"New York City included thousands of deaths, some of which happened happened weeks ago, in its updated COVID-19 death count on Tuesday.
The newly counted deaths are presumed to be caused by COVID-19 because doctors were confident enough to list the disease or “an equivalent” on the patients’ death certificates despite the diagnosis not being confirmed by laboratory tests.
Officials added 3,778 “probable” deaths to the COVID-19 count (pdf), taking a number that would have been 6,589 to over 10,000.
The shift came after fire officials said there were hundreds of people dying at home every day in recent weeks."
