Spain had 43,000 more deaths than normal during the peak two months of covid-19

Mortality rates in Spain were 55% higher than normal between March 10 and May 10 this year, the chief official of Spain's coronavirus health ministry said on Wednesday.

"This excess of 55% represents more than 43,000 deaths than expected," said Fernando Simón, director of the center for health emergencies in Spain. "That mortality focused on people 75 years of age or older," which represents 35,000 of the total excess number.

However, only 27,118 of those additional deaths are covid-19 related. A "significant part" of the more than 43,000 deaths between March 10 and May 10 "still cannot be directly connected to covid-19," said Simon.

"If we count the deaths with coronavirus and compare it with the excess, there are still a significant number of deaths that could be explained by various reasons," he added.

Among those reasons, there could be an inability or unwillingness to go to a hospital or obtain medical assistance during the peak of the coronavirus outbreak, Simon said.

"We may also have witnessed some complications in some health centers that did not promote survival for a longer period for some of our elderly," he added.

Several nursing homes in Spain reported unusually high death rates during the height of the pandemic, but most of the deceased were not screened for covid-19.

The numbers are emerging now, Simon said, because the country was under tight blockade during the height of the epidemic, and death notifications may have been delayed because registry workers were unable to go to their offices, leaving many deaths counted without detailed analysis.

Model projects 11,000 fewer coronavirus deaths in the US USA for August

By Arman Azad

A model of coronavirus that has been cited by the White House now projects that fewer people will die in the United States by August.

In an update Tuesday, the model revised its forecast to 132,000 deaths, which is 11,000 less than it projected a week ago.

USA on their website. A joint CDC forecast, based on multiple models, projects that US deaths. USA They will exceed 110,000 dead by June 13.

The White House cited the IHME model often in April, but some have criticized it for its assumptions and performance. The model has undergone several revisions in recent weeks.

As states began to reopen, IHME increased its forecast for the number of deaths in the US. Based in part on cell phone mobility data that showed people moving more. But the institute began revising its downward projections last week, saying there had been no expected increase in infections yet.

Dr. Christopher Murray, director of IHME, said this could be due to behavioral changes such as wearing masks. Since then, the institute has outlined its plan to collect data on how many Americans wear masks. However, it is unclear what caused the model's projections on Tuesday.
