The pharmacist emphasizes that all excess deaths are not just people with the confirmed coronavirus. We must also count those who decided to get sick at home, as well as those who suffered from other diseases, and did not receive help on time due to the crisis in the health care system. More deaths than the average may be with us long after the pandemic ends.
When the pandemic is over, we will continue to see the victims of the current health crisis, i.e. deaths after undetected cancers and untreated chronic diseases, in the statistics for years to come.
