You're off by an order of magnitude, bud, and even that number has a lot of uncertainty associated with it.

New York City has 8.4 million people, and about 23,000 deaths counted right now. That's a little over 0.25%, over 6x your claimed 0.04% rate. If you're going to accuse others of pushing unhinged conspiracy theories, then at least use some semi-plausible numbers that can stand up to some basic scrutiny.

And how many of those numbers are inflated with co-morbidity? How many of them are old or already immuno-compromised?

And how many Normal Seasonal Flu Cases are there in New York right now?

Hint: They're calling seasonal flu, Covid. From New York health department:

Seasonal influenza cases have been steadily declining during the Covid crisis. Also, we have discontinued doing any tracking of influenza while Covid is going around. So we can't tell you how many seasonal flu infections there are.

How convenient.
