For March 11 through May 2, a new report counts nearly 5,300 extra deaths that don't fit in either the confirmed or probable coronavirus categories.
For March 11 through May 2, the report counts nearly 5,300 extra deaths that don't fit in either the confirmed or probable coronavirus categories.
"The counting of confirmed and probable COVID-19–associated deaths," says the report,"might not include deaths among persons with SARS-CoV-2 infection who did not access diagnostic testing, tested falsely negative, or became infected after testing negative, died outside of a health care setting, or for whom COVID-19 was not suspected by a health care provider as a cause of death.
There were 5,293 deaths in excess of normal and not identified as COVID-19 laboratory confirmed or probable deaths, 22 percent of all excess deaths. The study says,"the 5,293 excess deaths not identified as confirmed or probable COVID-19–associated deaths might have been directly or indirectly attributable to the pandemic."
The study also hypothesizes that the demand on hospitals and health care providers coupled with fear about the virus might have led to delays in people seeking lifesaving care and resulted in additional deaths.Tom Winter is a New York-based correspondent covering crime, courts, terrorism and financial fraud on the East Coast for the NBC News Investigative Unit.
