How accurate is my fuzzy math /sci/.
Normal mortality rate for united states: 8.1 per 1000
New York population 8.623 million.
Normal deaths a year in New York City per 1000=~69,846.3
Normal Deaths per week raw: ~1342 very roughly
~
How is an extra ~225 deaths per day overwhelming their mortuaries? Keep in mind their is no reason they would be working at capacity in normal times
