By Saturday, April 17, 140 million, 643 thousand people were infected with the coronavirus. 165 people around the world. 119 million 468 thousand were recovered. 712 patients.

In Poland, more than a year has passed since the first case of the coronavirus. The third wave is currently underway in our country and, according to Dr. Michał Sutkowski, is just beginning to end. The balance is, however, tragic: 2 million 675 thousand. 874 infections and 61 825 people died in the last 616 hours. 2 million 285 thousand recovered. 221 infected.

Actual pandemic casualties – no data available

A separate issue is the silent victims of the pandemic – patients who do not reach the hospital on time despite life-threatening conditions. They downplay the symptoms and then die at home. Not every person with a heart attack or stroke will go to the hospital – ambulances in Poland even arrive with a delay of several hours or circulate from hospital to hospital, because there are no places anywhere. Women who develop ovarian or breast cancer do not even know about it, because they drop out of control tests for fear of infection or only participate in teleportation. And without a stationary visit to the gynecologist, it is not possible to perform an ultrasound of the breast or ovaries. Neither can a cytology be done this way, which can indicate that the body is developing cervical cancer.

If we add to the official number of deaths of COVID-19 patients also those unknown numbers at the moment, it is very likely that we will achieve an even more alarming result. For now, however, there are no such calculations.
