“#New York publicizing lower COVID death count than fed figures<\/strong>”<\/p>\n

\n

New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo\u2019s administration has continued publicizing a much lower state COVID-19 death toll count than the numbers being presented to and displayed by the federal government, a new report revealed.<\/p>\n

The state and federal coronavirus death toll differential has even widened this year to a current reported gap of 11,000 \u2014 despite numerous investigations into the Cuomo administration for lowballing the number of nursing home COVID-19 deaths, according to a review by the Associated Press<\/a>. <\/p>\n

News<\/a> of New York\u2019s undercount comes months after Florida Gov. Ron Desantis was erroneously accused of doing the same thing.<\/p>\n

As of this week, New York publicized a COVID-19 death toll of roughly 43,000, compared to the Centers for Disease Control public tally of about 54,000. <\/p>\n

The total, higher federal count, includes people who have died with coronavirus as a cause or contributing factor listed on their death certificate, the report said. <\/p>\n

Cuomo has refused to include \u201cprobable\u201d coronavirus fatalities in the state\u2019s reporting, but New York City has done so since April 2020. <\/p>\n

Many other states including Florida have taken app<\/a>roaches in line with the CDC, which includes in fatality counts all cases where COVID-19 is an associated or contributing factor.<\/p>\n

A March Yahoo report, citing research published in the American Public Health Association, had suggested The Sunshine State\u2019s skewed their COVID-19 numbers, basing the assessment off a discrepancy in the state\u2019s excess-death count.<\/p>\n

But an analysis by The Washington Post<\/a> debunked allegations of undercounting in Florida. <\/p>\n

In New York, this year, CDC data shows 3,200 more COVID-19 deaths than the state\u2019s own numbers.<\/p>\n

\u201cNew York State reports every single COVID-19 death publicly \u2013 every confirmed death reported by hospitals, nursing homes and adult care facilities in the state tracker and all preliminary death certificate data, including unconfirmed cases and home deaths, to the federal government which in turn reports that data online, allowing the public full access to all of this detailed data on a daily basis,\u201d a spokesperson for New York\u2019s Department of Health told The Post. <\/p>\n

News of New York\u2019s latest \u201cundercounting\u201d has angered critics.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe overall undercounting of COVID deaths is the nursing home scandal all over again,\u201d said Bill Hammond, senior fellow at the Empire Center Center for Public Policy.<\/p>\n

Hammond and the Empire Center filed a Freedom of Information Act lawsuit against Cuomo after the state refused to release the total number of nursing home residents who died from the coronavirus.<\/p>\n

A judge ruled the Cuomo administration violated the law and ordered them to release the complete data to the Empire Center.<\/p>\n

A separate stinging report by state Attorney General<\/a> Letitia James found that the state was undercounting COVID-19 nursing home resident deaths by 50 percent.<\/p>\n

\u201cAfter what\u2019s happened, Cuomo doesn\u2019t deserve the benefit of the doubt. You have to suspect the motives,\u201d said Hammond.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe knew they were violating the law on nursing homes. That was a political decision on their part to save face,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n
