Warned that it could increase.
Other health experts also expressed their opinion that although the number of deaths occurred in the past month since the coronavirus outbreak, there could be more deaths this month.
Based on the counts of the media consortium where influential media participate, the number of deaths last month was 66,000, which was more than twice as many as 32,912 in July last year, the previous month’s highest.
The Institute for Health Quantitative Analysis (IHME) at the University of Washington Medical School in the United States predicted that the death toll could reach around 100,000 in Brazil this month alone.
Experts pointed out that the nationwide shortage of intensive care unit beds is fueling an increase in the number of deaths.
In Sao Paulo, the number of Corona 19 patients who died waiting for admission to the intensive care unit from the beginning of last month until now has been found to be around 550.
In Rio de Janeiro this year, about 300 patients died without receiving timely treatment while waiting for their turn to be admitted to the intensive care unit.
