search?q=nyc+population says 8.4M https://www.google.com/search?q=corona+death+toll+nyc https://www.google.com/search?q=corona+death+toll+nyc says 10k https://nypost.com/2020/04/18/nyc-coronavirus-deaths-near-13000-but-daily-toll-is-going-down https://nypost.com/2020/04/18/nyc-coronavirus-deaths-near-13... says 13k This gives 0.1%. The OP's numbers are based on 6M population & 15k deaths. I believe their trying to cite total deaths, not just covid-19 related. Their NYC region also seems to be more localized
