Corona deaths in April ... neglected core facts

Last April was not an ordinary month for the history of the spread of the Corona virus compared to the previous three months, when the virus reached its climax, and a map of its spread in 214 countries and regions in the world became clear.

Here I have followed up on the daily reports broadcast by the organization on the state of the spread of the virus in the world, limited to the number of deaths caused by the virus, without infections because they do not represent the real numbers of the infected, but rather those who were examined by those who visited the competent medical authorities, in An attempt to find the most important indicators and conclusions that may shed a little light on the mystery surrounding the path of this virus.

It requires a careful review of its data and what it indicates - at a time when several countries have begun to gradually reduce the measures to prevent Corona - provoking more alarm and horror than the situation in the world may reach in light of the continuing exceptional measures, and in light of the talk about continuing to monitor the spread of the virus, and the possibility of return To tighten the procedures, in part or in full, until the end of the year and perhaps next year as well. The following are stops with the most prominent indicators and conclusions:

• The number of deaths has increased and their concentration with the change of sites,
  while we stand at the most important general indicators that were monitored in the daily reports of April:

- The death toll has increased dramatically to more than four times the total deaths of the previous three months.

Total deaths reached 18,238 deaths, with a daily average of 6081 deaths.

90% of all deaths are aged 65 and over.

About 86% of the deaths were from the United States and Europe only, and only 14% to the rest of the world in Asia, Africa and South America, in addition to Canada, Australia and New Zealand.

Only 6 countries - the United States, Italy, Spain, Germany, France and Britain - accounted for 74% of all deaths worldwide.

The United States ranked first in the number of deaths throughout the month, followed by Italy, Spain, France and Britain, after China and Iran were at the top of the list until March 5.

Total deaths in Europe were 11,156 deaths, of which 75% were for Italy, Spain, Germany, France and Britain combined.

Mortality in Eastern European countries was much lower than in Western European countries.

China has fallen to one death rate daily.

- The exceptional strict measures in the face of the virus did not play a large role in reducing the number of deaths in some countries, compared to those that did not take measures to confront the virus.

Sweden did not commit its people to extraordinary measures to confront the virus, yet it did not witness an exceptional rise in the number of deaths compared to other countries that took strict exceptional measures, so the number of deaths in Belgium reached 3 times the number of deaths in Sweden.

Some countries that have taken strict measures against the virus have succeeded in reducing the number of deaths by almost half, such as France, Italy, Spain, Turkey, and Iran, while others, such as the United States and Britain, have failed.

The number of deaths in Spain was almost three times the number of deaths in Germany, despite the fact that the population of Germany is about twice that of Spain.

- Some countries that are similar to the United States, Italy, Spain, France, and Britain in the level of progress, rates of income, life expectancy at birth, and measures to tackle the virus, but did not witness such a large number of deaths, such as Australia, New Zealand and Japan, where the total number of deaths in Australia reached 72 cases, and in New Zealand has 18 cases, and in Japan 373 cases.

Many countries in the world have competed in meeting the call to take strict and costly measures to confront the virus, without sufficient scientific justifications to do so, among them the Arab countries.

- The average mortality caused by Corona during the previous three months (February, March and April) is one million and 58 thousand injuries and about 75 thousand deaths per month, while the average monthly injuries and deaths caused by influenza last year reached 83 million and 83 thousand death. 

• Fundamental conclusions
  In light of the previous indicators, we can conclude the following:

The massive increase in the number of deaths in the United States and Europe to 86% of total deaths is extremely important, and an in-depth study is required to know the causes and common factors, especially the United States and the five major European countries that together occupy 74%. And it is very dangerous for the rest of the world, which has paid a huge price from its economic situation and its social and psychological life without the need for that.

It is not yet clear what factors influence the increase in the number of deaths, are they at the level of preventive measures or the availability of medical capabilities? Or in the population? Or in the level of income and progress and the average age at birth? Or in the weather? Mother....? And why were death rates in Eastern Europe much lower than in the higher-income and more-advanced western European countries?

Countries that do not suffer from high death rates can review their position on the strict measures that they have taken and return to normal life.

- If the political tension between the United States and China prevented the former from benefiting from the experience of the second in confronting the virus, and its success in reducing the death rate from 37 deaths per day to one per day; Why didn't European countries do this?

At the same time, China has not done what is morally necessary internationally, to transfer its experience in reducing mortality to one per day, to help affected countries reduce their number of deaths.

