10,290 deaths have been CONFIRMED as Covid deaths, whereas an addition 5,121 deaths were PROBABLE (with very shaky data on "probable"). We can also take issue with "dying WITH Covid" versus "dying FROM Covid."
If we go off of confirmed deaths, that's a rate of .59%. If we go off of probable deaths, that's a rate of .88%.
Realistically, that makes it roughly a .6% death rate based on preliminary data from an area with a large amount of minorities, unhealthy lifestyles, and poverty who live in ridiculously cramped conditions.
For context, a flu ranges from about a .1% death rate to a .2% death rate depending on strain and severity.
So, essentially, we caused an artificial depression for a worst case scenario (given NYC's unique traits and NY's inflated reporting) of .6%. It's roughly three times worse than a bad flu strain.
Draw your own conclusions (we should certainly open up at this point in my estimation), but your math was awful and I had to chime in there.
The population of New York City is 8.3 million.
21% of New York City has been infected.
That gives us 1,743,000 infections.

Now do the USC LA county study death rate
So once there’s a vaccine the death rate will probably equal that of the flu....no?
