Ministry of Health: More than 80 thousand Russians are infected with coronavirus, 20 thousand are in hospitals

According to the data for 5 months of 2024 of the Ministry of Health of Russia, the total number of people infected with coronavirus in the country exceeded 80 thousand people, of which more than 20 thousand patients are being treated in hospitals. This was announced on June 9, 2024 by the head of the department Mikhail Murashko.

The Minister of Health noted that the situation with the coronavirus in Russia is under constant control. The medical system is ready to promptly respond to new challenges and changing conditions of the epidemiological situation, including the emergence of new strains of the virus.

The total number of people infected with coronavirus in the country exceeded 80 thousand people

According to the operational headquarters for combating COVID-19, from May 22 to June 2, 2024, 12,339 new cases of coronavirus infection were detected in Russia. During this period, 1,908 people were hospitalized, which is 9.2% more than the previous week. At the same time, 14,365 people recovered during this period.

According to Murashko, in mid-May 2024, scientists predicted a possible increase in the incidence of COVID-19 in the summer of 2024 due to the emergence of new strains of the virus. One of these strains is FLiRT, which is a mutation of the omicron strain and was recorded in Russia in 178 cases. According to Rospotrebnadzor, new variants of the virus do not pose a greater danger compared to previous ones.

Murashko stressed that the effective work of the health care system and compliance with prevention measures made it possible to control the situation with the spread of infection. At the same time, monitoring of the effectiveness of vaccines and treatments continues to ensure the fastest adaptation to new conditions.

Despite the end of the pandemic, which the World Health Organization (WHO) announced on May 5, 2023, the coronavirus still poses a threat. WHO head Tedros Ghebreyesus stressed that the end of the pandemic does not mean that the virus is no longer dangerous.

The Russian Ministry of Health continues to work to control the epidemiological situation in the country. Prevention and control measures are aimed at preventing the further spread of infection and minimizing the consequences for public health, the minister said.[1]

Reduction in incidence in Russia by 83%

In 2023 Russia , there was a significant decrease in the incidence of coronavirus () COVID-19 infection by 83% compared to 2022. According to Rospotrebnadzor June 1, 2024, more than 2 million cases of COVID-19 were registered in the country in 2023. These data are presented in the report "On the state of sanitary and epidemiological well-being of the population in the Russian Federation in 2023."

According to the report, in 2023, 2,072,203 cases of COVID-19 were detected in Russia, which is significantly lower compared to 2022, when 12.102 million cases were recorded. The incidence rate per 100 thousand population amounted to 1,412,41 cases, which confirms a decrease in 82.9%.

The document also notes that the incidence among children under 17 has decreased sevenfold compared to 2022. During 2023, there were two rises in morbidity. "In 2023, the Omikron genovariant prevailed in almost 100% of cases on the territory of the Russian Federation," the report says.

In addition, the largest number of infected people was registered in St. Petersburg (3,618,8 cases per 100 thousand population), Penza region (3,080,18), Samara region (3,051,91), Moscow (2,873,76) and Udmurt Republic (2,831,21).

According to Rospotrebnadzor, in the age structure of morbidity in 2023, the maximum proportion fell on age groups from 30 to 49 years old (27%), from 50 to 64 years old (23%) and over 65 years old (25%). The proportion of children aged 0 to 17 years was 12%. Among all cases, mild and moderate forms of the course of the disease prevailed - 71.5% and 27.6%, respectively, the severe form of the disease was registered in 0.9% of patients.

The document noted that the decrease in the incidence of COVID-19 in 2023 was an important step in the fight against the pandemic. Thanks to effective control, prevention and mass vaccination measures, it was possible to significantly reduce the number of cases and reduce the burden on the health care system.^[2]

More than 20 million people have died since the start of the pandemic

In May 2023, WHO canceled the pandemic status for COVID-19.

At least 20 million people have died from coronavirus since the beginning of the pandemic, according to the organization.

WHO: In 2020-2021, 12.9 million people died due to the COVID-19 pandemic

In 2020-2021, coronavirus infection COVID-19 has become one of the leading causes of death. Due to this disease, approximately 12.9 million people died on a global scale, as stated in a report by the World Health Organization (WHO), released on May 24, 2024.

The document says that in 2020, the COVID-19 pandemic led to the death of 4.1 million people, in 2021 - 8.8 million. Coronavirus infection quickly became one of the leading causes of death, taking third place among the most common factors in 2020 and second place in 2021. Before the pandemic, the main causes of death were non-communicable diseases such as coronary heart disease and stroke, cancer, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, Alzheimer's disease and other types of dementia, and diabetes.

COVID-19 has become one of the leading causes of death in 2020-2021

The report also states that in two years, the COVID-19 pandemic has nullified almost a decade of progress in increasing life expectancy. In the period 2019-2021, the global life expectancy decreased by 1.8 years and amounted to 71.4 years, returning to the level of 2012. At the same time, healthy life expectancy in 2021 decreased by 1.5 years - to 61.9 years.

Geographically, the consequences of the disease appear unevenly. North and South America and Southeast Asia were the hardest hit, with life expectancy falling by about three years between 2019 and 2021 and healthy life expectancy by 2.5 years. The Western Pacific region was the least affected - with a life expectancy rate of less than 0.1 years and a healthy life expectancy rate of less than 0.2 years.^[3]

The Lancet: Coronavirus vaccination prevented 20 million deaths

On June 23, 2022, the scientific and medical journal The Lancet published the results of a study according to which vaccines against COVID-19 reduced the potential number of deaths in the world by more than half in 2021 relative to 2020.

