Death 率 in hospitals HALVES: いっそう少なく than 15% of 患者s with coronavirus are now passing away on 区s... unlike during the first wave, new 人物／姿／数字s 明らかにする／漏らす

• e-mail

より小数の than 15 per cent of 患者s 認める to hospital with Covid-19 since the beginning of September have died from the 病気.

That 人物／姿／数字 is half the death 率 in the pandemic’s first wave in the spring.

Separate 人物／姿／数字s 示唆する the death 率 for 患者s who needed 集中的な care has fallen even その上の ? from 39.3 per cent up to August 31 to 11.6 per cent since then.?

The 劇の 落ちるs were 明らかにする／漏らすd yesterday in an 分析 by the Health Service 定期刊行物. Doctors say there are several factors are behind the 改良.

より小数の than 15 per cent of 患者s 認める to hospital with Covid-19 since the beginning of September have died from the 病気. A 臨床の staff member is seen caring?for a 患者 at the 集中的な Care 部隊 at 王室の Papworth Hospital in Cambridge in May

More 普及した 実験（する）ing means that most 患者s are 診断するd and begin their 治療 at an earlier 行う／開催する／段階.?

治療s have 改善するd, with より小数の 患者s 存在 ventilated and more 存在 given the 効果的な ‘CPAP’ oxygen 圧力 masks to keep their 航空路s open. There are also 効果的な life-saving 麻薬s such as dexamethasone.

But another 批判的な factor may be that ‘many of the most 攻撃を受けやすい people succumbed to the ウイルス in the first wave’, the 報告（する）／憶測 says. 一方／合間, the 攻撃を受けやすい and 年輩の 患者s are 存在 better 保護物，者d.

Mohammed Munavvar, 顧問 chest 内科医 and 大統領，／社長 of the British Thoracic Society, said: ‘I think the difference between springtime and now is that we are better 知らせるd and better 用意が出来ている.’

Dr Alison Pittard, dean of the Faculty of 集中的な Care 薬／医学, said the 減ずるd death 率s for 集中的な care 部隊s may be ‘skewed’ because almost half of those 認める since September 1 are still there.

The Health Service 定期刊行物 also 明らかにする／漏らすd that a 重要な 手段 of the 有効性 of 癌 diagnosis has gone into 逆転する in dozens of areas. Since 2014, the NHS began a 運動 to 削減（する） the 割合 of 癌s first 選ぶd up in A&E.

Six years ago, the 人物／姿／数字 stood at over 20 per cent, but by 2019, this had fallen to 18.8 per cent, 示すing that GPs were getting better at spotting which 患者s needed referral.

But this year, the 百分率 of A&E 診断するs has 急に上がるd in some areas ? to levels even higher than in 2014. Warwickshire, West Birmingham, Blackburn and Oldham have seen rises of between 2.4 and 4 百分率 points over the 2014 level.

In North East Lincolnshire, the 割合 of 癌s 診断するd in A&Es rose from 15.9 per cent in 2014 to 21.3 per cent.

どこかよそで, a 熟考する／考慮する published in the 公式発表 of the World Health Organisation 示唆するd that one in every 2,000 under-70s who 契約 Covid are killed by it.?

The 見積（る）, calculated by Dr John Ioannidis, an epidemiologist at Stanford University in the US, would make Covid half as dangerous as the flu, which kill s 概略で 0.1 per cent of those it 感染させるs.

Most scientists reckon that Covid kills between 0.5 per cent and 1 per cent of 患者s.

But the true 人物／姿／数字 has never been definitively 設立するd.

Dr Ioannidis arrived at his 人物／姿／数字 by pooling the results of 61 ‘seroprevalence’ 熟考する／考慮するs, which are based on antibody 実験（する）s to identify those who have 契約d the ウイルス in the past.

He calculated an 感染-fatality 割合 of 0.27 per cent across all age groups and all 場所s ? although in many areas this would be far lower.

And if over-70s are 除去するd from the 人物／姿／数字s that 落ちるs to 0.05 per cent, he said. Some 38million globally have now 実験（する）d 肯定的な for Covid. Dr Ioannidis 見積（る）s the true 人物／姿／数字 is closer to half a billion, with the 大多数 never realising they are ill.

But his 見積（る） was last night criticised by other scientists, who said he used 人物／姿／数字s from their 熟考する／考慮するs incorrectly.

Dr Ioannidis, a 一貫した critic of lockdown 政策s, called for 制限s to be 除去するd and the 攻撃を受けやすい 保護するd.

He wrote: ‘Most 場所s probably have an 感染 fatality 率 いっそう少なく than 0.20 per cent and with appropriate, 正確な 非，不，無-pharmacological 対策 that selectively try to 保護する high-危険 攻撃を受けやすい 全住民s and settings, the 感染 fatality 率 may be brought even lower.’

His paper 追加するs to calls for far more 焦点（を合わせる）d 制限s, in which most people are 許すd to return to normality while the 攻撃を受けやすい are 保護物，者d.

But Gideon Meyerowitz-Katz of the University of Wollongong, Australia, whose own work was 特記する／引用するd by Dr Ioannidi, said the 熟考する／考慮する was 欠陥d. He said the low fatality 人物／姿／数字 was ‘簡単に a consequence of the low 質 of the review itself and has very little to do with when the 見積（る）s were made’.

‘Interestingly, Ioannidis 特記する／引用するs our 熟考する／考慮する but gets the numbers wrong,’ he said.
