Covid-19: Patient in Vietnam ‘died of underlying disease’

One patient identified as “negative” after coronavirus infection in Vietnam died.

The media in Vietnam, citing information from the COVID-19 National Steering Committee for Disease Prevention and Control, announced that a 64-year-old male patient from Binh Luc, Ha Nam province, died ‘early May 1, 2020’ .

Many leading newspapers in Vietnam on the afternoon of 4/5 reported that this patient died “with a diagnosis of terminal cirrhosis.”

The media reports together appear to be the same in terms of content and text.

Patient No. 251 was described as a “multiple background disease” with a positive result for corona virus on April 7 and referred to the Central Hospital for Tropical Diseases for treatment.

“After four negative tests for SARS-CoV-2 after the treatment period of April 10, 12, 15, and 17, the National Hospital for Tropical Diseases determined that the patient was cured. Covid-19 infection, a condition stable from other diseases, referral to treat cirrhosis since April 17, “Thanh Nien newspaper reported.

“When the patient died, Ha Nam General Hospital conducted a negative SARS-CoV-2 test, the patient had no symptoms of lung damage caused by Covid-19.”

The newspapers reported on May 4: “The Professional Council of the Vietnamese Ministry of Health met with leading experts and determined that the death was not due to Covid-19.”

On May 3, the Vietnamese Ministry of Health announced a new additional COVID-19 case during the day, bringing the total number of COVID-19 cases to 271 now. Male patient, 37 years old, British citizen, expert in Vietnam Oil and Gas Group, can enter Vietnam to carry out economic projects.

The Ho Chi Minh City Center for Disease Control said it has decided that cases of concentrated isolation after entry will be sampled 4 times after the detection of this case.

Vietnam registered 271 COVID-19 patients as of May 4, 2019.

It seems that Covid-19’s death from ‘hepatitis’, number 251 in Vietnam, falls into one of the ways authorities assess what the crown-related death is.

Let’s see which countries are now on the “corona virus related” deaths.

British websites have been debating how the British media reported and how the British government called a Covid-19 victim dead.

Three ways of calculation

The count of ‘coronavirus-related deaths’ – coronavirus mortality – turned out to be different, because there are three calculations:

1- Death caused by coronavirus: death caused by coronavirus: these cases emphasize that the direct cause of death is the coronavirus with symptoms that have been described for a long time.

2- ‘Dead with Covid-19’ – died with coronavirus: died after infection with the coronavirus: in these cases, death may be due to another pathology, but the patient has had the coronavirus. It is not important to test positive or positive at the time of death. In some places like Scotland, patients put death notices on the phrase “died after contact with coronavirus” – death after transmitting coronavirus.

However, the patient’s relatives have the right to choose another reason for death, such as a broken heart.

According to BBC medical correspondent Nick Triggle, the British government’s “coronary virus” press and statistics may differ from how British hospitals record death.

In an article published on April 16, 2020, he cited an 18-year-old man from Coventry who tested positive for the corona virus just a day before his death.

The patient’s death was included in official data and the British newspaper later cited the case as ‘the youngest Covid-19 death’ in the UK, up to that point.

But the hospital in Coventry announced that the patient had died from pre-existing symptoms and illnesses, not from the corona virus.

3-Consider ‘coronavirus’ deaths in infectious environments without testing This is one way to count increases in deaths rather than decreases, as in Belgium.

In Europe, Belgium emerged as a country with a deliberate counting method, so the number of ‘Covid-19 deaths’ was very high.

Health officials in Belgium confirmed that in one case of death in a nursing home, they considered that “all patients who die die from having coronavirus without evidence; if only one case is contagious in an entire center.”

The so-called “suspected Covid-19 infection” according to BBC News correspondent Gavin Lee on May 2 in Belgium, actually only 16% of deaths in the country’s nursing home are “positive evidence.” tell “.

The remaining 3,500 rather high deaths were automatically considered “due to Covid-19” but were not confirmed by testing. As of May 2, Belgium had 7,703 deaths, with 53% in nursing homes.

The World Health Organization (WHO) warns that people who are negative for SARS-CoV-2 and have antibodies can still get a second infection.
