New York already has almost 600 deaths reported for today and it's not even 12noon over there yet. My goodness.
I know it's too late for those who are already infected, but I really hope the rate of new infections starts trending down soon.

So sad that it’s hard to trust anything said by this administration.
Is this week being the worst week based on anything other than the wishful thinking of Trumpito?
Genuine question for the people who have looked at and studied the curves and patterns and what they truly foretell.....

It’s illegal right now in MD to hold a service with more than 10 people. Churches breaking that shyt left and right. I know of a church in DC where a lot of black folks from PG go. They had a revival last weekend and mad folks got that shyt. A few older folks even diedyep glad my home pastor closed down service, if not I'm sure my grandmother would be right there.

Can’t really speak about the nation as a whole, but the short answer would be I suspect they get reported but there is a delay in them getting added to the count.
at least for patients who get tested in the hospital but then go home, when people die at home there is a whole process that involves the coroner, completing death certificates, notifying hospitals where the patient was recently seen, etc. So during that process hospitals get notified so that medical records can be updated to reflect that someone has died. not just in this instance With covid19 but under even normal circumstances. It doesn’t happen immediately though.
now for people who got tested out in the community and never came to a hospital, the process is likely similar. We collect info on people who get tested for epidemiological purposes (tracking cases in counties, to avoid counting duplicate results as unique cases, etc). All this gets forwarded to health department and included in reports that we have been following. If these patients die at home, I suspect a similar process from above happens. Maybe slower, maybe faster. Not sure.
for people who die at home and never get tested, even if suspicion for covid19 I assume they don’t get counted at all since it wasn’t confirmed.
as soon as you humans gone. We taking back over.
