Covid-19 Mortality

As per the research, unvaccinated individuals infected with the virus in 2019 and 2020 are at a notably higher risk of experiencing a heart attack or stroke, with this risk lasting for up to three years after infection.

Experts measured the number of people who had died as a direct or indirect result of Covid and found the excess mortality rate was still higher than pre-pandemic levels.

Calling it a "gross and misleading overestimate", the centre on Saturday refuted claims of excess mortality during the Covid-19 pandemic in India, as stated in a study led by Indian-origin researchers from Oxford University.

While the mortality rate was 0.6 per cent for Covid-19, Mr Redfield said the mortality for the bird flu would probably be ''somewhere between 25 and 50 per cent.''

The US maternal mortality rate in 2022 returned to the same level as two years prior, after a spike in 2021 amid the Covid-19 pandemic, health authorities announced Thursday.

The research, published recently in the journal PLOS One, determined the impact of COVID-19 vaccination on mortality following acute myocardial infarction (AMI) or heart attack.

The study on factors related to the post-discharge mortality among hospitalized COVID patients study by ICMR revealed that vaccination before an infection provided 60% protection against post-discharge deaths.

The US maternal mortality rate surged in 2021, the second year of the Covid-19 pandemic, with Black women more than twice as likely to die than white women.

China said on Saturday that nearly 60,000 people with COVID-19 had died in hospital since it abandoned its zero-COVID policy last month.

Themathematical modeling approach adopted by the WHO to project excess mortality estimates related to COVID-19 suffers from erroneous assumptions and is unscientific, the government informed Parliament on Tuesday.

COVID-19 vaccines prevented over 42 lakh potential deaths in India in 2021, said a study published in The Lancet Infectious Diseases journal, which based its findings on estimates of "excess" mortalities in the country during the pandemic.

WHO also said they chose the mathematical model as many countries "still lack capacity for reliable mortality surveillance and therefore do not collect and generate the data needed to calculate excess mortality".

India on Saturday questioned the WHO's methodology to estimate COVID-19 mortalities in the country, saying using such a mathematical modelling cannot be applied to estimate the death figures for such a vast nation of geographical size and population.

The Union health ministry on Thursday dismissed media reports based on a published research paper alleging that India's COVID-19 mortality count is much higher than the official figure, which is "fallacious and completely inaccurate".

The COVID-19 pandemic led to biggest decrease in life expectancy since the World War II, and wiped out years of progress on mortality, according to a study published on Monday by the University of Oxford.
