British scientists commented on the lethality of coronavirus.
Researchers from the UK conducted a series of observations during which they found that 25% of patients who died during COVID-19 actually died from another cause. As it became known, the cause of death of patients could be concomitant diseases, infections and other factors, according to the Daily Mail.
“In England and Wales, in the first week, 922 death certificates of the dead indicated covid, but in 210 cases it was not the main cause of death. That is, 23% of those who died before death had a coronavirus, although it did not cause death. At the same time, it is possible that covid was one of the contributing factors, ”the scientists commented.
It is noted that “omicron” is now hosting in the UK, but according to scientists, it is less and less likely to lead to a severe course of the disease, as well as to death.
