> "Something PROBABLY was the coronavirus?". So you're from the camp of "someone was shot 9 times, so he died from corona virus". Specifically, I counted COVID-19 "confirmed deaths" plus "probable deaths" from https://www1.nyc.gov/site/doh/covid/covid-19-data.page https://www1.nyc.gov/site/doh/covid/covid-19-data.page. The probable deaths are defined as: > People who did not have a positive COVID-19 laboratory test, but their death certificate lists as the cause of death "COVID-19" or an equivalent. Since tests are scarce, they're not necessarily being used to confirm people who died at home or who died during triage. But COVID-19 is pretty distinctive, and in any case, the COVID-19 deaths are only a portion of the excess mortality.