The study modeled the spread of the disease in 185 countries and showed that without vaccines against COVID-19, about 31.4 million people would have died from the disease between December 2020 and 2021. Although the pandemic has caused significant damage around the world: since the introduction of the first vaccine in December 2020, more than 3.5 million people have died, according to the study, vaccination has prevented 19.8 million deaths.

The team found that one in five COVID-19 deaths in underdeveloped countries could have been prevented if the World Health Organization's global vaccination goals had been met.

The researchers modeled transmission of the virus based on available knowledge of the disease and vaccines, applying three situations: one - when vaccines did not exist, another - when vaccines were distributed but did not reduce transmission of the virus, and a third - a scenario that actually came to fruition when, in some parts of the world, effective vaccines were distributed in record time.

They then took the number of suspected COVID-19 deaths in the first situation - if there were no vaccines - and deducted the number of COVID-19 deaths observed in the third situation to determine how many deaths were prevented.

This approach proceeds from the assumption that the transmission of COVID-19 occurs equally in all countries, which is not always true, said Emily Kum Besson, a researcher at the London School, who is not related to the study. However, the study allows you to take a fresh look at how many lives could be saved by vaccination against COVID-19.^[4]

The number of deaths from COVID-19 exceeded deaths from tuberculosis, HIV and malaria combined

Rosstat: 625,000 deaths from the virus in Russia since the beginning of the pandemic

November 2021 was the deadliest month of the Covid-19 pandemic in Russia, deepening the demographic crisis, which, according to President Vladimir Putin, poses a threat to the country's future.

There were 87,527 virus-related deaths in November, according to data released by the Federal Statistics Service. This is 16% more than in the previous month, the total number of deaths associated with coronavirus in Russia exceeded 625,000 since the beginning of the pandemic.

"Life expectancy in Russia has decreased by a decade," says Vera Karpova, a demographer at Moscow State University, she believes that Covid has reduced its average life expectancy by more than three years, to 70 years. According to her, the last time life expectancy below 70 years was observed in Russia in 2012.

In Russia, maternal mortality from COVID-19 increased by 3 times

In 2021, the mortality rate of pregnant women and women who gave birth from coronavirus COVID-19 tripled compared to 2020. This data was published in early December 2021 by the chief freelance specialist Ministry of Health Russia in obstetrics, Professor Roman Shmakov.

According to the director of the National Medical Research Center of Obstetrics, Gynecology and Perinatology named after Academician V.I. Gennadiya Sukhikh Kulakov, 103 pregnant women died due to coronavirus infection in 2020. Between January and June 2021, 46 deaths were recorded.

According to Shmakov, all those who died were not vaccinated. The specialist stressed that vaccines do not cause the risk of obstetric or perinatal complications. But the disease itself can lead to a complicated course of pregnancy, delay in the development of the fetus, miscarriages or premature birth, Shmakov added.

He stressed that the antibodies of the mother who was vaccinated are able to protect the child. Thus, newborns are protected from the virus both during childbirth and during breastfeeding.

Earlier in 2021, the World Health Organization updated recommendations for vaccination against coronavirus for breastfeeding mothers. They were advised not to give up feeding due to vaccination, as immunity can be transferred to the baby along with breast milk.

The Ministry of Health of the Russian Federation lifted restrictions on Sputnik V vaccination of pregnant women with a high risk of severe COVID-19 at the end of June 2021. The data of participants in the main clinical trials of the drug who became pregnant during the study, including in the post-marketing period, as well as preclinical studies of the safety of the vaccine, were taken as a basis.

As of October 2021, 760 thousand pregnant women were under the supervision of doctors, while only 1.3% were vaccinated against the coronavirus COVID-19^[5]

Much less die in countries with high rates of COVID-19 vaccination

Vaccinated people are less likely to die from COVID-19. The European Commission has published curious statistics on deaths from coronavirus in two weeks in November 2021.

In particular, the statistics of the fully vaccinated part of the population in various countries are given. The second graph indicates the figure of deaths from COVID-19 per 1 million population in the same countries.

Regions of Russia revealed the shares of those admitted to hospitals with COVID-19 after vaccinations

On November 10, 2021, the shares of those admitted to hospitals COVID-19 after vaccinations against this coronavirus in became known. Russia The data were published by the publication RBC after a survey of government officials and. health care

The largest percentage of vaccinated hospitalized with COVID-19 was in the Moscow region - 18%. Among 10,335 in hospitals in the Moscow region, 82% were not vaccinated. The list of leading regions is as follows:

• 12% - in the Belgorod region;

In Volgograd, Irkutsk, Kaliningrad, Lipetsk regions, Karachay-Cherkessia, Komi, Mordovia and Sevastopol, the publication was informed that the share of vaccinated among those who ended up in hospitals does not exceed 1%.

The survey showed that the share of those vaccinated among those who died from coronavirus in regional hospitals was less than 1%. In the Altai Territory, the share of deaths among all vaccinated was 0.01%, in the Belgorod Region - 0.4%, in Bryansk - 0.49%, in Tverskaya - 0.04%, in Stavropol - 0.007%.

In the Tula region, the proportion of deaths among those vaccinated is 0.006%. 97% among the dead people over 60 years old, with severe concomitant diseases, two-thirds of them late sought medical help, the press service of the Ministry of Health of the region noted. In most cases, the disease in vaccinated patients was mild, and with concomitant diseases - moderate, concluded in the department.

The Ministry of Health of the Saratov region did not disclose the proportion of deaths among vaccinated, but noted that such deaths were "tens to hundreds of times less than those who were not vaccinated."

