for The past few weekends have been 142 deaths have been registered, which is the total number of 431 causes. The most recent fatal victim was only 30 years old, and the oldest is 104. More than nine out of ten of the deceased were over 65 years of age, but is in intensive care, they see a lot of younger people out there really are. Persons from 40 to 50 years old who have no history, but that is in danger of death are due to a lack of oxygen,” says spoedarts Ignace Demeyer, the onze-Lieve-vrouw hospital in Aalst, belgium.

According to preliminary data from the university hospital of Leuven, with four out of ten patients in intensive care were younger than 60 years of age. One out of every ten are even under the age of 40. Younger patients are just as sick as the older one, but it does have a higher chance for it to come out.

Afplatten

It came out over the past weekend, 1.204 hospitalizations among which 177 in intensive care. This brings the total branches in 867 patients. The hospitals will continue to have adequate capacity for less than half of 2.081 beds in intensive care are very busy. Thus, there is still a lot of space, but the question is how long that will last without the need for additional beds to be opened. “It’s hard to tell,” says the virologist is in order: Steven Van Gucht from the Sciensano, the institute for public health. “The numbers are still rising, but with the strength of the epidemic is on the decline. We can see that the slope of the afplatten it is.”

“with The growth rate, and the extent to which the epidemic is expanding, it was on the 15th of march, at 0.25. So far, this is 0,16. This figure is quite technical, but it boils down to the fact that the epidemic in mid-march, it grew by 25%. After three to four days is you will then be almost a doubling of the number of cases. Since the 15th of march, after the taking of the action, it takes that number down. This is not to say that the number of cases is no longer increasing, but rather that it is not as fast-growing. We hope that We can increase further delay, and at the same time, in the hospital, fighting for his life.”

New outbreaks

The numbers will be here for a while will continue to rise and every day new patients are added. Beds in intensive care and will gradually be filled in on the west. We have a capacity of nearly 2.100 beds and, according to the predictions, that will be enough, but it could be that we have all the beds are in need of. The most important thing is not to wannéér of the peak, and that we are very, very slow to the peak is like that, so we can make our hospitals will not be overburdened.”

“it is Only when the peak has been reached, we will be able to estimate how long the epidemic will last. However, even if we have the current outbreak under control, we are not yet out of the danger zone. There are new outbreaks are possible, and new measures may be required. Then it starts all over again. We will have a lot of time in a coronawereld life. The pressure will remain in place until a vaccine is found, or until the majority of the population is immune. According to epidemiologists, 70% of the population to be immune before the pressure is reduced.” Yesterday, 296 coronapatiënten to leave the hospital, what is their total 1.359 brings with it.
