London-Sana
A study conducted by researchers at New York University concluded that the medical expenses for treatment of the Corona virus will cost the health sector in the United States about 654 billion dollars.
The study, published by the British Daily Mail today, showed that "the average cost of treatment for one infected with Corona virus is more than $ 3,000, which is 4 times higher than the cost of treatment for regular influenza and 5 times compared to treatment of pertussis."
And the study assumes that: “If 80 percent of Americans become infected taking into account other medical costs such as respirators, lung damage and other organs, the country may face a bill of $ 654 billion.”
"Bruce Ye Lee, professor of health policy and management at New York City University and lead the study, confirmed that" some people still say that the Coruna virus is like the flu, and some say it is like a cold. "
He added: “On the contrary, the treatment of the Corona virus is much more expensive than the flu in terms of costs.” He pointed out that “the costs extend beyond the infection and will continue after the infection ends.”
