Coronavirus deaths in Brooklyn outnumber totals in every state except New Jersey, Massachusetts, Michigan and New York as a whole.
Kings county, which constitutes New York City's Brooklyn borough, has become the U.S. county with the most deaths due to COVID-19, exceeding death tolls in 46 entire states.
Confirmed cases in Brooklyn total over 50,000, the second highest county total in the state, behind the more than 57,000 confirmed cases in Queens. Cases in each of the two New York City boroughs surpass the totals of 44 states. New York City has the most confirmed cases and deaths from COVID-19 of any city in the world, but an analysis released Monday by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention indicates that the true number may be. The report suggests that almost 5,300 additional deaths may have been due to COVID-19, out of more than 24,000 unexplained deaths that occurred in the city between March 11 and May 2.