Some regions did not provide the publication with information about the proportion of vaccinated among hospitalized with COVID-19. So, there is no data on Moscow.^[6]

Ministry of Health of the Russian Federation: Mortality from COVID-19 in Russia - 4%, among patients on mechanical ventilation - 95%

On November 10, 2021, the chief freelance pulmonologist of the Ministry of Health of the Russian Federation, Sergei Avdeev, presented data according to which the total mortality from the coronavirus COVID-19 among patients with detected infection in the country is 1.5-4%, in hospitals - 7-15%.

According to Avdeev, among those infected with coronavirus who end up in intensive care, 40% to 60% of patients die, and mortality among those connected to artificial ventilation devices varies from 70-95%.

The pulmonologist, speaking at a meeting of the Federation Council, stressed that we are talking about averaged data that "represent the overall picture in terms of the severity of COVID-19."

On November 10, 2021, for the second day in a row, the maximum death toll from the COVID-19 coronavirus has been recorded since the beginning of the epidemic. During this day, another 1239 patients failed to cope with the disease. A day earlier, 1211 people died from COVID-19.

In just a day by November 10, 2021, the disease was confirmed in just over 38 thousand patients. A day earlier, the coronavirus was detected in 39.1 thousand cases.

By November 10, 2021, Russia is at the peak of the incidence of COVID-19, mortality rates are alarming, said Melita Vujnovich, representative of the World Health Organization in Russia.

She noted that the country has a high mortality rate from the consequences of COVID-19. According to her, these data are received two weeks after the recorded cases of infections, so in the near future the statistics may worsen.

This load will still be seen, these are very serious statistics, we are concerned about this, - explained Vujnovic.

The chief freelance infectious disease specialist of the Ministry of Health of Russia Vladimir Chulanov stressed that the increase in morbidity and mortality from coronavirus is mainly due to the fact that the number of vaccinated is not enough to significantly affect the epidemic process. Also, according to him, mutations of the virus affect the increase in the number of cases.^[7]

Russia in first place in the number of deaths from COVID-19

11 thousand Britons infected with COVID-19 in hospitals and died

According to Great Britain the National Health Service NHS , by November 8, 2021 COVID-19 , 11,688 patients who were hospitalized in these institutions with other diseases had died from coronavirus in British hospitals. In total, since the beginning of the pandemic, more than 40 thousand Britons have been infected with this virus while in hospitals for treatment. More. here

British health authority explained the increase in deaths from coronavirus among vaccinated

In November 2021, it became known about the growing mortality from coronavirus COVID-19 Britain among people who have been vaccinated. health care Susan Hopkins, a doctor and chief medical adviser to the British Security Agency, told reporters why this is happening.

According to him, people who have not been vaccinated mainly die from coronavirus infection, but citizens who have been vaccinated may die due to a gradual weakening of the immune response received during vaccination.

Susan Hopkins drew attention to the fact that the majority of deaths after vaccination occur among the elderly, as well as among those who are at risk for medical reasons.

In September 2021, the National Statistical Service Great Britain reported that 640 fully vaccinated people died from coronavirus in England, or 1.2% of all deaths with COVID-19.

According to the published statistics, 182 Englishmen died from COVID-19 within 21 days after the second injection, another 458 people - after 21 days from the moment of vaccination.

In addition, more than 4.38 thousand residents of England died from coronavirus within 21 days after receiving the first dose of the vaccine, more than 7.2 thousand more - 21 days or more after the first injection, statistics showed.

In November 2021, Theexpose.uk, citing data from the UK Health Agency, published statistics on deaths in Scotland. Between September 18 and October 15, 457 people who were fully vaccinated and 17 people who received only one dose of the vaccine died in the country. In total, this is 85% of all deaths from COVID-19 during these weeks.

The UK is on track for disaster with a vaccination program that has clearly failed, the publication says.[8]

Financial Times: Russia ranked second in excess mortality after the United States

In early November 2021, the Financial Times (FT) published an analytical article in which it reported that excess mortality in Russia from COVID-19 since the beginning of the 2021 coronavirus pandemic (from February 2020) amounted to 753,000 cases. This is the second indicator in the world - more deaths were registered only in the United States (748,630), according to data from Johns Hopkins University.

To get a figure of 753,000 excess deaths during a pandemic for Russia, according to FT observers, analysts used Rosstat's monthly all-cause mortality data to calculate the total number of deaths, registered in each month, since the 100th case was reported in the country [COVID-19], and then subtracted from that the number of deaths that were expected to occur if the pandemic did not occur.^[9]

According to FT experts , the sharp increase in excess deaths is associated with the failed campaign of the authorities to vaccinate Russians, as well as non-working quarantine measures.

The population behaves as if it has no idea or does not care anymore, and people began to die like flies. This is a disaster, "demographer Alexei Raksha, who worked at Rosstat but lost his position after criticizing the department for processing mortality data, told the FT.

Presidential spokesman Dmitry Peskov, commenting on the FT publication, said that when analyzing the situation with excess mortality in Russia, official data should be used.

It is not clear on the basis of what criteria the Financial Times considered, so I am not inclined to take this information as the original source. Still, the primary source is probably our Rosstat and those figures that were previously called Deputy Prime Minister Tatyana Golikova, - said Peskov.

More than 5 million people died from COVID-19 in the world

More than 5 million people worldwide have died from Covid-19 less than two years after this new pathogen was first documented, despite the advent of vaccines that have reduced deaths around the world.

