On the internet no one knows if you are a dog. I'm quite sure you know the rest!

So, we’re supposed to guess you're a rubber doll now. Sorry.

The body count undoubtedly greatly under-represents the actual deaths. Many people get sick, delay going to the hospital, and then die suddenly at home. They are not counted because they were never "officially" diagnosed. This week in New York the EMTs were getting DOA calls in the range of 200 to 260 per day. The normal is 20.

You have evidence that the extra 180-240 who died at home weren't counted as death by COVID-19?

The fact that the body count for NYC alone represents over 1/3 of all fatalities nationwide clearly illustrates that some states are getting it right or NYC is just insanely unlucky. But that's on Cuomo and DeBlasio.

Florida has 10% of the cases as NY and less than 10% of the number of deaths as NY despite having 2 million more people living there. Texas also has a much lower count.

Are you suggesting that population density has nothing to do with it?
