Normally in NYC 20-25 people die at home each day.
We are now at 200-215. Every day.
For sure nearly all the increase is people w/ coronavirus. But not all are being counted that way.
One reason that the official NYC covid death count--already high--is certainly an undercount.

Only people who die at home who are known to have a *positive coronavirus test* have the disease listed as the official cause on their death certificate. We know there are many others going uncounted.