The number of deaths from Covid in the world continues to grow, but at a slower pace, but scientists warn that the pandemic is far from over.

Ministry of Health of the Russian Federation: Probability of death with delta strain of coronavirus increased by 132%

The probability of death in the event of infection with the delta strain (Indian) coronavirus COVID-19 compared to its original (Wuhan) variety increased by 132%. This was announced at the end of October 2021 by the chief freelance infectious disease specialist of the Ministry of Health of the Russian Federation, Deputy Director for Scientific Work and Innovative Development of the Federal State Budgetary Institution "National Research Medical Center for Phthisiopulmonology and Infectious Diseases" Vladimir Chulanov.

According to him, the delta strain of coronavirus increases the risk of hospitalization by 108% compared to the original strain, the risk of admission to intensive care - by 234%.

The chief freelance infectious disease specialist of the Ministry of Health of the Russian Federation noted that the delta strain of coronavirus is more dangerous, as it has special properties: it spreads faster than other varieties of COVID-19 and is more pathogenic.

According to the expert, the more people are vaccinated against coronavirus, the lower the variety of circulating strains will be. This means that the risks of the appearance of a virus with even more unfavorable properties are reduced.

The main factor in the increase in the incidence of Chulanov called the low level of herd immunity - 45.7% with a target of 80%.

Only when vaccination coverage of at least 80% of the adult population is achieved can a significant effect of this factor on the epidemic process be expected. The only way to stop the spread of the virus is to create herd immunity, "Chulanov said.

In August 2021, the Assistant Minister health care Russia of Aleksei Kuznetsov said that the delta strain of the coronavirus COVID-19 quickly leads to serious complications in the patient, so the mortality rate among those infected with it may be higher. The representative of the Ministry of Health explained that a feature of this mutation is the faster development of the disease, including the rapid appearance of severe complications - extensive pneumonia, lesions, hearts kidneys and other organs.^[10]

Up to 180 thousand health workers died due to COVID-19 - WHO

According to the World Health Organization (WHO), which were released at the end of October 2021, from 80 thousand to 180 thousand doctors around the world have died from this infection since the beginning of the COVID-19 coronavirus pandemic. In total, about 135 million people are employed in the global health sector.

The WHO said that health workers are at risk because they are more likely than others to come into contact with those infected with the coronavirus, but the vaccination rate among them remains relatively low. According to the organization in 119 countries, by October 2021, only 40% of health workers were vaccinated on average, and in Africa and the countries of the West Pacific region this figure is only about 10%.

Meanwhile, in most high-income countries, more than 80% of health workers are fully vaccinated, said WHO head Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus. In high-income countries, according to the World Bank classification, 133 components of the vaccine were administered per 100 people, and the 29 lowest-income countries drop to five.

WHO has expressed concern about generally low vaccination rates among health care staff and inequalities in access to vaccines in low- and high-income countries. The organization called on countries to ensure priority vaccination for health workers.

According to statistics from official sources collected by AFP, the COVID-19 coronavirus by the end of October 2021 has caused the death of more than 4.9 million people since the outbreak in China in December 2019. At the same time, almost 242 million cases were registered. Former British Prime Minister Gordon Brown said that without redistributing the growing supply of vaccines, the WHO forecast was that there could be another 200 million cases of COVID-19 and 5 million deaths.^[11]

Mortality from COVID-19 in the United States turned out to be higher than from the "Spanish flu"

In September 2021, mortality from the coronavirus COVID-19 in the United States was higher than from the Spanish flu 100 years ago. This was noticed by the Associated Press.

About 675 thousand Americans died from the coronavirus, and about 650 thousand people died from the Spanish flu during the 1918-1919 pandemic.

However, the U.S. population during the Spanish flu outbreak was a third of the figure by September 2021. The number of victims of the Spanish flu around the world is estimated by various scientists in the range from 17 million to 100 million, the number of deaths from COVID-19 is 16.6 million.

CDC officials warned that the number of cases and hospitalized will continue to grow if most citizens are not vaccinated. According to them, the daily increase may in this case be several hundred thousand infected.

The fact that so many people have died, given the achievements of modern medicine, is worrying, "said cardiologist Eric Topol, head of the Scripps Institute for Translational Research, adding that in 1918 there were no ventilators or vaccines.

According to Johns Hopkins University, as of September 21, 678,421 deaths have already been registered in the United States since the beginning of the coronavirus pandemic. The agency also cites one of the mortality estimates from the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), according to which 830,443 deaths were reported in the United States during the pandemic. Mortality from coronavirus continues to grow amid the spread of the delta strain.

The CDC warned that the number of cases and hospitalized will continue to grow if most citizens are not vaccinated. According to experts, the daily increase may in this case be several hundred thousand infected.^[12]

The head of the Ministry of Health of the Russian Federation warned of the risk of death within 6 months after COVID-19

At the end of August 2021 Ministry of Health of the Russian federation Mikhail Murashko , the head warned of the risk of death within six months after the coronavirus. COVID-19

A person, especially an older person, suffered COVID over the next six months after suffering from covid, the risk of death sharply increases, the minister said on the air of the Russia 24 TV channel.

According to him, among other things, a person may have various complications associated with the formation of blood clots, damage to the nervous and cardiovascular system. Murashko stressed that it is precisely for patients who have already undergone COVID-19 that it is primarily important to undergo in-depth medical examination.

Expanded clinical examination in order to identify complications after the coronavirus and further treatment began in the regions of the Russian Federation from July 1, 2021.

