Since the onset of the coronavirus pandemic, about 300,000 more Americans have died in a general year, according to a new review by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention suggesting the actual number of Covid-19 deaths in the U. S. , which is already the highest. in the world, may be even higher than the official count.
The number of deaths in the United States for all reasons between late January and early October is 299028 higher than the average number of deaths during this era over the more than five years, only 66% of this year’s “additional deaths” have been officially attributed to Covid-19Array
The country has noticed higher-than-usual death numbers each week since March, and excess deaths peaked at more than 20,000 in line with the week of early April, when the coronavirus pandemic devastated the northeast.
All of these additional deaths were necessarily related to coronavirus, the CDC said, but some may only be covid-19 deaths that were well identified or deaths caused by excessive pressures the virus has exerted on the physical care system.
Public fitness experts have warned for months that the true number of Covid-19 deaths is unlikely to be counted in real time. Some patients are not diagnosed with the virus before they die and others have died from other preventable diseases because they have moved as a result, researchers largely monitored the highest number of deaths in the country to assess the number of pandemic victims. Some other studies have shown that higher mortality in the United States began to accumulate in the spring, peaked in April and has fluctuated ever since. Cdc’s knowledge is the only study that includes October data and the latest indicator of the incredibly large scale of the coronavirus crisis.
“The number of other people dying from this pandemic is higher than we think,” Steven Woolf, a public fitness expert at the University of Virginia Commonwealth, told The Washington Post on Tuesday.
Black and Hispanic populations have been particularly affected by the increase in deaths. The number of Hispanics who died this year was 53. 6% higher than in a typical year, and 32. 9% more blacks died, compared to only 11. 9% more whites. in line with other studies that seem to indicate that the epidemic has had a disproportionate effect on other people of color.
Although young people who hire Covid-19 are less likely to die than their older peers, the over mortality rate among adults over the age of 25 to 44 has increased to 26. 5% this year, the largest accumulation of all age groups. simply because of the increase in the number of cases among young Americans in recent months.
