NYC Health Department: Overwhelming Majority of Coronavirus Deaths Involve Underlying Conditions

By Hannah Bleau, Breitbart, April 4, 2020:

Data released by the New York City Department of Health and Mental Hygiene on Wednesday revealed that the vast majority of coronavirus patients, who were treated at NYC facilities but ultimately died as a result of the virus, had at least one underlying health condition.

The data, which reflects events and activities as of April 1, 2020 at 9:30 a.m. ET, showed that the majority of coronavirus-related deaths in the city — 1,139 based on the data provided in the release —  involved individuals with underlying illnesses or conditions. Those, according to NYC Health, include lung disease, cancer, diabetes, immunodeficiency, heart disease, hypertension, asthma, kidney disease, and GI/ liver disease.

The data set divides the groups in three categories — age, sex, and borough. It reflected the broader trend of the coronavirus having a more devastating impact on individuals 75 and over. However, it also revealed that, across every age group, the majority of those who passed away as a result of the virus had some type of underlying health condition.

Of the 66 individuals between the ages of 18-44 who passed away due to the coronavirus, only two had no record of underlying health conditions. Forty-four had underlying conditions, and another 20 are listed as “Underlying Conditions Pending.”

Of the 271 persons between the ages of 45 and 64, 189 are listed as definitively having underlying health conditions, with 73 remaining under the pending category. Nine in that group had no known underlying illness.

The results hold steady for those who fell into the 65-74 age group, with 197 of the 268 who passed away also having at least one underlying condition. Seventy-one are pending.

The majority of those 75 and older who died as a result of the virus, 358 of 533, were also listed as having an underlying medical condition. Only three had no known underlying issue, and the remaining 172 are pending results.

NYC Health reported 44,915 confirmed cases of the virus in the city as of Wednesday morning.

This article didn’t mention the most dramatic skewing of the mortality rates: if you test positive for coronavirus and even if you do not have virus symptoms and you die in the hospital of any number of old age diseases – coronavirus will be listed as The Cause of Death ‘with complications’. This is unscientific and simply flies in the face of all infectious disease statistical standards.

Exactly. Those reporting in from hospitals have been told to err on the side of caution to include what you stated. So the results are more or less meaningless. For example, if I have pancreatic cancer and already dying of it and pick up the virus, the virus gets credit for my death – not cancer.

Yes, this issue is very important. It’s always hard for docs to fill out those death certificates, because pneumonia patients usually have several things wrong with them. What caused what? In fact, the game is over when multiple organ failure takes over, because those organs are needed to stay alive. However, one may argue that no matter what started the end-state cascade, it probably would not have happened at this time, but Covid-19 took hold and that finished things. Thus, calling the cause of death Covid-19 is approximately right in most cases of pneumonia.

But if a skateboarder gets Covid-19 and is hit by a car, then the cause of death should read ‘traffic accident’.

And of course, it’s crazy to think that all doctors worldwide will record Covid-19 deaths exactly the same way. They will vary a lot.

The complication is usually sepsis, which SARS-CoV-2 can cause.

Nah, it’s better to clean out the people that are OLD as well as less then perfect with pre-existing health conditions. These deaths will have less people needing healthcare and less people collecting Medicare, or Social Security. Plus it is the boomer generation and older who often still have some what more conservative views and see through the global agenda. They need to go so the younger brain washed knowledgless, emotionally driven imbeciles can push unsound nonsense. It has become a RELIGION to them. See how nicely that works out?

BTW facial masks or coverings to be effective requires all people to wear them. This is what made a large difference in South Korea from spreading it. Look at it this way – if I am wearing one, I am protecting YOU from ME. My germs are contained while yours are not. If BOTH wear protective face coverings, then each of us contains our own germs. Breath on a mirror or glass and see what I mean. Just one person wearing it, doesn’t have the ideal effect you want.

This issue of proper epidemic mortality counts is age-old. In the Spanish flu of 1918-1919, mortality estimates still vary between 30 and 100 million. India is estimated at 20 million mortalities, when the epidemic spread form sea ports. . But that estimate is just silly. It’s a wild guess. In 1918, we would have had no proper way to estimate mortality rates from a single cause like Covid-19 in India, when it spread to unknown places, and caused unknown effects. Therefore we may never know the total mortality from Spanish flu. And the estimates for H1N1 swine flu of 2009 are also really bad.

China is awful with death certificates. Every Covid-19 mortality is simply called pneumonia, with no mention of Covid-19.

I have been trying very hard to get face masks. There are none available as far as I can see. Apparently USAID recently wiped out the US stocks of masks and sent them overseas. We need to get rid of all these do-gooders who like to do-good with other people’s money.

why would anyone believe anything spouted by the deep state or the democrat media? the fact is, none of us have any idea what is really going on with death data from this hysteria. this article sounds like we have a virus, like the flu, that is thinning the infirm from the herd.

Whichever way this blows, one thing is certain: We are all being played. Even Trump and his task force.

The task force members are part of the deep state. Surely Trump knows that. I keep hoping he is appearing to play along while planning another outcome for the US and the world from what they intend.

“Keep the old and sick self isolating and get everyone back to life, work, etc.
Shutting down the world is not the answer.”

I’d add the younger generation to this “self isolating” thing. Many young’uns, thinking they’re immortal, engage in reckless behaviors that if anything help facilitate the spread of this virus. Think the college idiots converging on the South Florida beaches during Spring Break.

Yes, Drug addicts, smokers, and vape users are vulnerable to Covid-19, because it attacks the lungs.

Now don’t go throwing facts and truth into the mix…they make the libturd’s tiny brain cell explode! They count anyone who dies from the beervirus. What we need to see is how many die and how many die from the virus…I’d bet money that they are the same or within 2% of each other.

One doctor has stated that most of the coronavirus patients he has treated were either diabetic, pre-diabetic, or had a body mass index of 30 or higher (obese).

To figure your BMI, take your weight in kilograms and divide it by the square of your height in meters. A BMI of less than 18.5 is underweight, 18.5 to 24.9 is normal, 25.0 to 29.9 is overweight, and 30 and above is obese.

Mine calculated out at 23.9.
