The coronavirus pandemic is the deadliest in Hungary?

Change language:

According to today’s data, since the outbreak of the coronavirus, 26,000 people have officially died in Hungary due to the disease. With this, we have overtaken the Czech Republic in terms of population-related mortality, so the epidemic is now the deadliest in our country.

Although Portfolio highlights that data comparison is hampered by methodological problems, it is certain that in light of the government’s formal determination of success rates in human lives, tackling the epidemic can hardly be called a triumph. Let’s see the newest statistics:

Fully 214 patients, generally elderly with co-morbidities, died over the past 24 hours, while 3,607 new infections were registered, koronavirus.gov.hu said.

So far 3,419,450 people have received a first jab, while 1,453,300 have been fully vaccinated.

The number of active infections stands at 265,374, while hospitals are caring for 7,507 Covid patients, 876 of whom need respiratory assistance.

There are 41,857 people in official quarantine, while 5,205,923 tests have been officially carried out.

Since the first outbreak, 760,967 infections have been registered, while fatalities have risen to 26,001. Fully 469,592 people have made a recovery.

So far, most infections have been registered in Budapest and Pest County, followed by the counties of Borsod-Abaúj-Zemplén, Győr-Moson-Sopron and Hajdú-Bihar.

The government wants to vaccinate everybody above 45

GPs received two emails about the new program from the National Health Insurance Fund of Hungary on Tuesday. Their content is that since large quantities of vaccines are expected to arrive in Hungary at the end of April, the government plans to inoculate everybody above 45 in only ten days.

  1. FACT: Hungary LEADS THE WORLD in COVID DEATHS PER MILLION POPULATION. The World… That’s… Everyone.

    Citizens (elderly and those with pre-existing conditions, of course) are currently DYING AT THE RATE OF 8 PER HOUR. A decent size plane, full of people, A DAY. Dead. Of Covid. In Hungary.

    YES – doing well on vaccine roll out. But overall???

  2. The headline doesn’t need a question. The numbers are clear, and Hungary has the highest death rate per capita in the world. In one week, this will be true even taking micro-states into account. The difference in methodology used per country is not an excused as we cannot measure the effect. It could happen that after adjusting numbers to methodology and using fully transparent counting systems, Hungary has even double numbers than the once published.
    So, in a nutshell: yes, Hungary has the highest normalized mortality rate in the world due to COVID.

  3. Hungarian Statistics for comparison in the EU are:
    Number of vaccinations given – 9th place
    Fully vaccinated – 4th place
    Number of deaths per 100,000 – 2nd place

    The government always implies we are in first place for vaccination rollout. They hope no one educates themselves on non biased news articles outside these borders. As of 10 April, the third phase tests of Sinopharm have never been published by the Chinese. That was in the Lancet. This government shows no transparency in anything they do.

  4. Highest death rate per capita due to: the general poor health of citizens, lack of healthcare infrastructure, lack of healthcare staff, lack of healthcare Ministry, lack of transparency, poor and opaque decision making, people not following the rules, no testing, prioritizing economy over health, not reacting on warnings etc…

  5. Victor Orban and His Government – Failing to LISTEN – to Scientific Medical Advice, the black hole continues to worsen for Hungary.
    Hungary – the World Experts in the Fields of Science, on what is occurring in the novel virus pandemic continue their – ADVICE – that Hungary – needs an IMMUNIZATION – that’s by (2) two injections – to safeguard itself against this still ravaging and deadly novel virus of – 80% – of its 9.6 million population.
    We open the terraces and other planed openings – Dangerous.
    The Chinese “conglomeration” of vaccine greatly refused by vast numbers of Hungarians and World Expert authorities repetitive that it has just a 50% success rate of human immunization – DANGEROUS.
    The Government want to open up the country – relax laws ?
    History never Lies nor do FACTUAL Medical Statistics.
    Economics over Humanity / lives of people.
    Government that is a “ship without a rudder.”