Allergist-immunologist Vladimir Bolibok, commenting on Murashko's statement about the risk of death after COVID-19, noted that post-covid syndrome leads to an increased risk of thrombosis and sluggish inflammation of the nervous tissue. Disorders of the autonomic nervous system and psyche also develop - depending on which zone of the brain was damaged.

The specialist added that a person may experience sudden dizziness. In this case, the driver may not cope with the control of the car, and the elderly person may fall and receive a serious injury - up to death.

The Assistant Minister of health care Russia Aleksei Kuznetsov warned that the delta strain of coronavirus, which by the beginning of September 2021 accounts for the majority of COVID diseases in Russia, quickly leads to severe complications in those infected, so the mortality rate from it may be higher.

Mortality in COVID-19 disease caused by the delta strain may be higher than similar indicators in the previous period of the rise in morbidity, he admitted.[13]

USA, Brazil and India lead in the number of deaths from COVID-19

Britain comes out on top in the world in terms of the number of infections: 54 thousand per day

On July 19, 2021, coronavirus restrictions expired in Britain, which was supposed to herald the complete resumption of the economy affected by the deepest recession in 300 years.

But, on July 17 and 18, the country experienced the largest increase in the number of cases of infection in the world.

According to data compiled by Johns Hopkins University, more than 54,000 new cases were reported in the UK on July 17, and in July 18 - more than 47,600, which is more than in Indonesia, the current epicenter of the pandemic.

Death from vaccinations in Russia ceased to be taken into account in mortality statistics from COVID-19

In mid-July 2021, it became known about the new methodological recommendations of the Ministry of Health of the Russian Federation on coding and choosing the main state in the statistics of morbidity and the initial cause of death. According to the document, death from vaccinations in Russia will not be taken into account in mortality statistics from the coronavirus COVID-19.

As the publication "Medical Bulletin" clarifies with reference to the updated version of the methodological recommendations, all adverse reactions to vaccination are encoded by the new section U12.9. The code only applies as an external cause of death.

External causes of death include those caused not by diseases but by various external influences. They may be intentional (murder and suicide) or unintentional (accidents involving traffic or caused by fire; drowning; poisoning; falls), damage with uncertain intentions is also distinguished. This is the only class of causes that condition only preventable deaths.

The Ministry of Health in the recommendations indicates that the introduction of new codes is necessary, since "for Russian health care it is important to obtain reliable statistical data on the situation on morbidity and mortality associated with COVID-19)." At the same time, making these changes, the department, as it claims, implemented the recommendations. WHO In January 2021, the organization updated the International Disease Codes (ICD) by introducing separate codes, including for side effects in the therapeutic use of the COVID-19 vaccine.

The U12.9 code in mortality statistics is not used and is not to be used in coding the underlying disease. At the same time, official mortality statistics after the introduction of the COVID-19 coronavirus vaccine in Russia by July 2021 are not published.^[14]

The number of pregnant women who died from COVID-19 in Russia reached 149 women

On June 29, 2021, it became known about the number of pregnant women in Russia who died from the coronavirus COVID-19. Due to the consequences associated with this infection, 149 women in the situation died.

Last [2020], they did not come home to the family, did not please their mothers and dads, beloved husbands and the environment of 103 pregnant women with their return.. and 46 - already in this [2021] year, - said at a press conference Academician of the Russian Academy of Sciences, Director of the Scientific Center for Obstetrics, Gynecology and Perinatology named after Academician V.I. Kulakov Gennady Sukhikh.

According to him, about 300 women in 2020 required a ventilator, 10 of them went through a severe extracorporeal membrane oxygenation procedure.

Elena Belova, an infectious disease doctor, an employee of the scientific and clinical department of the Moscow State Center for AIDS and the International Educational and Methodological Center for Human Virology of the RUDN Medical Institute, notes that the blood of pregnant women has an increased tendency to coagulate, which is believed to be due to the need to quickly stop bleeding after childbirth. The coronavirus itself can cause a similar effect, which means that pregnant women have an increased risk of thrombosis, which is considered one of the main causes of death from COVID-19.

In June 2021, the Ministry of Health of the PF allowed Sputnik V to vaccinate pregnant women. According to the head of the department, Mikhail Murashko, this decision was made due to the positive results of clinical trials of the vaccine.

In May 2021, the developer of the drug Center named after N.F. Gamalei reported that during clinical trials of the vaccine, 21 cases of pregnancy were registered among the study participants. It was about pregnancy with a period of three to eight months. No serious side effects were found, the researchers argued.^[15]

WHO: 115 thousand health workers died in the world due to COVID-19

At the end of May 2021, the World Health Organization (WHO) reported that at least 115,000 medical workers died due to COVID-19.

Speaking at the opening of the annual WHO assembly, the head of the organization, Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, paid tribute to the work of health professionals around the world, noting that "many have become infected from patients, and although there are still few reports, we estimate that at least 115,000 health workers paid the highest price by serving others." He warned that the situation was still volatile and that "on current trends the number of deaths would exceed last year's within the next three weeks."

Ghebreyesus also noted that the pandemic has not yet ended and will not end until the transmission of the infection is controlled in every country in the world. According to Johns Hopkins University, more than 3.4 million people died from COVID-19 at the end of May. Another 167 million have had a coronavirus infection.

Despite the active production of vaccines, the solution to the problem of vaccination is far from perfect.

More than 75% of all vaccines are administered in just 10 countries. Thus, a small group of countries that produce and buy most vaccines in the world control the fate of the rest of the world, "said Ghebreyesus.

