It's very approximate, the official covetali at the moment is, I think, around 5 million. I think based on the data we can be reasonably sure that it's more than double that, so it's above 10 million and I would say it's probably below 20 and it's tough. It is time to know more exactly because unfortunately for many countries we do not have any reliable data, so this estimate by the economist is an extrapolation of the data we have to large parts of the world where we do not have any. uva data, would you say that aligns with what you're seeing and hearing in the intensive care units?
how high is the actual coronavirus death toll covid 19 special
Yes, that's exactly what we saw last year. We learned a lot about the delay in treatment, for example, in cardiovascular diseases such as acute myocardial infarction or outside. of hospital cardiac arrest and in some regions, for example in Italy or in Paris, New York, the death

toll

tripled compared to 2019. So, it is something that we are learning now and we do not know what the effects will be in the next. years because people don't go to the doctor, they don't go to the doctor when they have symptoms, etc., so we need to get the data, but at the moment the numbers are quite uncertain, Dmitry, there will always be discrepancies between the excess deaths. and those attributed to covert, which is the most reliable number in his opinion, so we believe that excess mortality is a much more reliable indicator.

This differs a lot between countries in many countries also in Europe, countries like France, Belgium, the great shameless mortality and the official corvette. the mortality is just identical, they are tracked perfectly and you get the same number, but also countries like Peru in South America show the same thing, the excess mortality is equal to what they call mortality, so wherever we look at a country and there are many Thus, countries where excess mortality is much higher than the reported figures, we believe it is simply because deaths due to greed are not reported. What about excess mortality in people over 80 years of age or in children?
Dimitri, that's hard to detect because the numbers are very small, um, we and and for many countries, one important thing is that for many countries we don't have this information. Many countries publish overall death figures, but we do not yet have or will likely get detailed breakdowns by age later. I guess another question for you. Some people may think this is pretty simple, but I suppose it could be complicated. How do you distinguish between covert and non-covert deaths? Yes, it is quite difficult. Some people think about it and say: Did this person die of greed 19 or was the deity with the covenant greed? 19 the exact cause of death or we simply measure the amount of two viruses and the people in which the person died from an acute myocardial infarction, but we also know that many of the diseases, for example cardiovascular diseases, can be aggravated by the zaskoff zaskov2 virus. so it is extremely difficult to differentiate exactly the time of death when we are in the intensive care unit and we have a covert patient 19 dying from multiple organ failure.
That is, she died of multiple organ failure when the patient received something. acute myocardial infarction in combination with zaskov2 and he dies from myocardial infarction, maybe zaskov also added him and that this was the cause of death, so it is quite difficult and not all people are taken to Germany for autopsy , so we don't know the exact numbers and in the end it's the doctors who say this was due or that he died well when it comes to the numbers dimitri, what does the global mortality data set show when it comes to other diseases that we see in various countries? excess mortality, which is what we are measuring in the global mortality dataset, only tracks corvette deaths, e

special

ly during corvette outbreaks, all excess mortality is explained by corvettes, other contributions are very small in comparison, so we don't think that with with with I don't think with our data set we can say anything about other diseases, but I think the contributions of other diseases to excess mortality are very small when we talk about excess mortality, we're talking mainly about deaths influenced by greed, Dmitry, will we ever know the real number of deaths from hidden causes?
I don't think so, not very precisely, unfortunately, there are large areas in the world where, without reliable reporting of corporate cases or corporate debts or also mortality from all causes, eh. I'm particularly talking about developing countries, but I think we will know the number more precisely than now as the data comes in and many countries publish the data later. There are ways to monitor mortality, for example, by monitoring cemeteries that do not rely on official data and these estimates would come in the coming years and the number of total estimates will be more precise. Data scientist Dimitri Kobach and chief physician Uva Janssen.
It's great to have you both here. Thank you. Thank you. However, let's now take a look at how the Covet 19 pandemic is harming the fight against other diseases, in particular patients with chronic diseases at the Marine House clinic in Mainz, Germany. A thoracic surgeon has lost faith in his work and the world says it is definitely very painful for us when we are sitting at the tumor conference and realize that our skills can no longer help any of our patients when it is too advanced. It really hurts. Peter runs the thoracic surgery ward at the Marine House clinic.
He is seeing more and more patients with tumors that have grown to the point where they are no longer operable, everyone follows the same pattern, afraid of contracting the

