51% of people who die from coronavirus, mainly the elderly, were not previously treated in ICU but in individual beds.
This is clear from a document presented by “To Vima” which shows that although there are still beds available in the ICU, a significant number of patients do not enter them despite their deteriorating health.
So the picture that deaths from the deadly virus come primarily from people who end up in the ICU after, most of the time, intubation is not accurate and there are significant discrepancies.
However, government officials and epidemiologists note that “In some cases, the choice of coronavirus patients not to enter the ICU is due to underlying diseases they have and make this admission as problematic as it is useless.». 
What the document says
The 11-page document deals with the latest weekly report, on period October 19-25 – prepared by the competent bodies dealing with the development of the epidemic and sent to the competent government departments.
The document states that the seven days in question, when cases increased rapidly, A total of 63 people died with an average age of 82 years. and there was a comparative increase of 1.59% in deaths compared to the previous week.
Of particular interest, however, is what is mentioned immediately afterwards in this recording that “31 of the dead (49.21%) were intubated patients in ICU and 32 (50.79%) were patients in clinical wards outside of ICU “.
In fact, the document states immediately afterwards that “the mean age of patients who died in the ICU is 72 years, while the mean age of patients who died outside the ICU is 84 years.
This can lead to the indication that in many nursing groups, people over 80 years of age -mainly-, although their health is deteriorating due to the coronavirus, may not enter the ICU and leave their last breath in simple beds.
Every case is different
Doctors told “Vima” that each case is judged differently and that medical protocols are followed and that there is no screening of patients, as is the case abroad. “
However, they added that “there is no doubt that a patient older than 80-82 years cannot be admitted to the ICU due to his advanced age.
It is observed that in another report of 83 pages of government officials presented during the same period, it was determined that the coverage in ICUs in the period 25-27 October was of the order of 48% throughout the territory and 60% in Attica and the co-capital.
