“Dead on Arrival: The Signals We’re Ignoring… Again
In NYC, when someone dies at home, a green flier appears on the door—a quiet but grim signal of loss. The medical term? Dead on arrival.

Meanwhile:
➡️ NYC hospitals are now subtyping for H5N1.
➡️ The city is experiencing its worst flu season since 1997.
➡️ Influenza-Like Illness (ILI) outpatient visits last week hit 13.6%—the second highest ever recorded in NYC’s 2010-2025 dataset.
➡️ The only time it was worse? First week of April 2020 (14.2%).
We’ve seen these warning signs before.
Are we paying attention this time?”
