Regarding India, where the infection of the new coronavirus is rapidly spreading, experts said this month that 70% of the 100 people who died in the capital city of New Delhi were not vaccinated, and those who have been vaccinated will die. It is pointed out that the vaccine can be expected to be effective in preventing the aggravation because the ratio is low.
The Government of India announced on the 14th that the number of newly infected people per day was 264,202, exceeding 200,000 for the second consecutive day.
In addition, the total number of infected people with Omicron strain is 5753.
In India, the number of infected people is increasing rapidly, especially in urban areas, but so far, the medical system is not in a tight state.
Meanwhile, Arun Gupta, a doctor and chairman of the New Delhi Medical Council, told NHK on the 14th that 70 out of 97 people who died of a new coronavirus infection during the four days from 9th to 12th of this month. According to the analysis, 19 people who had not been vaccinated and died after one vaccination and 8 people who died after two vaccinations.
"This result shows that the vaccine can be expected to help prevent aggravation. Most people die in the elderly and those with underlying illnesses. Patients with Omicron strains are hospitalized compared to Delta strains," said Gupta. I have the impression that the period is short. "