He noted that the doses produced would be enough to vaccinate all medical workers and all elderly people around the world. Meanwhile, the WHO-led COVAX program was able to deliver just 72m doses to 92 low- and middle-income countries. These doses were enough to vaccinate only 1% of the population of these countries.

Ghebreyesus called on developed countries to "support a massive vaccination campaign." WHO plans to vaccinate at least 10% of each country's population by September, and at least 30% by the end of the year^[16]

76.5% of patients with COVID-19 on mechanical ventilation died in Russia

76.5% of Russians infected with coronavirus who underwent artificial lung ventilation (IVL) procedures have died. Such data on April 19, 2021 was cited by the chief pulmonologist of the Ministry of Health of Russia Sergei Avdeev at the general meeting of the Department of Medical Sciences of the Russian Academy of Sciences.

According to his presentation, the mortality rate of patients with coronavirus infection on non-invasive ventilation was 36.8%, and with oxygen supply - 10%.

Avdeev explained the high mortality rate of patients on mechanical ventilation by the fact that patients developed barotrauma, pneumotorex, subcutaneous emphysema (the frequency of the latter complication is from 10 to 40%), Interfax reports.

Earlier, Avdeev said that the reason for the high mortality rate of patients with coronavirus placed on mechanical ventilation is that each of them is in a very serious condition by the time of connection.

If we are talking about the use of mechanical ventilation to maintain the life of a patient with coronavirus, this is an extremely severe patient, the chances of recovery of which are initially lower than those of others. Pneumonia itself is a severe infectious disease. It has a serious course in which many functioning alveoli that carry out gas exchange are pathologically involved, the specialist noted.

The chief pulmonologist of the Ministry of Health on April 19, 2021 said that if earlier "they talked about the preference for early intubation," now it is better to apply "other tactics of respiratory support."

The statistics of Sergei Avdeev on the high mortality rate of patients who underwent artificial lung ventilation are also confirmed by data from a study by Sechenov University on mortality on mechanical ventilation. Of the 61 patients who underwent non-invasive ventilation, 44 survived. Those who did not have the result of this therapy underwent a ventilator procedure, and out of 17 patients, only two got out.^[17]

Record of weekly incidence in the world: 5.2 million people

In mid-April 2021, over the past 7 days, more people have been diagnosed with Covid-19 than in any other week since the outbreak began, which globally amounts to 5.2 million people worldwide.

In India, a variant with two mutations causes more and more infections.

Death of 145 priests of the Russian Orthodox Church from COVID-19

As of February 3, 2021, 145 clergy of the Russian Orthodox Church (ROC) have died from the coronavirus COVID-19. 4001 cleric and monk of the Russian Orthodox Church have had this infection.

As reported by Interfax"" with reference to the statement of the Working Group under the Patriarch of Moscow and All Russia to coordinate the activities of church institutions in the context of the spread of COVID-19, 381 clergy of parishes, Moscow 2728 clergy of dioceses of Russia and 892 clergy and inhabitants of stavropegy were ill with coronavirus. From complications caused by coronavirus infection, 14 clerics of Moscow parishes, 107 clerics Russia of dioceses and 24 clerics and inhabitants of the Stavropegy died.

By February 3, 2021, 366 priests continue to be treated for COVID-19, and over the past week the number of cases has increased: in dioceses it has increased by 21, in stavropigia it has decreased by nine, in Moscow parishes it has decreased by six people.

At the end of December 2020, Patriarch Kirill of Moscow and All Russia at the annual diocesan meeting of Moscow informed that since the beginning of the epidemic, only 350 Orthodox priests and 720 inhabitants and inhabitants of monasteries have been infected with the coronavirus. Thus, either in a month the number of cases in the Russian Orthodox Church almost quadrupled, or the data announced by the patriarch were not correct.

Patriarch of Moscow and All Russia Kirill for the first time added a separate appeal to the Christmas sermon - to comply with the instructions of doctors and the call to believe not only in God.

I know that there are people who do not believe in anything - they do not believe in either disease or danger, neglect these medical prescriptions. It is very dangerous when people do not believe in God. Deadly. Just as it is dangerous today if people do not believe in the spread of infection. And they do not protect themselves from this infection, - said Patriarch Kirill.[18]

A third of those seriously ill with COVID-19 are returning to the hospital. Every 8th - dies

In mid-January 2021, a study by the University of Leicester and the Office for National Statistics (ONS) was published, according to which almost a third of those seriously ill with coronavirus return to the hospital within five months, and one in eight patients dies.

The study showed that many people who have been ill develop long-term consequences: heart problems, diabetes mellitus and chronic liver and kidney diseases. Of the 47,780 people discharged from hospital in the first wave, 29.4% were readmitted within 140 days and 12.3% of the total died. Considering that while the official statistics of deaths from coronavirus include only patients who died within 28 days from receiving a positive smear, the real losses can be much greater. Researchers urged doctors to closely monitor discharged patients.

The study found that COVID-19 survivors were almost three and a half times more likely to be readmitted and die within 140 days than other outpatients. The author of the study, Professor of the Department of Diabetes and Vascular Medicine at the University of Leicester Kamlesh Khunti noted that many patients returned with new diagnoses, and reminded how important it is to prescribe protective drugs.

The new study was published electronically and has not yet been peer-reviewed. However, experts have already called this publication "very important." For example, Christina Pagel, head of clinical and operational research at University College London, said:

This is an extremely important job. Covid is not limited to deaths alone. A significant part of our problems is associated with hospitalizations of people who have already recovered.[19]

China quarantined more than 22 million people

China, facing its worst coronavirus outbreak since the summer of 2020, has quarantined more than 22 million people, double the number in January 2020 in Wuhan.

