COVID-19: The Democrat’s Mess in New York City Has Seriously Skewed the National Numbers

NYC cases Corona

We’ve shared the video of Democrats saying just act like normal, nothing to see here. A few weeks later and the Big Apple is rotten with reported cases of Chinese Flu. The numbers are so high they are skewing the National data, just as predicted.

On March 30th I wrote,

The total number of infections and deaths from this virus (once the dust clears) will be significantly higher because of what happened in New York City. …

When the media and Democrats bring those total numbers to bear you need to be prepared to challenge them.

Big City Democrat politicians, Mayor Bill de Blasio, and even the NYC Health Commissioner, Oxiris Barbot, were dismissive of the threat and encouraged people to go out and behave as if everything was normal.

Matt Margolis at PJ Media ran the numbers and it’s bad. Unbelievably bad. The Greater New York City area by itself is number one in the world for deaths per million residents. 

Kings, Queens, New York, Suffolk, Bronx, Nassau, Westchester and Richmond Counties. These counties have a population of 12,205,796, according to World Population Review’s numbers for 2020—bigger than many countries.

As of April 15th when the piece was written, confirmed cases in that region alone far exceed any nation on earth with 16,230.65/million. In deaths per capita, NYC by itself also far exceeds any other nation on earth.

  1. Downstate New York (848.45)
  2. Belgium (470.51)
  3. Spain (428.68)
  4. Italy (376.19)
  5. France (286.53)
  6. United Kingdom (228.28)
  7. Netherlands (210.86)
  8. Switzerland (155.29)
  9. Sweden (149.61)
  10. Ireland (107.34)

According to Margolis with this Greater Metropolitan area removed from the United States numbers, the US is #13 for confirmed cases and #11 globally for deaths per million people. All tragedies, as they are every flu season. But what did I say on March 30th?

When the media and Democrats bring those total numbers to bear you need to be prepared to challenge them.

The Donald loves the City, and he’ll do anything he can to help them, but the media will lay all of those infections and deaths at his feet based on local decisions over which the President had no control. Decisions that may have been made by Democrats in power for no other reason than their knee-jerk obsession with contradicting Donald Trump.
