Other deaths spiked along with Covid-19


A "prone team," wearing personal protective equipment (PPE), turns a COVID-19 patient onto his stomach in a Stamford Hospital intensive care unit (ICU), on April 24, 2020 in Stamford, Connecticut. The civilian/military team, made up of physical and occupational therapists turns over COVID-19 patients to help their labored breathing and increase lung capacity. Stamford Hospital, like many across the US, opened additional ICUs and have been augmented by military medical personnel to deal with the heavy patient load. Stamford, with it's close proximity to New York City, has the highest number of coronavirus patients in Connecticut.

There has been a notable increase in all deaths in the US. Some were attributed to pneumonia and flu, but they may have been caused by coronavirus.
