The Secretary of State of the Ministry of Health, Horațiu Moldovan, suggests that the Romanian official balance of Covid-19 deaths does not accurately reflect reality, since many of the people with comorbidities, diagnosed with SARS-CoV-2, already they were in that state. severe due to the chronic diseases they suffered, so it is not possible to say exactly if they died due to the new coronavirus.
“Many deaths are reported in patients who die from another cause. We follow deaths every day, on time, on a case-by-case basis, and 80 percent are patients who have comorbidities, who would have died anyway, who have terminal cancer. The phenomenon of death is a complex phenomenon from a medical point of view. It is a whole science that deals with this, it is called thanatology. At the moment of death or, well, at the beginning of terminal suffering, the patient develops multiple complications: he becomes infected, loses his immunity, and finally, in a covid epidemic, takes covid. But he dies of terminal heart failure, dies of cancer with advanced metastatic disease, dies of liver cirrhosis, is associated with extreme ages of about 90 years, and so on. The incidence of these patients is relatively important, so, in my opinion, without having precise statistics, because they are difficult to make, but or will have to be done at some point, there are a lot of patients we can’t say died from Covid infection, “Dr. Horațiu Moldovan said Monday night on Antena 3.
“Important difference!” Stressed the Secretary of State when the producer mentioned the case of Germany, which only reported the deaths caused exclusively by Covid-19 and, therefore, its “performance” in the statistics, which shows that In Despite the large number of registered infections, unlike other countries, it has few deaths.
The situation reported by Horațiu Moldovan adds to another situation, which the general reported last week. Ionel Oprea, who coordinated the activity of the Suceava County Hospital while under military leadership. The general said he found that hospital personnel did not report some of the dead in time, “so as not to be interpreted.” Thus, the situation was reached in which the people who had died several days ago were announced, late, in the current balances of greedy deaths.
Horațiu Moldovan also said, Monday night, that the drugs now used in the treatment of covid have questionable efficacy, to some extent, that they are conceptually borrowed from treatments for other infections. On the other hand, he believes that it is highly unlikely that an ideal treatment scheme, specific for this coronavirus, will be found in the autumn, which will guarantee the guarantee of greedy cases.
As of May 4, 818 deaths have been reported in Romania since the start of the Covid-19 epidemic. In total, 13,512 people were confirmed positive with the new coronavirus. 5,269 of them have already been cured. Authorities say the figures show that 6 percent of all infected people have died and 39 percent have recovered.
