Every government has a justification to minimize Covid deaths. And that quote is the 'official death toll'.
My guess is this is grossly underreported. My original idea to track deaths was to compare before-covid year-to-year to during and after. Using death records would sidestep the 'died from covid' and 'died from covid but written down as something else'.
But hot damn. My post is at -4. Sure seems like people really don't appreciate 'intellectual curiosity' that much.
- hervature 3y agoI think you may be getting downvoted for a couple of reasons. First, your "original idea" is called excess deaths and it has been reported since the beginning of the pandemic [1]. The entire state of NY had 42k excess deaths. If all these deaths came form NYC, that would be 0.5% of the population which is in line with the GP. Which brings us to the point of why some people are downvoting. Some people believe that COVID deaths were over reported, not under reported.
