Yesterday, Bulgaria was the first in terms of mortality from COVID-19 in the EU – Diseases

The development of the Covid-19 epidemic refutes the government’s claims that it is doing well in managing the crisis. In Bulgaria, the pandemic set a deadly record for November 20. According to statistics, today we are the country with the highest number of deaths from coronavirus (per 1 million inhabitants) in the European Union, with 17.1 victims for each of the almost seven million inhabitants, writes Sega.bg, citing data from ourworldindata.org.

Outside the EU, only Bosnia and Herzegovina is ahead of us in black statistics, with 19.5 Covid-19 deaths per million in the last 24 hours. But as it turned out, we will probably catch up with it at a rapid pace.

As of November 20, 119 people have died from the disease in our country, which is not even a national record (on November 17 there were 152 deaths, and the number of victims in the last week remained permanently above 100 per day), but it is enough to lead us to anticlassification. Poland ranks second with a death rate close to that of Bulgaria with an incomparably larger population, and other European countries are coping more or less better with survival.

The graphic is from the OurWorldInData site, and for reference, along with the 27 EU countries, it is also left to the United States, famous for its inability to cope with the epidemic.

According to the European Center for Disease Prevention and Control, which summarizes the cases of the last 14 days, for this period our country ranks third in the EU (after the Czech Republic and Belgium) in the number of deaths from million, but the graph shows a decline in daily, and with us – quite the opposite.

For 1 million inhabitants, Bulgaria is ahead of Romania in terms of mortality, and if the situation is not controlled, we will be next to the United States in this indicator.
