In December 2019, the first cases of coronavirus infection were detected in the Chinese province of Hubei, the city of Wuhan. Chinese scientists have identified the pathogen - 2019 ncov. The genetic sequence of the virus is similar to severe acute respiratory syndrome. Mortality from coronavirus is quite high, which is explained by a new and insufficiently studied virus genotype.
How many people have died in the world today
Coronavirus is a new disease for which medicines and vaccines have not yet been developed. Mortality statistics in the world indicate that 4013 deaths were recorded in mid-March. In total, 113,739 people were infected with the virus, 63,663 of them managed to recover.
The disease was recorded in all age groups. Among the sick, 71 percent are men. More than 80 percent of coronavirus deaths are people over 60 years old. It was found that people who died as a result of the disease had other diseases - asthma, diabetes, pathologies of the cardiovascular system, etc.
The percentage of deaths from a new coronavirus in the world
Mortality is a statistical indicator that determines the percentage of the number of people who died from the coronavirus to the population. This indicator is necessary to assess the effectiveness of the health care system. The lethality of a new coronavirus is an indicator that determines the percentage of the number of sick and dead people. In the case of coronavirus, it is 3 percent.
It is impossible to accurately calculate mortality and mortality in percentage terms, since all mild cases are not detected in most countries. Doctors believe that in most countries the incidence rates in primary sources are underestimated.
There are currently no drugs or vaccines available. Medicines are being developed in medical laboratories in many countries. According to experts' forecasts, this procedure will take 18 methods. It is impossible to predict the number of infections and deaths.
Which countries have higher death rates than others and why?
The mortality rate from coronavirus in China is the highest. This is due to the fact that the epidemic broke out in this country. Coronavirus is a new disease, so people have not yet developed immunity to it. As of March 10, China has recorded 80,754 infections and 3,160 deaths. 59,885 people managed to recover. China is seeing a sharp decline in coronavirus infections. But a second wave of the epidemic is not excluded.
Today in Italy, mortality from coronavirus ranks first. The country has recorded 9,172 infections and 463 deaths. 724 people have recovered from coronavirus. The Czech government has asked the leadership of Italy to ban the entry of citizens of the country into European countries due to the development of the coronavirus.
The place of spread of infection in Italy is the northern industrial regions. The country's government is using various methods to combat the spread of the virus. Universities, schools, cinemas are closed throughout the country. A decision was made to cancel mass events. The government has quarantined cities that are experiencing an outbreak of the epidemic. Their total population is 55 thousand people. Hospitals in Lombardy are strictly checked by the prosecutor's office.
In South Korea, 7,478 patients and 463 deaths have been registered. This is the first country in which the coronavirus began to spread after China. This is due to the lack of appropriate measures to combat the spread of the virus. More than 1.3 million people signed a petition for the resignation of President Moon Jae-in because of this. On February 18, 31 cases of infection were registered. The number of cases is growing rapidly as the situation gets out of control of the authorities.
