#5 a lot of things going on

the same social distancing done for the WU also limits the spread of the seasonal flu

fewer cars on the road, fewer accidents and deaths

social distancing is also limiting gang related violence

contrary effects include, more mental depression related suicides, etc.

#6 I'm willing to bet lower fately hospital "mistakes" are another reason.

#7 Well the increased suicide and domestic battery numbers haven't been applied yet.

#8 Mullah, the various stories at R-Burg today would make it seem that more people are "going-up-around -the-bend". Probably, no more than usual though.

#9 Not in NYC.
Per CDC's weekly report, NYC year to date fatalities from all causes have increased by about 8,000, or 63%, vs NYC's three-year comparable average for 2017-2019.

But CDC data shows total COVID-related deaths account for only slightly over half of that increase.

So that means, whole NYC was diverting urgent healthcare and public safety resources to COVID, 3,500 or so ADDITIONAL (vs 2917-2019 averages), incremental, very likely preventable deaths occurred in NYC.

Nice work, folks.

#10 Sorry above link is the wrong one
Here are the CDC tallies - state breakouts including a separate breakout for NYC are shown toward the bottom of the page

Latest provisional CDC data:
..5,870 NYC COVID-related fatalities year to date
22,286 NYC total fatalities year to date, all causes
= 71% increase vs 3-year average total NYC fatalities for comparable period through mid-April
= ~9,300 additional fatalities in 2020
= ~3,400 additional NON-COVID fatalities so far this year in NYC ... extrapolates to ca. 10,000 additional preventable non-epidemic deaths this year in NYC

#11 Probably all the hospital's fault, Lex, if not OrangeManBad.
