[사회]Most deaths a day … “The future is more of a problem with the lack of beds”

[앵커]

The number of people who died from Corona 19 per day was 13, the highest in history.

The cumulative number of patients with severe gastric disorders also surpassed 200, the highest number since the outbreak in Korea.

I’m more worried because even the beds are running out, but reporter Lee Hyung-won pointed out the future trend.

13 people died a day from Corona 19.

The cumulative death toll reached 600 in the first two digits since the outbreak in Korea in January.

Most of them are 60 years or older (94%).

The number of seriously ill patients requiring ventilators or oxygen therapy has also increased by 20.

It is the highest in history with 205 people accumulated, and 84% of the people over 60 were the majority.

The future is more of a problem.

This is because severity and death occur within a time difference after infection, and considering the recent confirmation size of around 1,000 people, it can be difficult to manage.

[정기석 / 한림대성심병원 호흡기내과 교수 : 앞으로 위중증과 사망자는 계속 늘 겁니다. 위중증이 되고 난 다음에 사망하는 데까지 최소 2주에서 4주가 걸리기 때문에….]

Prompt treatment can reduce the damage, but even the bed is wearing thin.

Currently, there are 43 beds for critically ill patients throughout the country, with only 5 in the metropolitan area, where 79% of seriously ill patients are concentrated.
