New York Governor Andrew Cuomo is giving an update Wednesday on the state’s response to the coronavirus<\/a> pandemic, which has killed more than 10,000 people in the state. Cuomo on Tuesday reported another 778 deaths from COVID-19, up from 671 deaths in the state the day before.<\/p>\n “That number is up, and that is to me the most painful number, and it has been the most painful number every day,” he said Tuesday.<\/p>\n Poetrooper sends.<\/p>\n WILLIAM DAVIS<\/strong><\/p>\n New York City added nearly 4,000 people who never tested positive for the coronavirus to its death toll Tuesday, bringing coronavirus-related deaths in the city to around 10,000 people.<\/p>\n The city<\/a> decided to add 3,700 people to its death tolls, who they \u201cpresumed\u201d to have died from the virus, according<\/a> to a report from The New York Times<\/a>. The additions increased the death toll in the U.S. by 17%, according to the Times report, and included people who were suffering from symptoms of the virus, such as intense coughing and a fever.<\/p>\n The report stated that Democratic New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio decided over the weekend to change the way the city is counting deaths.<\/p>\n \u201cIn the heat of battle, our primary focus has been on saving lives,\u201d de Blasio press secretary Freddi Goldstein told the Times.\u201cAs soon as the issue was raised, the mayor immediately moved to release the data.\u201d<\/p>\n The Times report added that health officials have had difficulty counting the exact number of deaths, because of the demographics who have been hit the hardest by the virus.<\/p>\n \u201cPublic health officials say that counting the dead from a pandemic disease like Covid-19 presents difficulties because many of those who die are older or suffering from other serious health conditions,\u201d they wrote. \u201cAnd the full effects of the outbreak on mortality in New York City, and around the country, could take many more months to study and understand.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n Hmmm. I understand New York hospitals are receiving $12,000 per reported COVID-19 case, so that’s about $44,400,000 of our tax dollars Bolshevik Bill has added to the coronavirus tab. To paraphrase Uncle Joe, it doesn’t matter who dies, it’s who counts the deaths.<\/p>\n Read the rest of the article here: Daily Caller<\/a><\/p>\n Thanks, Poe.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"NYC Adds Nearly 4,000 People Who Never Tested Positive To Coronavirus Death Tolls<\/h3>\n
