COVID-19 pandemic killed more than 80K in NY, almost 1.13M across US, CDC tally shows

The coronavirus pandemic, while officially over, has killed a staggering 80,000-plus New Yorkers — and a total 1.13 million Americans — impacting virtually every facet of our lives.

The latest data compiled by the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention shows 80,485 people in New York state died during the COVID-19 emergency — about half of them in New York City.

The New York City region was the initial epicenter of the COVID outbreak, but its quick spread also affected the rest of the nation.

From March 2020 through last week — when a federal law approved by Congress and President Biden ended the emergency — the virus killed 1,127,928 Americans.

Some elected officials and public health experts are urging people to stay current with COVID vaccinations — especially the elderly and immunocompromised.     

“Even though the federal public health emergency has ended, I encourage every New Yorker to remain vigilant against COVID-19 and use all available tools to keep themselves, their loved ones and their communities safe and healthy,” Gov. Kathy Hochul said in her latest COVID update.

The virus doesn't get all the credit. The approved treatments were a killer, too, and the inability of people to get the 'unapproved' treatments was another.

Another flaw was the financial incentive to label deaths as being form COVID. Hit by a bus but tested positive?
COVID.

Shot eight times and tested positive?

COVID.

etc.

On top of which, deaths from the flu miraculously almost disappeared.

We will never know how many people actually died from Covid, considering that no matter what the actual cause of death, cancer, flu, accident, whatever, if the person/corpse tested positive for Covid that was the COD...especially when hospitals were paid double for Covid patients.

Basically.

Well, except for the nursing homes they stuffed COVID patients into, where most there had a raft of comorbidities and were not allowed to visit with kinfolks to keep even their morale up.

I agree that the statistics were inflated as these post mention.
I also find it curious that the daily death toll went away from the evening news, once Biden was in office.
I did hear a brief mention when it passed the 1 million mark, during Biden's time.
