Mumbai: Since the start of Pandemi, it has been known that those who have underlying medical conditions face a higher risk for severe disease and death.
However, non-proportional numbers are higher without the underlying health conditions die during the peak of the second wave in the city.
As EBBS waves, this worrying trend has started upside down.
In April and May 202, consider the worst period of the city in the second wave, death without the underlying comorbidity contributed 41% and 42% of all Covid deaths.
It concerned since the proportion of healthy individuals who surrendered to infection rarely pass 25-30% since the plague.
When their deaths without comorbidities rose, death related to comorbidity fell to 58% in April and May.
Civil data now shows that the trend has been reversed with death related to comorbidity once again taking into account the fatality of 75-80%.
Death among healthy individuals fell to 30% in June and 35% in July.
In August so far, 27% of deaths have been in individuals without unknown diseases, while 73% have occurred in those with comorbidity, such as diabetes, hypertension, obesity, hypothyroidism.
Dr Avinash Supe, who heads the Death Covid City Audit Committee, said the majority of deaths recorded now were among senior citizens with the underlying disease that had been hospitalized for weeks.
The city clocked an average of 30-35 weekly covid deaths, where almost 65% were from over 60 years.
With high city diabetes and hypertensive load, it is impossible for Covid’s death to be in vain, he said.
An intensive senior civilian said the city faced a short crisis of beds in April when more than 9,000 cases were detected every day.
“There may be delays in seeking care by healthy young individuals, or they may have struggled to find a bed on time, or maybe the severity of the disease itself can cause more death,” said the doctor.
He believes the Delta variant causes rapid development of young people.
“We have young and healthy patients who develop acute breathing pressure syndrome in the range of 3-4 days.
So even with a slight delay in reaching the hospital, these cases will have poor results,” Doctor added.
At Sevenhills Hospital in Andheri, who recorded 3-5 deaths every day, the trend was proven.
Dean Dr.
Balakrishna Adsul said they had recorded many deaths in the younger age group in May, but now mortality is once again concentrated in parents.
“In the rare death we see in young patients now, the delay is the biggest reason.
They are not tested until 9 or 10 of the onset of symptoms.
Some of the waste one or two days do the HRCT scan before doing the RT-PCR test,” he said.
Sevenhills, he said, especially received patients who had spent their financial capabilities after spending a few days in a private hospital, he said.
