The death toll in November increased the number of coronavirus victims by more than one and a half times, according to official reports.

The Central Bureau of Statistics has released its demographic data for November, and we can see the same in the October figures: the number of deaths is increasing much more dramatically than the official data from the coronavirus epidemic warrant. In October, according to the epidemiological information website, there were 1,038 victims of the coronavirus, but 1,549 more people died than a year earlier.

And in November, when the coronavirus had 3,158 deaths, according to official figures, 5,279 more people died than a year ago.

The reason for the difference of more than two thousand people has not been detailed. It is likely that there are those who contracted the coronavirus but did not reach the diagnosis, there may be those who had other diseases but did not receive adequate treatment due to the epidemic, and of course if there was a communication error in the epidemiological information, it will appear in these numbers. .

The most tragic month in the last more than twenty years was November this year: 15,366 Hungarians died in one month. The last time there were more deaths in a month was in January 2000 in the country.

So far, we have heard many times that far fewer Hungarians have died this year than last year – so far. The main reason for this huge difference was that there were no flu pandemics as severe this year as in 2019, with 3,300 fewer people dying in January-February than a year ago. Furthermore, even during the first wave of the epidemic, there were hundreds of fewer casualties per month than the previous year, presumably due in part to restrictions caused by the epidemic and the temporary evacuation of hospitals from hospital infections.

However, the tragic October-November has also reversed this good trend, with 3,909 more people dying this year than in the first eleven months of 2019.

Let’s look at the demographics birth page! In the past year, the CSO has posted higher month-to-month birth rates than a year earlier, even now, but this time with just 19 more children than in November last year. The 7334 births are a completely average figure for November compared to previous years,

However, the situation remains good throughout the year, so far 3,563 more people have been born than in January-November 2019.

The fertility rate has risen to 1.56, which means that the data shows that more people will have a child if the government supports it with money, but even so, we are a long way from avoiding depopulation. And the effects of the economic crisis on motherhood will appear in the statistics for the coming months.

Natural weight loss was thus 8,032 in November, 190 percent more than a year earlier. For the full year, 37,327 more people have died than were born, representing a natural weight loss 0.9 percent greater than between January and November 2019.
