原來比利時死亡率高係因爲計埋療養院死亡人數,包括嗰啲有症狀但未確診
About 95% of Covid-19 deaths in elderly care homes haven’t been diagnosed, yet Belgium makes the decision to register them based on the symptoms shown and who the people have been in contact with. The goal is to get a clearer picture of the outbreak and better target hot spots.
比利時最近每日死亡人數比以往翻一番:
In Belgium, just over 300 people normally die every day, but this year, it’s jumped to nearly 600.
實際上醫院無爆煲,43%ICU病床有位:
According to Belgian officials, the reason for the grisly figures isn’t overwhelmed hospitals -- 43% of intensive-care beds were vacant even at the peak of the crisis -- but the country’s bureaucratic rigor.
其他地方療養院都死咗好多人:
France: When the country reported data from some nursing homes for the first time in early April, those fatalities were almost double the number of people that died in hospitals.
Last week, Spain had to adjust its historical data after Catalonia started including people who had symptoms but didn’t test positive. This week a local radio broadcaster reported that more than 6,800 elderly died in Spanish nursing homes with symptoms but weren’t recorded in official data.
