Globally, only 6% to 15% of the actual number of new coronaviruses are detected. It is estimated that by the end of March, tens of millions of people worldwide have already been infected.
Official data on people with COVID-19 can be extremely low, according to a study from the University of Göttingen, Germany, published in the respected journal Lancet.
In the United States, the authors say, there should be more than 10 million people diagnosed with coronavirus, in Spain, more than 5 million, in Italy, about 3 million, and in England, 2 million. For their calculations, the researchers used COVID-19’s death rate and the average time from infection to death, writes News.ru.
Meanwhile, according to the University of Seattle Institute for Health, Metrics and Evaluation, this is the “first wave” of the pandemic. According to their estimates, the general spike in Europe’s death rate will occur in the third week of April. According to a mathematical model from the University of Europe, 151 680 people will die in the summer.
The closure of businesses and other economic measures have affected 2.7 billion workers worldwide, representing around 81% of the global workforce. 1.25 billion people are employed in areas with particularly high economic risk.
In the second quarter of 2020, due to various restrictions, a total of 6.7% of work time will be lost, which is equivalent to a total absence of 195 million people at work, according to a report by the International Organization of the Job.
According to the latest figures, the number of infected people in the world has reached more than 1,453 million, almost 85,000 have died and almost 310,000 have been recovered. The infection has spread to 212 countries and territories, according to the latest Reuters statistics. Bulgaria ranks 77th in the world in number of infected. Those most affected by the disease are the United States, with more than 402,000 reported cases. Italy continues to be the country with the highest casualties: 17,127.