coronavirus

, patients pass up routine checks while their tumors grow unseen, When they arrive at the clinic it is almost too late, no. A question about it drives you crazy: Where is my base? Because you know that a couple of months earlier you would have had a realistic chance of achieving a cure, which means that our therapies may now buy a patient some time, but we can no longer offer them the same time. prospect of a full recovery the marine house clinic is not the only hospital experiencing this sad trend a first documentary by the german television station ard surveyed the 20 clinics with the highest number of lung cancer patients. 71 percent of respondents said they were seeing an increase.
In serious cases, hospital safety officer and patient activist Route Heka sees political failures. It would have been better and highly commendable if the federal health minister had used his social media campaign to constantly raise awareness on this issue and also said go visit the hospitals again go to your gps if he had been exuding confidence he would have communicated to the general population the german ministry of health told ard journalists that it has addressed the situation many times that the minister himself spoke about it in may 2020 and february of this year as did the federal center for education health care, but that treatment and therapies are up to doctors to decide, they, for their part, expect to see an increasing number of serious cases emerging among people whose lung cancer has not yet been recognized. time for derek williams and a question from a viewer which won't be so easy to answer but it's something I would like to know if I lost my sense of smell or taste which my daughter had covered 19 months ago and still hasn't regained her sense of smell or taste, will they come?
The sense of smell and the sense of taste are closely intertwined and losing them is a very common symptom of Covet 19. Several studies have shown that loss of smell or changes in the sense of smell in particular are a problem for at least half . people who contract the disease probably most often it is the only symptom that develops in an otherwise asymptomatic patient, although there is still much we do not know about the causes of loss of taste, there is evidence indicating that it is likely that the sense of smell is lost. linked not to the virus infecting olfactory neurons that carry signals from the nose to the brain, but to its infecting cells called Sustainacular cells that play a supporting role in the lining of the nasal cavity, according to an overview of the studies That i Read loss of taste and loss of smell usually occurs very suddenly at the onset of cohoot 19 and often begins to return slowly after about three to five days.
Many patients had recovered almost completely census within a few weeks, but perhaps a significant percentage. Up to one in 20 people continue to have significant deficits, even many months later, so your daughter's condition is not that rare. If the sensory loss is persistent, many experts, including those we've had here on the coveted 19

special

recommend what's called olfactory training. It involves repeated targeted exposure to a specific sense daily and has helped many patients regain at least some sensory perception. Here's a look at some of the other 19 coveted stories making the news as totally undercover cases. In the United States they have reached almost 47 million, according to the latest data from Johns Hopkins University.
The death toll now exceeds three-quarters of a million. Vaccination rates have plateaued in parts of the states, indicating that it is coming. a difficult winter with cases and deaths. expected to rise, Netherlands set to step up its covert control measures amid rapid rise in infection rate At the time of recording, Dutch media cited sources close to the government as saying they were considering a lockdown partial two or three weeks under consideration of closing shops early and further limiting the size of public gatherings, and politicians and social media users have criticized carnival events in western Germany. Thousands of revelers gathered at the traditional gathering despite the coveted infection rate reaching a record in Germany.
Official events included the vaccine. certificate verifications, but many spontaneous meetings were held without restrictions of any kind. Thousands of Vietnamese football fans gathered after months of restrictions as their national team faced Japan in qualifiers for the 2022 world cup. Around 500 security personnel were on site to ensure fans followed the rules. Containment measures. the virus they had to show proof of vaccination, as well as a test result, unfortunately for Vietnamese fans, their team lost a zero to Japan.
