Reminds me of the south Park episode where testicular cancer goes up at the same time kfc is banned in Colorado. So they start assuming kfc cures cancer.
Hey Pedes. Read the article before you comment. And the headline on this post is very misleading.
The article from the (Failing) NY Times says ambulances which usually are out picking up heart attack victims - are not doing it. They are sitting idle. This is reported at more than one hospital.
Article posits causes: People scared to go to hospital so they hope the mild symptoms aren't anything serious and stay home. People are not going out and eating and drinking as much, so fewer heart attacks triggered.
While I think the numbers in NYC are skewed (likely by union-influenced thugs) - this article says nothing at all along those lines.
"The most concerning possible explanation is that people stay home and suffer rather than risk coming to the hospital and getting infected with coronavirus."
I guess people would rather have a 100% chance of dying from a heart attack than a 1% chance of dying from coronavirus.
A local radio show host said his unhealthy elderly uncle was in the hospital with some type of flu-like illness. They hoped it was just pneumonia and not covid19.
because they are lying about almost EVERYTHING.

they had to fatten up NYCs numbers before they trended down
Not going to that site. Sorry.

Remember this next time you see a massive annual flu death number.
