4月6日,美國新增 30331 例病例和 1255 例死亡病例
據紐約市估計,紐約市每天還有額外 180 - 195 人死於新冠肺炎但不在官方數字中。“在這場危機的早期,我們能夠檢測在家中死亡的人。但是那些日子早已過去。我們根本沒有測試大量在家裏死亡的病人的能力。現在只有那些在死亡前得到檢測確認的少數人在他們的死亡證明上被標記為冠狀病毒的受害者。這幾乎肯定意味着我們低估了這場大流行的受害者總數,”紐約市議會衞生委員會主席馬克 · 萊文説。
An estimated additional 180 - 195 deaths per day occurring at home in New York City due to COVID-19 are not being counted in the official figures. “Early on in this crisis we were able to swab people who died at home, and thus got a coronavirus reading. But those days are long gone. We simply don’t have the testing capacity for the large numbers dying at home. Now only those few who had a test confirmation *before* dying are marked as victims of coronavirus on their death certificate. This almost certainly means we are undercounting the total number of victims of this pandemic,” said Mark Levine, Chair of New York City Council health committee。
