Cholera epidemic strikes New York City

Legacy data claims 5,000 deaths in New York City in 1848, but no supplied passage supports this specific statistic or date.

The legacy row indicates a death toll of 5,000 in New York City on January 1, 1848. The supplied passages discuss the third pandemic's reach to North America but do not provide specific death tolls or dates for New York City. Consequently, the claim remains unverified by the provided evidence.
