[Brújula]The latest data on the development of Covid-19 cases in Indonesia as of September 24 shows that the death toll is 10,105. According to Dicky Budiman, an epidemiologist at Griffith University in Australia, the mortality rate for patients with new coronary pneumonia in Indonesia is the highest in ASEAN and among the top three in Asia. Mortality is an effective indicator to check the performance of a country or region in controlling the epidemic, a mortality that cannot be ignored or underestimated. He said that the actual number of deaths of new coronary pneumonia patients in Indonesia may be three times the number reported.
Dickey said on Friday (September 25): “The World Health Organization (WHO) definition of death from the new corona virus should be used as a reference and should be used in Indonesia. This will benefit us.” According to the WHO, it is included. The category of people who died from the new coronavirus includes probable and confirmed cases, unless there are other clear causes of death that have nothing to do with the new coronavirus. Therefore, people who died from clinical symptoms and are suspected of having the new corona virus should be included among the victims of the new corona virus epidemic.
Dickey said that more than 10,000 deaths were officially recorded and known to have caused Covid-19. But if you include the number of deaths that may or are suspected of being infected with the new coronavirus, it can triple. He said that if suspected and possible cases are counted, the death toll is expected to reach 30,000. But it should be noted that these are not real numbers. The 30,000 figure is only 80% of the actual figure.
Mortality is an effective indicator of a country or region to control the epidemic. Dicky said this means that Indonesia is in a very dire situation, especially the island of Java. The increase in the mortality rate (which has exceeded 10,000 cases) shows once again that a country, region or local government has implemented a strategy incorrectly or insufficiently. Dickey urged an immediate evaluation of the strategy to treat Covid-19, not only to increase testing, but to make it comprehensive, starting with the management of epidemic prevention and control at the national and regional levels. Dickey believes that epidemic prevention and control management has a major impact on all public health. He suggested that the evaluation should be on the right track again, with the health department as the functional department and the health minister as the commander. In this way, subsequent improvements in the strategies of other departments will follow. (Pl)
