New York City hit a grim milestone this week, recording more than 20,000 coronavirus deaths throughout the five boroughs — that is, unless you ask Gov. Andrew Cuomo's office, which says the city is still weeks away from that mark
that he planned to start reporting probable deaths as soon as possible. But as of Wednesday, the state count was still thousands of deaths shy of the city’s.
Officials did not account for the hold-up. State Health Department spokesperson Jonah Bruno said the state currently relies on fatality data reported by hospitals, nursing homes and other facilities and only includes confirmed Covid-19 deaths in its fatality tracker. “In certain circumstances, people weren’t tested. Tests weren’t available. The tests have known false negatives,” Aiken told POLITICO. “I don’t know why they wouldn’t count probables.”
And people may have been dying from Covid-19 before authorities even realized the virus was spreading and started testing for it.
