A recent medical study in the United States brought good news for those infected with the Coronavirus, saying that the death rate from “Covid 19” has dropped significantly among carriers of the infection.
And according to what was reported by “The New York Times”, the percentage of infected people who recover and survive the Corona pandemic is witnessing a significant increase, and explained that the issue also includes those with severe symptoms.
The United States is the country most affected by the Corona pandemic, after the virus infected more than 9 million people, of which more than 234,000 died.
In a New York hospital, for example, 30 percent of Corona’s patients died last March, while the death rate from the disease did not exceed 3 percent this past June.
This decrease is not limited to the United States, but also in England, the data reveals that 4 out of 10 people in intensive care were dying from the disease, last March.
Last June, the percentage of survivors recovered from the epidemic reached 80 percent, meaning the disease has become less lethal, according to John Dennis, a researcher at the University of Exeter in Britain.
But some researchers caution against over-optimism because there is so far no confirmed evidence that the virus has been transmitted less from person to person or that it has become less virulent.
Some experts believe that the decrease in the death rate among those infected is due to the adoption of measures to protect those most vulnerable to diseases, such as the elderly, while the number of infected people has increased among the young and old. younger.
And in late August, health figures in the United States revealed that the median age of those infected had fallen below forty.
Consequently, researchers have been confused about this change, has the virus really become less lethal or is it caused by the infection of young people whose health does not deteriorate significantly as a result of “Covid 19”?
To answer this question, researchers from the “New Langone” Health Center in New York analyzed data from more than 5,000 “Covid 19” patients who were admitted to three hospitals between March and August.
The results concluded that the emerging corona virus has already become less lethal and denied that the improvement is due to the infection of the young and the prevention of the elderly.
The study revealed that the death rate of the virus has decreased significantly, even when we take into account many factors such as sex, age, ethnicity and the diseases that the infected person suffers from.
The study indicated that the death rate caused by the virus among the sample, which is in the thousands, fell to 7.6 percent last August, while it was up to 25.6 percent, last March.