- The comparison between the monthly average of injuries and deaths caused by corona in the months (February, March and April), and the monthly average of injuries and deaths caused by influenza last year, showed that the talk that was raised earlier about the number of corona injuries and deaths was not accurate nor exceptional , And it caused a lot of unnecessary dismay and terror.

- There are many interactions between the Corona and influenza epidemics due to the great similarity between them, in the number of injuries, deaths and symptoms, and it is difficult - at least for now - to completely separate them.

• Arab countries ... misplaced decisions:

The share of the rest of the world except Europe and the United States was about 14% of total April deaths, or about 25,540 deaths, of which 1350 were from the share of the Arab world, or approximately 0.7% of the total deaths of the month, at an average of 45 deaths per day.

Like many other countries and regions in the Arab world, the Arab countries rushed to keep pace with China, the European countries, and the United States, and to impose strict, costly, exceptional measures on the economic, social, educational, mathematical, and psychological levels without sufficient justifications, driven by the state of panic and panic that afflicted them, and the subsequent acceleration in taking decisions Harsh without careful study in depth, and without the lowest level of joint Arab cooperation.

Algeria and Egypt topped the list of Arab countries in terms of the number of deaths due to corona in April, with a total of 415 cases for the first and 346 cases per second, followed by Saudi Arabia, Morocco and the United Arab Emirates, while the number in 10 other countries did not exceed 10 deaths in each.

Given the total number of deaths caused by the Corona virus, it equals 0.06% of the total deaths of Arab countries for the year 2019, which amounted to two million and 290 thousand deaths, at a rate of 6,274 deaths per day, according to the report of the United Nations on world deaths in 2019.

A quick comparison of the daily average of total deaths in all Arab countries (6,274 deaths) with the daily death rate caused by Corona (45 deaths), shows us the major imbalance in which the Arab countries fell to freeze public life, disrupting the economy, stopping education, and closing down places of worship and adopting a slogan. " Stay home, "thinking that these measures will reduce the spread of the virus and reduce the number of deaths caused by it.

The feeling of this imbalance that the Arab states have made in the exceptional and painful dealing in the face of Corona increases when the daily average of corona deaths is compared to the daily rate of annual deaths in each of the countries, as mentioned in the following table:

The table shows that the daily death rate due to corona in all Arab countries is less than 1% of the daily average of the total deaths that occur for various reasons, including infectious and non-infectious diseases, including influenza that is not different from corona. This is what really calls on all Arab countries to quickly review the difficult exceptional measures they have taken to confront Corona and return to normal life.

• Corona victims

- Who are the victims of Corona?

- And how do they die?

We have seen how the deaths caused by the virus last month were concentrated in Europe and the United States with up to about 90% of the total deaths caused by the world. Childbirth in these countries, and the increase in chronic diseases in the advanced age groups in them compared to other countries.

The European Center for Disease Prevention and Control (ECDC) stated that about 90% of the total number of people who died from the virus are those aged 65 years and over, and that 46% of them are 80 years of age or older.

This means that among 3,604 deaths a day in Europe last month; There are 3243 cases who are 65 and older, and only 361 cases are under 65 years old. If we apply this to the European countries with the highest daily mortality rate last month, namely Italy, Spain, France, Britain and Germany, we will find the result as shown in the following table:

Reports have indicated that the deceased suffer from weak immunity, and those with chronic infectious and non-infectious diseases, such as respiratory diseases, heart, brain, blood pressure, diabetes, cancer, obesity and the liver. These countries are among the highest income earners and the highest in life expectancy at birth in the world, reaching 81 years according to the United Nations report on world deaths for 2019, while we find it in the lowest income countries around 63 years.

The World Health Organization's "Aging and Health" report, in 2015, stated that a quarter of people between the ages of 70 and 85 are in Germany; They suffer from five or more chronic diseases simultaneously, and this can be measured on the rest of the higher countries in terms of income and life expectancy at birth.

According to the 2019 United Nations World Population Report, more than 65 million people are 65 and older in these five European countries, meaning that more than 16 million people suffer from five or more chronic diseases simultaneously, and are waiting for death At any given moment, as 77% of deaths in Europe and North America are 65 years or older, this percentage rises in Australia and New Zealand to 88%, while in West Asia and North Africa it drops to 53%.

According to the United Nations report on world deaths in 2019, the total number of deaths in the five European countries above last year was 3 million and 257 thousand deaths, including more than two and a half million, aged 65 years and over, at a rate of 6870 deaths per day, it is not surprising that Of this number 2770 deaths caused by the Corona virus. The same can be said of the United States of America, which has more than 53 million people.

