This time, we will analyze the statistics related to Corona 19 deaths. Based on known information from the SBS data journalism team, the most common underlying diseases among the patients who died were hypertension and diabetes. Today (Day 6), the Centers for Disease Control first mentioned that an autopsy was needed for accurate analysis.

The average age of 43 people who died from Corona 19 at 5 pm today was 71, most of whom had underlying disease.

Including duplicates, 20 people with high blood pressure, 15 with diabetes, and 20 with 46.5% of deaths had two or more diseases, including high blood pressure or diabetes.

The correlation between the disease and coronavirus should be investigated further.

We also analyzed the period of death from corona19 confirmation.

After the confirmation of death, on average, four days passed from confirmation to death.

Authorities say older people missed treatment because they did not detect symptoms until they became fatal.

Mark Lipcich, a Harvard University professor who predicts that up to 60 percent of adults around the world are infected, says corona 19 can be fatal for elderly people with underlying conditions.

The Centers for Disease Control stated for the first time today that autopsy is needed for more accurate analysis and treatment.