An average of 109 new infections per day are recorded over the past week, outbreaks are small compared to devastation in other countries, but they threaten to undermine China's success in suppressing the virus and restarting the economy. The lockdown covers the cities of Shijiazhuang, Xingtai and Langfang, as well as districts in Beijing.

Ministry of Health: mortality from coronavirus in Russia is 1.7%

On November 24, 2020, the Deputy Head of the Ministry of Health of the Russian Federation Oleg Gridnev, speaking at the Coordination Council of Human Rights Commissioners, called the mortality rate from the coronavirus COVID-19 in Russia - 1.7%.

He noted that high mortality can be associated with reasons that are not directly related to coronavirus. Thus, during the pandemic, the number of visits to emergency departments of patients with serious diagnoses and chronic diseases decreased. From March to November 2020, the attendance of emergency departments has halved, the number of visits to doctors of patients with chronic diseases has also decreased by 30-50%, the deputy minister explained.

Gridnev said that the pandemic could lead to excess mortality in Russia for reasons not related to the coronavirus. In addition, this indicator is also affected by the mental health of Russians, which was affected by the pandemic and the introduction of measures to combat coronavirus.

This led to an increase in the number of diagnoses such as depression, attention deficit disorder and hyperactivity. Due to quarantine, the attendance of doctors by patients with mental health disorders has decreased, which further can also lead to an increase in mortality due to an increase in the number of suicidal attempts and, possibly, domestic violence, he added.

According to the operational headquarters as of November 24, 2020, 37,031 people died in Russia from complications caused by coronavirus infection, including 491 patient in the last 24 hours, which was a record death rate since the beginning of the pandemic.

The number of new cases of detection of the disease is growing, we see this by numbers. Unfortunately, the number of severe complications is also growing. And the most alarming thing is that the mortality rate is increasing, "Russian President Vladimir Putin said at a meeting with the government on November 18, 2020[20]

40 million infections, 1.1 million deaths

First death registered in Holland after re-infection with COVID-19

In mid-October 2020, it became the first death recorded in the world after re-infection with the COVID-19 coronavirus. An 89-year-old resident of Holland, who had previously been diagnosed with cancer, died from this infection.

According to the news agency BNO News, in July 2020, the patient was taken to the hospital and tested positive for coronavirus. 5 days after the symptoms of the disease disappeared, doctors discharged her.

However, two months later, the woman was again taken to the hospital with a high fever and cough and again passed the coronavirus test, which gave a positive result. Already on the eighth day, her condition worsened, and two weeks after that she died.

Experts compared both tests and found that the genetic compositions of the virus differ, which confirms the version of repeated infection.

By October 13, 2020, 23 cases of re-infection with COVID-19 were registered in the world. 20 patients from this category have recovered, three are currently continuing treatment. At the same time, in Russia, according to Alexander Gorelov, deputy director for scientific work of the Central Research Institute of Epidemiology of Rospotrebnadzor, no cases of re-infection with coronavirus were recorded.

The first case of coronavirus infection in the Netherlands was detected on February 27, 2020. By September 13, 2020, 181 thousand infected people were registered in the country, of which more than 6.5 thousand people died.

Earlier, the World Health Organization (WHO) created a special group that will study cases of re-infection with coronavirus. The organization explained that people develop strong immunity after COVID-19, but how much it lasts is still unknown.^[21]

COVID-19 entered the top three "killers" of Americans

At the end of August 2020, Bloomberg reported that the Covid-19 pandemic in the United States was the third leading cause of American death in 2020. The first two places are traditionally occupied by cardiovascular and oncological diseases.

The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention tracks deaths and causes of death in Americans each year. They make up tables of data that make it possible to assess the state of health of the nation and progress in the field of public health. In particular, these tables show gradual progress in the fight against diseases such as cancer and diabetes mellitus, as well as an alarming rise in problems such as drug overdose.

However, usually the first ten fatal diseases practically do not change from year to year, so the appearance of a new "player" on the field is an unheard of event. However, in 2020, Covid-19 led to the deaths of at least 173,000 Americans, overtaking fatal accidents, chronic respiratory diseases, cerebrovascular diseases such as strokes, drug overdoses, Alzheimer's disease and diabetes mellitus. For comparison, deaths from influenza ranked eighth in 2017 and 2018, when 55,672 and 59,120 people died, respectively - less than a third of the number of victims of Covid-19.

In April 2020, the United States came out on top in the world in terms of the number of deaths from COVID-19, ahead of Italy in this indicator, but the disease does not intend to stop there. As of August 22, 5.623 million cases of COVID-19 infection and 175,406 deaths from this disease were recorded in the United States (according to Johns Hopkins University). It is believed that among the factors that caused a large number of diseases with the new coronavirus in the United States are high population mobility and weak quarantine measures.^[22]

NYT: official deaths from COVID-19 in the United States are greatly underestimated

In mid-August 2020, the New York Times reported that 200,000 more people have died in the United States than usual since March. The number of "additional deaths" increased sharply in the Northeast in April and May, and since June has been steadily growing in the south and west of the country, that is, the growth is directly related to the spread of the pandemic. At the same time, the official death rate from the pandemic according to Hopkins University is 166,000 people.

The New York Times explained that counting deaths takes time, and many states do not have time to file reports, lagging by whole weeks and months. The estimates of the Centers for Disease Prevention and Control are adjusted for the backlog of mortality data and compared with previous years. But even with the adjustment, it is possible that the total death toll will be underestimated if the increase in deaths leads to a greater backlog of reporting than in the past, or if states have changed their reporting systems.

