The nyc.gov link magicalist posted reports:
11460 confirmed covid-19 deaths
5213 probable but unconfirmed covid 19 deaths
10964 not know to be probable and not confirmed deaths (all non-covid deaths)
Which adds up to 27637 total deaths.
Your graph shows ~ 20000 total deaths. That's significantly different.
Also, the sources for the graph you posted are:
1. https://gis.cdc.gov/grasp/fluview/mortality.html https://gis.cdc.gov/grasp/fluview/mortality.html
which as far as I can get it to show, only counts deaths from pneumonia regardless of cause. So I really don't understand why they listed that as a source for the graph as that information isn't displayed.
2. covidtracking.com
Which could be the source of their numbers for covid deaths but that leaves no source for their totals.
- SnowProblem 6y agoThanks for correcting me, and to magicalist. I apologize. This was difficult to find, but here's the breakdown for causes of death each week: https://data.cdc.gov/NCHS/Weekly-Counts-of-Deaths-by-State-and-Select-Causes/muzy-jte6 https://data.cdc.gov/NCHS/Weekly-Counts-of-Deaths-by-State-a... In New York, total deaths from heart-related diseases is up, not down, since covid. I do see some weirdness in other states, but not New York.
