People can’t seem to help themselves.
Thanks for the link. The analysis estimates an infection mortality rate of 1.4% for New York City, and seems reasonable, but it does raise some questions regarding what number should be used as the number of people that have died due to the virus. They used [FONT=noto sans, sans-serif]"the number of deaths above expected seasonal baseline levels, regardless of the reported cause of death" as the number of Covid-19 deaths rather than the number of deaths diagnosed as Covid-19 deaths. It appears that this may be a more accurate estimate of Covid-19 deaths, but it is an estimate, not an actual number of deaths due to Covid-19. Also, the number of "excess deaths" (as of May 2) for 2020 that I see on the CDC site today appears to be lower than the number used in the analysis.Will have to take another look at the interview but there are two mortality rates - the Crude Mortality Rate (the number of reported deaths divided by the reported cases) which is 3-4% and Infection Mortality Rate (the number of reported deaths divided by the number of infections) which is lower.
Here is data from New York as of May (and other places as you scroll below):

.
It will be interesting to see more data and see if the infection mortality rate is lower for lower population densities.
Why does everything have to be a conspiracy?
Here come the politics again
Really?! And what a.wayne said to start this ("NYC mortality rate is from applied negligence and incompetence, when the dust settles Cuomo will have to answer ...! ) was somehow not politics. Why is that when conservatives make a statement against liberal politicians it is not politics but when liberals do it, it is politics? You Trump lovers sure have a thin skin!

You doubt the numbers and claim they are being manipulated. Sounds like conspiracy thinking to me. Sorry.
Not sure if you were talking to me or not, but when you have conflicting info from every direction you look, one or more of them is not telling the whole complete truth.
Out of curiosity, what is the 'complete truth'?
Which numbers?
The ones where they put Covid on Death Certs of people who did not die from Covid?
The ones where they may have used faulty tests that gave either False Positives OR False Negatives?
The Numbers CNN posts?
The Death Scroll on the local News?
The Numbers coming from the White House?
The numbers from the WHO that can no longer ever be trusted?
The numbers from China, Russia, and N. Korea which will never be the Truth?
Which Numbers?
Brian, thanks for proving my point. All conspiracy talking points. I really see no point wasting my time here with this kind of thinking. Btw, it frankly says a lot about you when you resort to name calling.
I have logged back on just to point out that I was referring to your Joe Biden comment. The fact that you are so tribal and can’t seem to understand that is too bad. I am done with AS. Life is really too short to deal with this type of nonsense on an audio site.
I think I have been the only person to state numerous times that threads like these don’t belong on an audio forum. These threads may start off with the assumption that people won’t interject politics into them, but they always do.
We will never get an accurate count of deaths that were solely from Covid
We will never find out why the WHO let this get around the world before they spoke up
I agree with you on this MEP, I ducked out of the last one but not this time around once it turned to Politics as usual. Sorry to the OP who I know was just trying to get his videos out there. If this were "just' a Pandemic and not in the middle of an Election year behind a 3.5 year wast of my tax dollars in witch hunts, the threads may have been able to stay on track.
Mike should Shut this one down and we should all just agree to leave Politics off of this great Audio Forum.
Better just shutting you out.
