Hospital admissions for coronavirus in Europe remain only a fraction of what they were in March and April, despite warnings from officials that a wave is currently taking place on the continent.
Countries such as France, Spain and Belgium, which once again saw an increase in the number of patients admitted to the hospital, have fewer incomes than at the height of the pandemic.
British fitness officials, who added Health Secretary Matt Hancock, warned of a “second wave crossing Europe” and told the British to act now to avoid a resurgence here.
However, knowledge shows that hospital admissions are expanding across Europe, remain low, despite thousands of reported cases every day.
In France, for example, the weekly hospitalization rate is now 2 consistent with 100,000, compared to more than 35 at the peak of the epidemic in March, despite the record number of infections in the country in recent weeks.
And in Spain, where income rate 1 was consistent with 100,000 in June, hospitalizations reached four consisting of 100,000 at the end of August, still far from 50 consistent with 100,000 admitted in early April.
Hancock said today that hospitalizations in Spain have been “higher up to 15 times since mid-July. “But knowledge from the European Centre for Disease Prevention and Control shows that income has quadrupled in this period.
Professor Paul Hunter, epidemiologist at the University of East Anglia, told MailOnline that no one in the clinical network expects hospital admissions and mortality rates to stand firm for more than two weeks.
But the kind of other people who end up in the hospital is to judge the severity of the epidemic: other young people are much less likely to die than the elderly.
Professor Hunter said: “Most people expect that in two, three, four weeks we will see a transparent accumulation of hospitalizations and deaths. “
Professor Keith Neal, an infectious disease expert at the University of Nottingham, added that the increase in cases in Spain “has not been reflected in hospitalizations”, so epidemics may not follow the same trajectory as the first time.
Scientists agreed that cases and therefore hospitalizations and deaths would accumulate when the blockade was lifted. The government’s job now is to keep them under control.
Although poor testing at the worst time in the epidemic meant that not all cases were detected, while most of them are now, experts also said many infections now involve other younger people who are less likely to be seriously ill.
Hospital admissions by coronavirus can begin to accumulate in the UK in 3 weeks, knowledge from other European countries is recommended. When Spain, France and Belgium reached 18 instances consisting of 100,000 (which the UK did on Sunday), admissions then accrued. Quad.
But European countries see only a fraction of the weekly admissions they had at the height of the pandemic, raising doubts as to whether this may constitute a ‘second wave’
At the end of March, thousands of others were admitted to French hospitals according to the day and weekly hospitalization rate 35 consisting of 100,000. two consistent with 100,000.
Spain had a hospitalization rate per Covid of 4, consisting of 100,000 at the end of August, to one consistent with 100,000 a month earlier. Although admissions were technically quadrupled, they were still miles from the point observed at the end of March, when 50 out of every 100,000 others were hospitalized according to the week.
In August, the hospitalization rate in Belgium doubled from one to two, which is even the tenth of the worst degrees observed in April (30 per 100,000)
Hospitalization rates remain low and declining in the UK, from a peak of more than 30 consistent with another 100,000 people to less than one consistent with 100,000, but officials are concerned that it will soon increase
The per capita instances in Britain are now above 20 consisting of 100,000 inhabitants, a point where UK officials plan to put foreign countries on a quarantine list because they are believed to have lost the virus.
It occurs after approximately 3,000 other people tested positive for two consecutive days on Sunday and Monday and marks an increase of nearly three times since 12. 8 last week, consistent with 100,000.
However, admissions to the British hospital have remained stable, and only one in 100,000 people most recently required medical attention from a Covid-19 infection.
It accounts for a fraction of the approximately 32 out of every 100,000 people who were hospitalized with the virus at the height of the crisis in the UK in mid-April.
Lately there are around 800 patients in hospitals in the UK Covid-19, up from 20,000 six months ago.
Data from Spain, Belgium and France show that when case rates were at a point similar to that of the United Kingdom, admissions were higher over the next 3 weeks.
