That title gives the wrong impression. I'm pretty sure what they meant to say was:

"New York City alone made up 387 of the state's 788 new deaths. "

And this is what everyone is completely forgetting about in the rush to make Covid 19 the biggest killer in the US.

At least 14,000 people have died and 250,000 have already been hospitalized during the 2019-2020 flu season, according to estimates from the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. More than 26 million Americans have fallen ill with flu-like symptoms.

"There is a deadly respiratory virus that is circulating throughout the United States, and it is at its peak. It is not novel coronavirus," said Dr. Pritish Tosh, an infectious disease specialist with the Mayo Clinic, in Rochester, Minn.

This flu season has come in two waves and has been particularly hard on children, the experts said.

It does make a person wonder how many of these Covid 19 deaths especially in communities without the proper resources to analyze the cause of death were actually caused by the flu?
