The coronavirus epidemic 2020 will be the deadliest year in U.S. history.
While final data will not be available for months, preliminary figures suggest that U.S. More than 2.2 million people have died this year, at least 400,000,000 more than in 2001 – according to the Associated Press, the figure could still be higher.
It jumps to 1 %%, the largest single-year percentage leap since 1918, when thousands of U.S. soldiers died in World War I and hundreds more died of the Spanish flu.
By Wednesday morning, COVID-19 had reached the U.S. The country is still seeing record spikes, according to data from Johns Hopkins University, which has claimed the lives of 322,849 people.
It has been ranked ahead of heart disease and cancer at the time – and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) believes it may be responsible for much more than it counts so far.
The outbreak of pneumonia cases earlier this year could be a Covid-19 death, which was not identified at the outset of the outbreak, according to Robert Ersderson, an official with the Foreign Statistics CDC.
An unexpected number of epidemics caused by certain types of heart and circulatory diseases, diabetes and dementia may also be bound, the answer to which is already the reduction in care received by weak patients and lockdown due to those conditions.
Suicide deaths fell to 301 compared to 201, but Anderson said the encouraging trend did not appear to be continuing this year, which is due to the loneliness of lockdown and an increase in the current state of mental health.
Drug overdose deaths, meanwhile, also appear to have risen – to 81,000 in the 12 months ending May, the highest number in a single year.
Specialists use the drug to treat epidemic disruptions for in-person treatment and recovery services, as well as when helping at home alone, without calling anyone for help.
But perhaps the biggest factor is that COVID-19 has also caused supply problems for dealers, forcing them to mix cheap and deadly fentanyl into more heroin, cocaine and methamphetamine, experts said.
“I have no doubt there are a bunch of new people who suddenly started using the drug because of Kovid. If anything, I think the supply of people who are already using drugs is more contaminated, ”said Shannon Monnat, a researcher at Syracuse University, who studies overdose trends.
