Refute. (Not with the silly 10X bullshit. I’d prefer to have a sane conversation.)

You answer me first, Sparky.
And 10x is the high end, from one particular Gothamist/WNYC story, so try
this, which says it has been 4x the number of normal deaths in New York City.
If people die because they had heart attacks and didn't want to go to the hospital for fear of catching Covid-19, they are still dead. If they had an underlying illness, they are still dead. If they are older, they are still dead.
