Ukrainians pointed out the specifics of the spread and mortality of coronavirus and warned about the risk of infection of three quarters of the country's population. This was told by the anesthesiologist, professor Sergey Dubrov, according to the Telegram channel of the Ministry of Health..

According to him, mortality from COVID-19 is low in comparison with other diseases. Nevertheless, it is the coronavirus that can lead to a much higher number of victims than diseases with a high death rate..

Dubrov recalled that 1.9-2 percent of those infected with SARS-CoV-2 die.

However, this infection spreads much more easily than dangerous diseases such as tuberculosis.. This disease is detected in no more than seven percent of the population, while ten times more people can become infected with the coronavirus.

“If 70 percent of 40 million, that is, 30 million, fall ill, and two percent of them die, then, sorry, the number of deaths will exceed all the combined indicators of strokes, heart attacks, tuberculosis and other diseases, not in percentage terms, but in absolute number of people..
