How many people actually died from the new coronavirus

In 3 months, the coronavirus has spread to more than 140 countries. This infection weakens the body and provokes the development of serious diseases (for example, pneumonia). Read on, how many infected people were registered in the world and died from coronavirus in 2020.

How many people got coronavirus

At the moment, the number of people infected from the new pneumonia has approached 180 thousand people. The largest number of infected is still registered in China, but Italy is rapidly catching up with the epicenter of the coronavirus in this indicator.

The number of infected in Russia

Russia has a huge border with China, yet the country has only 99 cases of infection. Perhaps the authorities deliberately keep silent about real indicators so as not to sow panic, or hospitals do not have the appropriate equipment to detect infection. In any case, only 99 infections have been officially confirmed, and the real number is higher.

Number of infected by country

It is noteworthy that the number of infected people in China has practically not increased for 2-3 weeks. Every day, no more than 20-30 new cases are registered in the country. Also, the development of the epidemic was prevented in South Korea and Japan, although a month ago these countries were the leaders in the number of infected in the world (yielding to China). Whereas in Europe it has not yet been possible to localize the spread of the epidemic.

Also, the United States is gradually breaking out into the lists of leaders in terms of the number of infected people in the world; in a few days, the number of 2019-nCoV infected in the country has doubled.

Important! In Italy and Spain, from 1 to 3 thousand cases of coronavirus are detected daily.

How many people have recovered from coronavirus

The number of people who have recovered from coronavirus has approached 80 thousand people. In Asia, the epidemic is on the decline, while in Europe it is flaring up.

The number of recovered in Russia

Now in Russia about 100 cases of infection have been officially recorded. Of these, 4 people successfully completed treatment and were discharged from hospitals. However, official data may differ from real ones, given the difficulties in controlling the spread of the epidemic. Among those infected in Russia there are also patients with complications, so the likelihood of news of deaths is quite real even with such a small number of infected people.

Number of recoveries by country

The number of recovered infected depends on many indicators. First, from the total number of infected citizens. And secondly, on the level of medicine and preventive measures taken by the authorities. In China, out of the total number of infected, 68 thousand people have recovered. In second place is Iran, where 2,500 people have been discharged from hospitals. But in Italy, the total number of infected and fully recovered is the same - 2,000 people.

In Germany, a country with a high level of medicine, 100 people have already been released from quarantine (this is a good indicator with a minimum mortality rate).

Such a low number of recovered people in Europe compared to those in China is due to the fact that a person needs 2 weeks to recover. Therefore, in the coming days, the growth of patients discharged from hospitals outside the PRC will increase.

Important! China is no longer the center of the epidemic, because. 84% of those infected were treated.

Coronavirus death rate

Coronavirus can occur both in mild and severe form (with the development of a number of diseases). Therefore, some people can recover in 2 weeks, while other infected people can wait for hospital treatment or even death. Often, elderly people or those who have chronic diseases die from Chinese infection. Whereas a person with strong immunity is more likely to successfully complete the treatment.

Percentage of mortality in Russia

Surprisingly, there is no single death from coronavirus in Russia. This is due to the low number of infected (according to official data). In mid-March, the media reported that a 75-year-old Italian citizen had died in Moscow from the coronavirus. However, later representatives of the medical organization reassured the citizens, confirming that the pensioner died not from an infection in China, but from pancreatic cancer.

Since not a single death from the coronavirus disease has yet been officially registered in Russia, it is difficult to estimate the mortality rate. It is possible that people in the Russian Federation have already died from this virus, but doctors did not note infection or indicated a different cause of death.

Percentage of deaths by country

In general, the percentage of deaths from coronavirus in different countries is different. This is due, first of all, to the level of medicine. Some of the lower mortality rates are in Germany, South Korea and northern countries including Denmark, Norway and Canada. In these states, less than 1% of those infected die from coronavirus. While Italy has the highest rate in the world - 8%. For comparison, in terms of the number of deaths, Italy is second only to China (2200 people versus 3200), in which the number of infected is 2.5 times higher.

Experts note that this figure is due to the fact that in Italy coronaviruses that occur in humans in a mild form are rarely detected. Whereas in the same Germany medicine and monitoring of the state of the population are better developed, therefore, the mortality rates here are lower than in the southern country.

Attention! To date, 3.4% of those infected have died from coronavirus, if we take global statistics. In countries with poor healthcare, this indicator is worse.

How the number of infected and dead has grown over the entire period of the epidemic

The epicenter of the spread of the coronavirus is the city of Wuhan, Hubei province in China. Here the virus began to spread rapidly. From here, the infection spread to nearby countries: Japan, South Korea, Thailand, Malaysia and a number of other states.

By the beginning of February, the number of deaths from the Chinese virus was in the dozens, and the infection itself had leaked to dozens of countries, including the states of Europe.

Important! On February 1, the number of cases was 10,000.

After that, the total number of infected people in countries such as China and Japan increased sharply, but the authorities of these countries managed to localize the spread of infection.

Toward the end of February, the Chinese virus swept the European Union, and especially Italy and nearby countries. Now Europe is the center of the spread of coronavirus. The infection has also spread to all other continents.

Attention! The largest number of infected in the Americas was registered in the United States - 4200 people.

Conclusion

The death toll from coronavirus has already approached 7,000 people, and in a week this figure could increase dramatically, because. more than 500 infected people die from the virus every day. In Italy alone, the number of coronavirus victims is increasing daily by 300 people or more. Most EU countries have switched to quarantine mode, so in the near future the growth of the epidemic will decrease if people follow the WHO recommendations.
