As the corona19 outbreak passed one year, a study found that about 40,000 children in the United States lost one of their parents due to Corona 19.

On the 5th, the research result of Professor Rachel Kidman’s research team at Stony Brook University was published in the journal’JAMA Pediatrics’.

The research team estimated that about 40,000 children (ages 0-17) in the U.S. had lost at least one of their parents until last February through their own statistical model using the corona19 mortality rate and demographics.

According to the research team’s statistical model, if one patient dies from Corona 19, 0.078 children will lose their parents. The research team also explained that the proportion of children who lost their parents increased from 17.5% to 20.2% compared to the average year.

As a result of the analysis, as of February, the number of US children who lost at least one of their parents was 37,337. Of these, 9,863 children under the age of 10 were estimated to be 27,474 children between the ages of 10 and 17.

The research team analyzed that the number of children who lost their parents due to the effects of Corona 19 will increase to 43,027 when considering other corona 19-related excess deaths, such as deaths due to medical gaps, etc., although not infected with Corona 19.

In addition, if the number of COVID-19 deaths in the U.S. increases to 1.5 million in the future, the number of children who lose their parents will increase to 116,000, according to the research team.

“To address the health, education, and economic impact of COVID-19 on children, a major national reform is needed. Children who have lost their parents need social support. Such support is a serious psychological outcome that can occur to children,” the research team said. You can prevent the problem.

According to Johns Hopkins University in the U.S., the number of Corona 19 deaths in the U.S. as of 8 am on the 7th in Korea is 556,486.
