If you believe the death statistics from the Federal Office of Public Health (BAG), a child died from Corona. It was anything but clear from the start. «The boy tested positive for Covid-19 when he entered the hospital. As time passed, his condition worsened until he finally passed away. It is not clear to what extent Covid-19 actually contributed to the tragic course, ”explained Roger Lauener, chief pediatrician at the St. Gallen children’s hospital in eastern Switzerland, at BLICK a few days ago.
The hospital will now contact you again. Because: it is not yet clear what the child died of. “It is currently unclear which germ has contributed to the tragic course,” Roger Lauener tells BLICK. Therefore, more clarifications are being made to find out why the child died. One thing is clear: Corona was detected in children for defamation. And: “Also, another pathogen was found in the process,” said the chief physician.
This is not the first time that BAG statistics have been criticized
It is not the first false report of death by corona to be revealed. For example, included a citizen of Zurich († 29) who allegedly died of Corona between December 21 and 27. The canton of Zurich disagreed. Although the deceased actually had the corona virus, it can be ruled out that he died from it. However, even after this clarification, it will not disappear from the BAG statistics. As small as the boy from St. Gallen.
Just an “epidemiological statistic”
The cases show: The FOPH does not know how many people in Switzerland actually died from the corona virus. But why are the corona deaths statistics kept if the bureau is not even clear what the “corona deaths” actually died for? The office stated that it was an “epidemiological statistic.” If a patient who tested positive for the corona virus dies, the FOPH knows there is a less active case.
However, the BAG does not activate this important classification, as you can see on the home page. It is written across the death tape – it gives the impression that the Federal Office really knows how many people died from the coronavirus. (jmh / la)
