In 2017 (the last year I can find data) NYC had 155,000 deaths. On average, that works out to be 424 per day. Over a 31 day period of a month that makes 13,144 deaths in a 'normal' month in 2017. Since the start of this in mid-March there have been 12,509 deaths in NYC from Chinese Virus. There are LESS people dying now than in the 'normal' 2017 by about 50%.
