4月6日,美国新增 30331 例病例和 1255 例死亡病例
据纽约市估计,纽约市每天还有额外 180 - 195 人死于新冠肺炎但不在官方数字中。“在这场危机的早期,我们能够检测在家中死亡的人。但是那些日子早已过去。我们根本没有测试大量在家里死亡的病人的能力。现在只有那些在死亡前得到检测确认的少数人在他们的死亡证明上被标记为冠状病毒的受害者。这几乎肯定意味着我们低估了这场大流行的受害者总数,”纽约市议会卫生委员会主席马克 · 莱文说。
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。
