The 459 new cases set a new record again, and on Wednesday 365 reported the new high so far. The epidemic is spreading rapidly and exponentially in Hungary, so we can probably see an even higher number of cases in the coming days. Therefore, it is very important to adhere to the current mild restrictive measures (such as the rules for the use of masks), because given the current rate of spread, it is not excluded that the epidemic will reach a level in the coming weeks that can only be slowed down with stricter measures.
An elderly man died, leaving 621. The number of deaths at first may seem surprising, given the high number of domestic infections, but there is a simple reason for this: the current average age of those infected is less than 30, compared to more than 60 in the spring. Unfortunately, we can expect the fast-spreading epidemic to reach the elderly sooner or later, and with a few weeks of delay we will also see an increase in mortality.
The number of actively infected shows a strong increase. It is important to know that the following figure shows the active cases detected (and therefore isolated), presumably many times higher in society than those that are actively sick (and therefore infected) but not explored. In the exponential propagation phase, therefore, special attention must be paid, because now the picture we see from the official data may be particularly inaccurate.
The rate of spread of the second wave is well illustrated by the epidemic curve of all diseases, with a positive slope from the end of August.