However, this reason cannot be recognized alone, as there are other countries that fall within the same group of European countries above and the United States, in terms of progress, income level and life expectancy at birth, such as Australia, New Zealand, Japan and Canada, yet these rates of death have not been witnessed due to corona. More information is still needed to reach more comprehensive results that are closer to reality.

Facts about the role of the Corona virus in causing death:

Corona virus is very similar to influenza virus in its composition, methods of infection, symptoms and severity.

- Corona virus, like influenza, attacks the body in general, and in particular the respiratory system, and is more effective in people with weak immune systems and chronic diseases, and the stronger the immune system of the affected person, the greater his ability to conquer the virus.

- The virus is not specialized in a specific part of the body, it is not like the malaria virus, which is directed to the liver and kills red blood cells, and leads to the death of about half a million people annually, most of them children, and not like the TB virus that infects the lungs and led to the death of a million and a half million people a year 2018, and is considered one of the ten most important causes of death in the world, and Corona is not like the AIDS virus that specializes in destroying the immune system and has infected more than 35 million people, and other infectious viruses that kill about 5 million people annually.

The virus does not attack the liver, the kidneys, or the heart, but those who suffer from chronic infectious or non-infectious diseases in these devices are affected by the virus, especially if their immunity is weak.

About 250 million people suffer from asthma, which is a chronic non-infectious disease, and causes inflammation and narrowing of the airways of the lungs, and these are highly affected by influenza viruses and corona, especially if they suffer from a weak immune system.

- 90% of deaths caused by the virus are those aged 65 years and over, with chronic diseases and weak immune systems, and cases less than that age either because they suffer from chronic disease or more, or because they suffer from weak immune systems or For both reasons.

- Death figures do not categorically indicate that the cause of death is the Coruna virus. In many cases, the cause is the influenza virus, which killed more than 650,000 people last year with chronic respiratory diseases.

The Danish "Stensens Serum Institute" - and its membership in 24 European countries - stated that the number of deaths in these countries rose to about 150,000 in the period from mid-March to the end of last April, and it included those caused by corona and influenza. Of them, about 140,000 are 65 and older, or 93%.

Strengthening the immune system is the best way to combat corona, influenza and other epidemics and diseases.

It is not surprising that we find the majority of deaths calculated on corona - from the age group 65 years and over - from those with chronic diseases, which is the year of life that states that a person will leave her at some point for one reason or another, and according to the United Nations report on world deaths 2019, 57 % Of total deaths are those aged 65 years and over, i.e. more than 33 million people, at a rate of 91,200 deaths per day.

Whether the cause is corona, influenza or others, death occurs annually at great rates, and despite the gravity of these two viruses, they are not the most deadly cause of death in humans who lose about 160,000 people a day.

• The death phobia and the panic attack

The data published by the World Health Organization and the official specialized centers on the deaths caused by the Corona virus last April showed that it is not scientifically, medically and statistically important for the world’s fear and terror services to show us.

These devices are dispersed and operate with high efficiency around the clock, and they have succeeded in provoking this tremendous amount of dismay and terror among people because they are linked to death with the Corona virus, until the word "Corona" has become the objective equivalent of the word death, which people instinctively rush to flee from and from anything It may lead to him, even if he is in the closest relative, and even if it is just rumors and fabrications.

Corona has become - by these devices - means to people that death for them by the lookout, lies to them on the door handles and in cars and the doors of elevators, purchases, clothes and floors, and they have become a phobia of everything. Because of this phobia, they are more willing to do anything to protect them from the death that awaits them. How did they convince us of that? It is death, and who among us does not fear death?

It is a circle of artificial fear that entered the world, and he locked himself inside the walls of houses to escape death, which runs within and surrounds him before Corona and after Corona, and kidnaps daily by choosing about 160 thousand people. This enormous number has become meaningless to us because sight and hearing are filled with corona, for death is corona and corona is death, and nothing else deserves to be mentioned!

Who made this circle? Who is constantly feeding it? What does he want from that? These questions have become frequently asked these days, and many experts and interested parties have responded to them, and the information started to leak slowly, and the latest of which was the call to waive individual privacy in exchange for preserving personal safety and escaping death! Under the slogan "Your privacy or your safety?" This is what we will cover in an upcoming article, God willing.

I warned about this in my article published on Al-Jazeera Net on April 6 under the title "Corona ... Artificial panic", and I called on the leaders of countries to end the strict measures taken by their countries, and here I repeat my call for an urgent return to normalcy and spending To support the health system, strengthen the immune systems of citizens, and address the economic, social and psychological effects of this difficult experience.
