Almost every country in the list of victims of coronavirus are doctors. Unfortunately, it is inevitable. But what if we compare the ratio of deaths of citizens for the deceased medical staff in the countries holding the leading positions in incidence COVID-19? Can it give something to the understanding of the General statistics of mortality in Russia?

“we Have the best doctors, so sick, and die a little” – retort our officials.

Yes, the doctors. And their names, unlike the others, not to hide. In the national “book of remembrance” at the moment (26.05.2020) 303 written the names of the victims on duty health workers, the Ministry of health of the Russian Federation today officially confirmed 101 cases leading to death of doctors.

Those who are in the list memory, worked in the “red zone” or in an ambulance, was in gear, had protection. And, nevertheless, died.

And as with mortality medical situation in other countries-the leaders in cowed?

unfortunately, in open sources to find data is not managed at all. Information on Brazil, for example, no. In Germany (8309 dead) no doctor passed away. “We have sent home all who are at risk. Compensation for the death of a health care provider about 3.5 million euros. However, many ill – about 5 thousand the medical staff, when the total number of infected in 180 thousand”, – told the German physicians.

so, take the top four leaders of incidence where known the number of deceased physicians: Italy, USA, UK, Russia.

All the data from 26 may 2020-year at the time of writing – since the numbers change all the time.

ITALY: Just died: 32 877. Doctors of which: 152. That is 0.46% of the total number of deaths

USA: Total: 99 807. Physicians: 389. 0.38 percent.

UK: Total: 36 996. Doctors: 180. Just 0.48%.

Get the total number of dead citizens to the dead doctors kovid leaders varies within less than half a percent.

RUSSIAN: Just officially died: 3 807 people. Of them doctors and medical workers according to the health Ministry of the Russian Federation – 101 people. TOTAL: 2,65 %

That is, our doctors die six times more than the rest of the world. If we consider all the names from the General list memory 303, the difference between the mortality of doctors in different countries, increasing to 15 times.

the impression Is that Russian physicians treating the coronavirus with his bare hands, without remedies. Then why none of the officials still this does not answer?

It’s just incredible some of the numbers. Yes, there are blazing Dagestan.

Yes, everywhere different health systems, treatment approaches to security, there may be other factors (isolation and quarantine) that also could affect the level of disease and mortality, and because of this, as we are assured, too, can be RA��the difference in the final numbers. But the safety standard of physicians in principle, the same everywhere.

despite the fact that the General mortality of all cases in Russia, less than one percent.

a Simple mathematical logic dictates – if we imagine that Russia differs little from the leaders kovida and mortality of protected doctors from the total number of deaths of patients is approximately the same at 0.4 %, then, based only on official data, the proportion is as follows.

101 doctor of 0.4 %. X dead people – 100 %. To solve the proportion the reader will not be difficult.

101 or 186?

Until recently, the Ministry of health officially published figures of trade losses. While not openly voiced, that in the same Dagestan died more than 40 physicians.

But people’s memorial list of the memory of the dead, compiled by colleagues and friends, is not the only source of information about the deceased personnel.

Anyone can go to this website and send the form: name of the deceased, where they worked, how to contact the person, confirming information, link to sources (media, post on social networks)

a Certain drawback of the list is that for what would go in it, was supposed to be only two points a) the person is – a doctor b) a person has to die during the outbreak from causes connected with COVID-19.

Journalists, media zones tried to clarify the accuracy of the data people who were introduced into it. And created your list. Him at the time of inspection (19 may) of the 255 included 186 people.

“Our task was to ensure that the dead doctors do exist — in list does not throw fakes, these physicians worked with coronavirus sick to death and had symptoms typical of coronavirus, – says Dmitry Treschanin, editor of the media zones.

Immediately excluded 19 cases: six doctors from other countries, seven doctors, not practicing during a pandemic, and six deaths not directly related to the contamination.

“overall, we rather trust the memory list, but as journalists had no right not to verify the data,” emphasizes the Treschanin.

Most of the information about deceased doctors specified official sources: about the dead medical workers said the heads of regions reported by the operational headquarters, regional Ministry of health and hospitals. 30 evidence was found in the social networks. In 27 cases of death colleagues reported the doctors, in 17 cases — media, 12 — relatives and friends.

“From the resulting list we excluded quite a bit of names: for example, two doctors who fell from a window under mysterious circumstances and one doctor, who died from overwork, – says Dmitry Treschanin. – Dozens more we haven’t found in social media or in official sources: it does not mean that such people do not exist, just don’t have the social network under his own name and photo. But in your calculation are the names we didn’t include, too.”

Why such a difference in the calculations?

the fact that many employees in hospitals, prove the dead from coronavirus, are not registered among health care workers. And that’s why their families can’t count on Putin’s posthumous payment of 2.7 million rubles.

“MK” wrote, as St. Petersburg’s nurse, 54-year-old Julia Eselevich, who worked to the last, and died from the coronavirus, that was confirmed post-mortem diagnosis was decorated in his hospital as a cleaner.

Her daughter says, how are things with monetary payments actually:

“In the news famously written that the families of the victims from the coronavirus, health-care workers rely payments. Not some pathetic, and millions.

I drew two lawyers acted in the team with them.”

media reports, the girl who is currently in Thailand and does not have the physical ability to return home, found that her mother, working as a nurse, was decorated as a cleaner. “My mom really wanted to get this job and agreed to these terms. And show me one person in Russia whose labor law was never broken”.

Confirm that Julia performed the duties of a nurse, by law, must now her employer. That’s only if he needed it?

On the advice of lawyers, the daughter filed a petition to the health Committee that she was given a certificate of recognition mother of the victim while providing care to patients with coronavirus.

the Committee without explanation forwarded her request to the SMRC of Traumatology and Orthopedics named. R. R. Vreden, that is, directly to the employer. There is no answer.

in Parallel, Xenia heard from journalists and lawyers that the Medical center is not subject to the Decree of the government of St. Petersburg No. 247 dated April 28, 2020, which regulates the order and conditions of granting of a lump sum payment to medical workers of public health institutions of St. Petersburg suffered as a result of providing care to patients with coronaviruses infection, and their families. And works according to the presidential Decree 313 of may 6, 2020, which States that the right to compensation is not at the whole family, as only spouse and children under 23 years of age with disabilities.

“Parents were divorced, and I’m 27, and I’m fine”, she summed up Xenia Janulewicz on his Facebook page.

and so it is likely that for each dead medical officials can go for a living – just not to pay.
