If in the country according to official statistics died an average of 1.6% of cases, in St. Petersburg the number of victims of the virus has already exceeded 6.1 per cent. It’s more, not only nationwide, but world average. Meanwhile, the Deputy of legislative Assembly of St. Petersburg Boris Vishnevsky received from the public CPS data, which, he believes, indicate true – and more serious – scale mortality from COVID-19 in the Northern capital.
Peter still can not get out of the top 5 cities with the highest number of infected. The number of infected falling, then rising again, but overall remains high – 172 patients confirmed the diagnosis yesterday.
We already wrote about the difficulties associated with diagnosing this infection in the Northern capital – not enough tests, some patients were waiting for test results for months. Also in St. Petersburg recorded almost 10-fold increase in community-acquired pneumonia. The greatest increase in the number of community-acquired pneumonia, according to city statistics, occurred in may 2020.
However, according to Smolny total of 1945 people died in the city since the beginning of the pandemic, although this figure is very impressive in relation to the total number of cases, the expert argues that it does not correspond to the real situation.
Deputy Boris Vishnevsky managed to obtain, he believes, the proof of correctness of the version from the… of St. Petersburg Rospotrebnadzor.
Boris Vishnevsky requested data on the number of requests from medical institutions related to the explanation of the procedure and the method of burial of the dead directly from confirmed coronavirus, and persons who died from community-acquired pneumonia and suspected COVID-19. It is known that the CPS reglamentary these rules and supervises their execution.
And found that as of the end of June (the Deputy sent information on June 25, 2020 year) of all such appeals was sent to 4937: April to may 2020 – 2533 people and 2404 from may to June.
“And (this I confirmed by chief physicians of clinics), the number corresponds exactly to the number of deaths. More than one treatment in one case of death, the hospital does not send – says Boris Vishnevsky. In turn, the CPS (I also confirmed the Ministry) does not register more than one treatment on one situation with the burial. Consequently, the number of calls to the CPS – this is the number of deaths for the corresponding period. Now judge for yourself how reliable official local statistics”.
– Number of requests for special status burials of the dead with COVID-19 – this is a fundamental indicator? asked: “MK” Boris Vishnevsky.
– Yes, or cowed or hospital stump��mania, or suspected kovid for such deaths requires special permission of the Federal service and applies a special procedure for the disposal. As far as I know, in Moscow all community-acquired pneumonia is diagnosed as kovid. At us in St.-Petersburg it is not.
– How you have ensured that the CPS has provided you with numbers, as distinct from official, and even on your letterhead?
– in order to obtain the response of the CPS, I had to send two requests and thirty times more to call. While responding deputies they naturally obliged.
But they knew that sending you such information refute all that was said about the fatality from the coronavirus in the city on the Neva before?
– the Committee on Health care of St. Petersburg almost immediately began to try to explain the discrepancy between the numbers of CPS accepted statistics, but, in my opinion, very unconvincing. They began to argue that included in official statistics only when the coronavirus is the main cause of death.
But is this correct – need to watch would survive this man, even with a chronic disease, if not ill Kovalam? However, even if you subtract the number of deaths they’re talking about when you were diagnosed with a coronavirus, and the patient died of other cause, there is still an additional 2,600 deaths on the date that they provided on June 25. The divergence of 2.6 times.
In St.-Petersburg for the whole period until the beginning of July was a depressing state of Affairs not only on mortality but also on morbidity. As this trend continued in the middle of summer?
– Sick still quite a lot. It seems to me that not all cases are diagnosed with the coronavirus even in some situations trying to put a completely different diagnosis, so as not to affect the overall statistics, they say, we have “passed the peak of disease and epidemic is on the decline”. But it is absolutely exact data on this question can give only the anatomic study.
the health Committee of St. Petersburg, commented on the response from the local CPS Deputy: these official figures represent the number of deaths that have novel coronavirus infection was the primary cause of death. Meanwhile, in the first half of 2020 at over 2400 people COVID – 19 have been identified, but they died from the effects of severe chronic diseases.
So, if a person dies from a heart attack or stroke, and coronavirus infection is the main and concomitant disease, he falls into the statistics of deaths from heart attack or stroke. If a person dies in an accident and he was posthumously found carriage COVID-19, the main cause of the accident. In that case, if a person’s lifetime was community acquired pneumonia and the clinical picture COVID-19, but the presence of coronavirus infection could not be confirmed in laboratory, it is buried by the same rules that patient with COVID-19.
So the question is, dead man “FROM” kovida or “With” kovida, remains one of the most fundamental in the history of the pandemic, especially Russian part of it.
Especially when you consider that even the immediate effects of coronavirus are hitting on all organs and systems of the human body, and can die, is already coming out of the hospital. Here is one case: the patient was discharged after Coveney diagnosed with pneumonia and died two weeks later from what was a clot. In his death certificate COVID-19 not appeared in any capacity, such persons do not fall at all in any statistics except the Registrar, which the whole country will be counted no earlier than the end of the year. When we realize how many “extra” people lost the country for 2020.
