The course of the pandemic in Poland

Poland has not dealt with the pandemic
Poland was in the forefront of European countries in terms of excess deaths caused by the COVID-19 pandemic. Excess mortality shows the number of deaths recorded in a given country during a pandemic, which is above the average over the past few years. This includes, inter alia, deaths caused by the failure of the normal functioning of the health care system.
Over 526 million cases of coronavirus-related cases have been registered worldwide, and more than 6,2 million people suffering from COVID-19 have died. Scientists estimate, however, that the number of deaths caused by the pandemic is several times greater, including due to the fact that the healthcare system did not function as usual.
Data published by Eurostat show that during the pandemic more than 205 people died in Poland. people more than the average in recent years.
In the case of the analyzed numbers, the baseline was the period from 2016 to 2019, when in Poland an average of 404 died of various causes each year. people. The COVID-2020 pandemic broke out in the first months of 19.
According to official Polish statistics, over 116 have died in our country. people infected with the coronavirus, but Eurostat shows that there were as many as 205 excess deaths. Our excess mortality rate in 2020-22 was therefore 22,6%. In this respect, only Bulgaria fares worse in Europe, with a rate of 26,5%.
In Poland, the three waves took their toll the most — the most severe effect was the one from November 2020, when the excess death rate in our country was as high as 97%. In April 2021, the ratio decreased to 65,3%, and in December 2021 it oscillated around 70%. Each time it was several times more than the European average.
Former Minister of Health: Some of my decisions were wrong
At the time of the outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic in Poland, Łukasz Szumowski, a cardiologist and electrophysiologist, was the minister of health. It was he who conveyed to Poles the government’s decisions regarding the country’s strategy to fight the new and unknown threat, which was the coronavirus. As the head of the ministry, he was the initiator of the first and toughest lockdown, he was responsible for making and announcing decisions concerning, inter alia, introducing covid restrictions.
Today he is the director of the National Institute of Cardiology and evaluates the activities of that time from a distance. – The decisions I made then were based on the best possible data – he says in an interview with Rynek Zdrowia.
Asked whether he regretted the decisions made during the first wave of coronavirus infections, Szumowski replied that he had become used to various assessments of its actions. —I had to make decisions under extremely difficult conditions. Today I am bearing the consequences – he said, adding that he did not feel like a loser.
– Many things have been done well. Even lockdown. He was brutal, yes, but he kept us from the first wave. It was the best way out at the time. Let us remember that no one had a sufficient number of tests, laboratories or equipment at that time. There were also no places to isolate patients. If we had allowed ourselves to start the first wave then, even as it was the case in other countries, the victims would certainly have been several hundred thousand. more – believes the former Minister of Health.
The doctor referred, inter alia, to to the controversial decision to close forests and parks, which, according to the government, were one of the places where outbreaks of new diseases could appear. – It was not the right decision, but it did not endanger people’s lives – he said.
He added that most of the actions were hit after all, and thanks to them “many lives were saved – sometimes at a huge, multi-billion cost”. He also stressed that all decisions were consulted with representatives of other ministries and widely discussed at meetings of the crisis management team.
