That's why fewer people die of coronavirus

Although the rate decreases, the number of infections is on the recovery.


During the spring, when the Pandemic of Covid-19 was delighted in the Northeast, thousands of people were dying every day across the country. However, while the virus is still raging - with the United States, even having a record height of infections, by the average of seven days, one thing has become clear: not as many people infected with the virus are dying. Read it to see why and to ensure your health and health of others, do not miss theseWithout signs that you have already had coronavirus.

Why fewer people die of coronavirus?

On a New York TimesReport, survival rate - even for those with serious infections, has improved. For example, a New York hospital system had a 30% mortality rate in March. In June he had fallen to three percent. Another hospital in England has experienced a 40% mortality rate at the end of March, falls to 20% by the end of June.

Although the virus itself has changed slowly, scientists do not believe that it has become "less virulent or more virulent". They also emphasize that the elderly are more cautious and that patients now hospitalized tend to be younger and healthier adults. For example, at the end of August, the average Covid-19 patient was under 40 years old.

As for why the mortality rate seems to have dropped, researchers from Nyu Langone Health have recently conducted a study. They analyzed the results of 5,000 hospitalized patients from March to August, finding that the improved survival rate had more to do with just a younger patient pool.

Although a combination of factors attributing to the lower death rate - which has dropped to 7.6% in August, 25.6% in March - one of the main one was that Covid-19 was initially a misunderstood virus and with the Time, health workers have begun to understand and were better able to handle and treat it. Community awareness is probably another factor because people are looking for a treatment earlier than later. Finally, hospitals are not as overwhelmed they were once, so they are better equipped to treat people.

"We do not have a magic bullet healing, but we have a lot, many small things, who are added," Dr. Leora Horwitz, Nyu Langone Health Health Health Center, told theNew York Times. "We understand better when people have to be on fans and when they do not, and what complications to watch, like blood clots and renal failure."

Although the mortality rate has decreased, the number of infections increases and hospitalizations increased by more than 40% over the last month. Health experts fear that this could have a negative impact on mortality rates.

So, the concern is that if you speak to people. 'Have what are in these parts of the country, they fear that if the trajectory continues, they can be in a position where they will be attached for things like intensive care beds. "

"The data is strong. It is also manifested by the fact that if you look at the country of the country where you have an increase in cases, we also have high in hospitalizations. The cases are real. They are not too a test result. "

As always, Fauci recalls that our best protection is to stick to the fundamentals - wearing your facial mask ", Distanession of a six-feet person or more by avoiding crowds in gathering environments, do things outside, much more than inside and wash your hands frequently - if you look through the country that has not been done uniformly, "he said.
