#3 CDC data YTD as of Apr-24 for New York City:

Total Fatalities...Increase vs 3-Yr Ave (%, #)..COVID Fatalities
25,978..............98%; 13,000 increase..........8,073

So NYC in the year of COVID has seen, relative to the average for the last three years, a spike in unrelated deaths amounting to about 5,000 incremental deaths so far this year, and on track to reach about 15,000 for 2020.

CDC doesn't break out the causes of those thousands of additional deaths but it's a good bet that nearly all of them were preventable: people requiring urgent care who were denied it in the panicky overreaction to COVID.

While Cuomo and Mayor Lutz were bloviating about ventilators, thousands of their citizens were denied surgeries, emergency treatments and other urgent care that could have saved their lives.

De Blasio (and maybe also Cuomo) needs to be prosecuted for this gross malpractice that is literally killing thousands of his own citizens.
