Global recorded more than 4.4 million deaths for Covid-19 but a recent study puts doubt about how to calculate actual damage.

According to the report announced in late June's Hebrew University research team in Israel, the actual estimate of up to 10 million deaths worldwide by Covid-19, not more than 4.4 million cases today

In order to calculate the number of deaths outside the statistics, the team compares the total number of deaths in a country during a period like a pandemic with average mortality data in previous years.

Bury the Covid-19 victim at the cemetery in Bekasi, Indonesia, on August 6.

Since then, they discovered in some of the most affected countries such as Peru, Ecuador, Bolivia and Mexico, the actual death figure was 50% higher than expected during the pandemic period.

Many countries report exactly the number of deaths by Covid-19 but some countries report less.

Professor Leo Yee Sin, Executive Director of the National Center for Singapore Infectious Disease, said the statistical death figure is another way to assess the true impact of epidemics that cannot argue, that

In addition to understanding the characteristics and origin of the pathogen, it is necessary to explain and apply this calculation and data in the right circumstances, Leo speaks.

Professor John Middleton, Chairman of the European Association of Public Health Schools (Aspher), has summarized the risks of non-statistics full of deaths due to Covid-19.

When we underestimate the severity of the pandemic, it will affect the way a pandemic control country, while making it difficult to determine whether the appropriate control strategy, Middleton said.

Basically, all lives, including dead people, are very important, the lack of exact statistics The actual number of realities is unfair with unable statistics, Tarik Jasarevic, spokesman for the World Health Organization

Jasarevic said that ensuring that the exact number is important to assess the victims of the reactions, and plays a key role in developing mortality minimization strategies depending on the circumstances and in the future

When the world promotes fair strength in vaccines, demand reflects the impact of pandemic with timely and reliable data is very important, he said.

Dr. Henrique Lopes, the Science Coordinator of the Community Health Research Project at Portuguese Catholic University, mentioning Russia as an example of high vaccine resistance due to non-main Covid-19 data

I guess about 70% of the Russian population refused to vaccinate.

He also pointed out that fake news was spreading widely reduced the importance of the vaccine program as a result of low calculation of actual deaths due to Covid-19.

The number of deaths due to Covid-19 is estimated in some countries up to 19h on August 22 according to the synthetic data of Straits Times.

Lopes said that the number of deaths exceeding the pandemic may be due to the causes of unqualified Covid-19 test capacity, high test costs prevent people in poorer countries to test, death

If the death figure officially recorded about 4 million, the real figure was probably about 10 million, Lopes said.

So how to accurately evaluate data about Covid-19.

She said the countries may have charged a lack of death as India, so statistics by combining two strategies.

However, active monitoring can apply to the testing rate on population clusters at a fixed time, which helps to fully record clinical manifestations, including non-symptoms.
