Alright, I guess I have to be the one that asks: who is "Fredo"? You continuously claim that he has, apparantly unilaterally, decided which deaths have resulted from COVID-19. Not only is this extremely unlikely & prejudicial, it has been repeatedly pointed out that "probable" C-19 deaths are being reported according to established guidelines. As in here, for one example:

NY is not manipulating the data, they are conforming to what should be a national standard as articulated by the CDC.
No agency is faking death records in NY.
Here are the applicable lines, read the whole document to increase your understanding
"In cases where a definite diagnosis of COVID–19 cannot be made, but it is suspected or likely (e.g., the circumstances are compelling within a reasonable degree of certainty), it is acceptable to report COVID–19 on a death certificate as “probable” or “presumed.” In these instances, certifiers should use their best clinical judgement in determining if a COVID–19 infection was likely" |
Instead, you only accept as supposed evidence, stories told to you by a few NY'ers...
