Scientists from all over the world are doing research on coronaviruses in many ways. Researchers are engaged in finding vaccines to combat this infection. Scientists in some countries claim that they are close to finding the vaccine and soon they will launch it in the market.
Meanwhile, a study was done on one crore 70 lakh people in England. This was a different study in itself. In this study, it was mentioned that what are the symptoms in coronavirus which act to kill a person. Apart from this, the people who were said to have died from corona during this period, whether they died due to coronavirus infection or other reasons behind their death were also responsible.
A detailed report has been published in this paper called The Paper, Nature. In this, the age, race, caste of people were studied separately. Apart from this, their financial condition was also taken into consideration, in fact, many times people die due to not getting things on time. This study also took into consideration the economic status of the deceased.
Uchechi Mitchell, a public health expert at the University of Illinois at Chicago, said that by now we have learned a lot about coronaviruses, many things are being repeated. However, he was not involved in this study. They say that such studies need to be done, they should also be given paper strength. So that other people can also know about it.
Researchers made up a group of de-identifiable data included in health records from around 40% of England’s population collected by the United Kingdom’s National Health Service. 17,278,392 adults were monitored over three months for the study. Of this, 10,926 died due to serious illnesses related to COVID-19.
Additionally, men with the virus aged 70 years or more were more likely to die from corona infection. Medical conditions such as obesity, diabetes, severe asthma, and compromised immunity were also associated with poor outcomes according to guidelines from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention in the United States. Researchers note that a person’s chances of dying are also tracked with socioeconomic factors such as poverty.
Avon Connor, an epidemiologist at Johns Hopkins University, said that looking at these patterns during these epidemics was a massive data collection. Charlier Barber, an epidemiologist at Drexel University, said the analysis identified as nonwhite tracked about 11% of patients. Researchers found that these individuals – particularly black and South Asians – had a higher risk of dying from COVID-19 than white patients. Some experts pointed out flaws in the researchers’ methodology
