TLDR: medic in NYC worked 12 cardiac arrests in one day, all died, all strongly suspected to be covid 19 positive and none were tested or counted in the 594 that died that day in NY.
He said a typical week would see 2 or 3 of those cardiac calls.
For the sake of discussion and further analysis, do we think 3,700 people with terrible hacking coughs AND shortness of breath causing breathing struggles didn't go to the ER much less call a doctor? A terrible hacking cough causing pain and struggling to breath; the thought going to the ER surely crosses your mind.
Here are some other things we don't know about that could contribute to the deaths:
- Increased stress with existing medical conditions
- Suicides (I honestly think less likely)
- Drug overdoses
The correlation doesn't necessarily mean it's the cause. It's probably a good guess considering the time frame, and may ultimately be proven true, but officials making decisions are presuming something they don't yet have the data to validate. Whether they are using that to make a decision I don't know.
What if those 5 of those extra cardiac arrests are due to stress or drugs? The paper behind that graph you posted doesn't have any actual hard number data related to causes because the death cause reporting is behind.
Stop questioning the fear mongers bro. They have been dead on through all of this.