According to the Centers for Disease Prevention and Control, from March 15 to August 1, 2020, there were 211,500 additional deaths in the United States. Not all of these people have died after contracting the virus, but it is assumed that this number is much closer to the true losses from the pandemic than the official data.

The number of confirmed cases of coronavirus has been gradually decreasing since the end of July, but the United States has been seriously affected by the pandemic. According to the Times, 47 of the 50 US states reported a sharp increase in deaths. Only three states reported no additional deaths in 2020: Alaska, Hawaii and West Virginia. In states such as Nevada, Georgia, North Carolina and Mississippi, the number of cases is only growing - and the number of "additional deaths" has risen sharply in these same states^[23]

17 million infections in the world

At the end of July 2020, more than 17,000,000 cases of covid-19 have been officially confirmed around the world, but most experts agree that the real figure is much higher. This chart does not take into account the number of tests, only the number of recorded infections.

16 million infections in the world

The number of people in the world who have been diagnosed with coronavirus has exceeded 16 million, according to data from Johns Hopkins University.

In total, 16,046,986  people passed a positive test for COVID-19. Of these, 4.17 million are in the United States, another 2.39 million were infected in Brazil, 1.38 million in India. The fourth place in the number of infected is occupied by Russia, 806.7 thousand patients were identified in the country.

Ministry of Health: more than half of those infected with COVID-19 die on mechanical ventilation

According to the Ministry, health care Russia more than half of those infected with coronavirus COVID-19 who are on artificial lung ventilation (IVL) die. Such statistics on July 22, 2020 were cited by the chief pulmonologist Ministry of Health of Russia, Professor Sechenov University Sergei Avdeev.

The mortality rate (of patients with coronavirus) on mechanical ventilation is extremely high. 30-50% (of those who fall) in intensive care, and on mechanical ventilation - from 50 - to 80%, - he said at a press conference.

Avdeev called such figures "unprecedentedly high." He also clarified that there was no "terrible shortage" of ventilators in Russia, but in April 2020, their shortage was recorded, including in Moscow.^[24]

In May 2020,  Alexei Fedorov, head of the department of the Center for Cardiovascular Surgery at the Burdenko Military Hospital , revealed mortality statistics for patients with coronavirus at Clinical Hospital No. 40 in Kommunarka - 86% of patients connected to mechanical ventilation died.

Fedorov stressed that, despite the disappointing numbers, it is impossible not to connect the suffocating to the apparatus, this is a murder. The head of the department noted that resuscitators are trying by all means to delay the transfer of the patient to mechanical ventilation.

The physician also drew a model of a typical resuscitation patient - a man of 40 or more years with overweight, often with cardiovascular diseases and impaired carbohydrate metabolism. The doctor noted that this does not mean that there are no women or thin and young infected people in such wards, there are simply clearly fewer of them.

According to official data, by July 23, 2020, 12,892 people died from a new type of coronavirus in Russia, including 147 patients in the last 24 hours. Mortality from COVID-19 in Russia (8.7 per 100 thousand population) is significantly lower than in the USA (44.2), Brazil (40.3) and most other large countries.

Real mortality from coronavirus in Russia may be 72% higher

The real mortality rate from the coronavirus COVID-19 in Russia may be more than 70% higher than official statistics say. On May 11, 2020, the Financial Times (FT) wrote about this, referring to the results of its own analysis. Read more here.

Financial Times: real deaths from COVID-19 are 60% higher than official

On April 26, 2020, it became known that the death rate from COVID-19 in the world could be 60% higher than the official information channels say, according to the Financial Times, which conducted its own study of the number of deaths in 14 states.

Journalists cite general mortality data in these countries. According to the information received, during the pandemic period, 122 thousand more people died in them than usual. At the same time, the authorities reported 77 thousand deaths from coronavirus in the same period.

If we assume that official statistics underestimate the data, and extrapolate the difference revealed by journalists to the whole world, it turns out that the total number of deaths from coronavirus in the world as of the end of April 2020 reached 318 thousand people. While the official figure is 201 thousand people.

To calculate the actual mortality, the FT compared all-cause mortality during the weeks of the outbreak in March and April 2020 with the average mortality rate over the same period between 2015 and 2019, when there was no coronavirus.

It turned out that without taking into account deaths from coronavirus, mortality in the studied 14 states increased by 50% compared to previous periods. And such growth is abnormal. Therefore, researchers tend to believe that these are also deaths from COVID-19, which were not included in the official statistics.

As an example, the researchers cited data for several countries. According to the calculations obtained, the total mortality rate during the pandemic increased by 60% in Belgium, by 51% in Spain, by 42% in the Netherlands and by 34% in France compared to the same period in previous years.

In all analyzed countries, with the exception of Denmark, the number of unaccounted for deaths significantly exceeded the official number of deaths from coronavirus. The accuracy of official statistics on the number of deaths from the virus is low, according to journalists, due to the low effectiveness of testing methods.^[25]

Scientists estimate the number of infected in Germany 10 times higher than the official figure

In May 2020, German scientists estimated the real number of infected in Germany at 1.8 million people.

A group of virologists led by Hendrik Shtrek has published the results of a study conducted in Heinsberg County, which has become the center of the coronavirus in Germany.

The real number of people infected with the COVID-19 coronavirus in Germany can be at least 1.8 million people - more than ten times higher than the official indicator identified on the basis of testing.
