As of Monday afternoon, 2,738 New York City residents have died from ‘confirmed’ cases of COVID-19, according to the city Department of Health. That’s an average of 245 a day since the previous Monday.

But another 200 city residents are now dying at home each day, compared to 20 to 25 such deaths before the pandemic, said Aja Worthy-Davis, a spokeswoman for the medical examiner’s office. And an untold number of them are unconfirmed.

Listen to reporter Gwynne Hogan discuss her story on WNYC:

That’s because the ME’s office is not testing dead bodies for COVID-19. Instead, they’re referring suspected cases to the city’s health department as “probable.”

“If someone dies at home, and we go to the home and there [are] signs of influenza, our medical examiner may determine the cause of death was clearly an influenza-like illness, potentially COVID or an influenza-like illness believed to be COVID,” said Worthy-Davis. “We report all our deaths citywide to the health department, who releases that data to the public.”

But the health department does not include that number in the official count unless it is confirmed, a spokesman said.

Με λίγα λόγια, οι ημερήσιοι θάνατοι στο σπίτι στην Νέα Υόρκη έχουν ανέβει από τους 20 την ημέρα στους 200 την ημέρα, το οποίο σημαίνει ότι μάλλον γύρω στους 180 θανάτους την ημέρα από τον ιό δεν υπολογίζονται στις επίσημες στατιστικές. Συγκλονιστικό.

Άραγε, να συμβαίνει και στην Ελλάδα;

Φυσικά και είναι δυνατόν.
