Exactly 500 days ago, the first person died of COVID-19 in Lithuania. During this time, at least 25 thousand. Lithuanians experienced the gravest loss of their lives, which, it turned out, could have been prevented.
The Statistics Department estimates that since then, using the narrower definition of death from COVID-19, the disease has claimed 4,416 lives. In this case, it is considered death from COVID-19 if the doctor has indicated COVID-19 as the main cause of death on the person’s medical death certificate.
Using a broader definition, such as “death in less than 28 days from a positive diagnostic test,” the number of COVID victims would double instead of 4416: 9038.
Of the 4,416 deaths from COVID-19, only 20 were fully vaccinated.
1 great-grandfather lost his grandson due to COVID;
100 grandparents lost their grandson due to COVID;

11,528 grandchildren lost one of their grandparents due to COVID;
5,215 grandchildren lost one of their great-grandparents to COVID;
36 great-grandchildren lost one of their great-grandparents to COVID;
The Statistics Department noted that some family members were even more affected by the pandemic:
5 parents lost up to two children due to COVID;
3 people lost a son and a grandson due to COVID;
35 children lost both parents to COVID;
112 grandchildren lost two grandparents to COVID;
77 great-grandchildren lost two grandparents to COVID;
2 great-grandchildren lost 2 great-grandparents to COVID;
36 people lost a parent and a grandparent due to COVID;
