Spike of at-home fatalities conceals New York’s true COVID-19 death toll | Sky News AustraliaSky News contributor Michael Ware says New York could have a colossal hidden COVID-19 death toll on top of its tally which climbed to 799 in one day.\n\n“If people die at home and haven’t been diagnosed with coronavirus, then we aren’t yet adding them to the death toll,” he said.\n\n“It used to be the case that there was 25 deaths at home in New York state a day, right now it’s 250 deaths a day.”\n\nMr Ware said the pandemic hit New York so hard the government had to ration funeral directors. \n\n“Here in America, we just broke 16,000 deaths today, more than 1,000 people, nearly 2,000 people a day are dying,” he said.\n\n“They’re now revising the death toll down to 61,000.” \n\nMr Ware described the COVID-19 outbreak in the US as a war against an invisible enemy on two fronts — the public health war and the economic war — which has so far forced 16.8 million Americans to apply for unemployment insurance for the first time since mid-March.\n\n“We haven’t seen numbers like that since shortly after World War II,” he said.\n\nImage: AP\n
