The authorities in Romania tell us that the large number of deaths caused by the infection with the Coronavirus in recent weeks have placed our country in the European and global charts in terms of the number of daily deaths caused by the virus.
"When will we all understand that the situation is as serious as possible?
We are 6th in the world and 2nd in Europe for COVID-19 deaths in the last 24 hours.
We have over 10.000 people hospitalized, of which almost 300 are minors.
More than 1.000 people are hospitalized in the ATI and are fighting together with the doctors for their lives.
Yes! The situation is very serious!
Romania has reached 6th place in the world and 2nd in Europe in terms of the number of deaths reported today.
Of the total number of deaths reported today in the world, deaths in Romania represent 5%.
Of the total number of deaths reported today in Europe, deaths in Romania represent 11.5%.
Let's normalize the numbers for context though!
Why? We are just comparing ourselves to states that have much more inhabitants.
Deaths/million people:
In Romania, 2,65 times more deaths than the European average were reported today.
In Romania, 6.34 times more deaths than the world average were reported today.
Number of cases/ million people:
In Romania, 2,2 times more new cases than the European average were reported today.
Today, 6 times more cases than the world average were reported in Romania.
