Less than two weeks ago, Italian newspaper Corriere Della Sera published the results of an informal study that appeared to show that, in some regions of the country, non-coronavirus deaths were rising at an alarming rate alongside confirmed COVID-19 deaths — that the total death count was up as much as sixfold from previous years. Those deaths officially attributed to the coronavirus accounted for barely a quarter of the increase.
And Italy isn’t alone. In Spain, El País obtained a study that showed mortality rates in some regions had almost doubled, with only a fraction of the increase officially attributed to COVID-19. So what accounts for all those other deaths? Is the ultimate death toll from this pandemic going to be that much higher everywhere than is understood at the time?
Generally, at this time of year, there are between 2,694 and 3,002 deaths per week. The most recent mortality rates in the Netherlands show that a total of 4,718 people died in the week from 26 March to 1 April 2020. This means that an estimated 1,716 to 2,024 more people died than expected in this week. This number is approximately twice as high as the COVID-19 deaths reported to RIVM in the same week.
But according to City Council Member Mark Levine, who chairs the health committee, between 200 and 215 are dying at home every day at present.

Just because everyone is doing it does not make it right. The low mortality rate in China is because they were listing only direct deaths, not covid related deaths.

Jeeze,
How many people have to die before it sinks in that this virus is quite deadly.... more 33 year old nurses? More 30's NYC cops?
Hint: It is real, a lot of people are going to die.

Deaths in New York City Are More Than Double the Usual Total ... Over the 31 days ending April 4, more than twice the typical number of New Yorkers died
Ten times as many New Yorkers are dying in their homes than normal and they aren’t being tested for COVID-19

In New York City, somewhere around 20-25 people die at home on a typical day. But according to City Council Member Mark Levine, who chairs the health committee, between 200 and 215 are dying at home every day at present.
There’s been a spike in people dying at home in cities like Detroit. That suggests coronavirus deaths are higher than reported.

In Detroit, authorities responded to more than 150 “dead person observed” calls in the first 10 days of April. It was around 40 during the same period for the past three years.
