We all get some sort of news whether listening on the television/radio or reading the internet /newspapers. The numbers are frightening especially when you look at earlier reports. New York City has had the highest number of deaths, As a native New Yorker I find this disturbing on many levels.
I feel the whole death toll in New York City and the United States is undercounted due to the limitations in testing. The CDC stated that their tallies only include deaths with confirmed laboratory testing. This is fine but WILL LEAD to an underestimation of the true number of deaths.I believe states could be counting death tolls differently based on the above statement by the FDA
WE need more testing NOW WE need reliable testing. I know many laboratories have testing now- but are they reliable. In one day I read there different states interpreting deaths differently. This cannot happen
For example in New York City there has been an increase in number of deaths This could be happening as people suspected of dying from COVID 19 were added ( but were never tested) I read about how Colorado and Alabama are interpreting deaths. There is no consistency
The bottom line is people are dying. We need testing as soon as possible. People need to be tested before they go back to work Kudos to Governor Cuomo and Murphy
Until tomorrow…
