코로나바이러스: 왜 뉴욕시는 바이러스 사망이 급증하고 있는가?

Coronavirus: Why is NYC reporting surge in virus deaths?

 

 

 

 

 

New York City's death count has spiked to more than 10,000 after it reported 3,778 people who likely had Covid-19, but died without being tested.

Firefighters and paramedics had been recording drastic increases in deaths at home around the city, assumed to be caused by the virus.

The new figures, from the city's Health Department, mark a 60% rise in deaths.

In terms of per-capita death rate, New York City has now outpaced Italy - home to the highest death toll in Europe.

"Behind every death is a friend, a family member, a loved one. We are focused on ensuring that every New Yorker  who died because of Covid-19 gets counted, " said the city's health commissioner, Dr Oxiris Barbot.

 

 

 

코로나바이러스: 왜 뉴욕시는 바이러스 사망이 급증하고 있는가?

 

검진은 없었지만 코로나바이러스에 의해 사망했을 것 같은 3,778명의 사망자 이후  뉴욕시의 코로나바이러스에 의한 사망자는 1만명 이상 급증했다.
소방관과 구급대원은 도시 곳곳에서 코로나바이러스에 의한 것으로 추정되는 사망자가 급격히 증가했다고 보고했다. 
뉴욕시 보건부의 새로운 수치는 사망자가 60% 증가한 것으로 나타났다.
뉴욕의 1인당 사망률 측면에서 유럽의 가장 높은 사망자 수를 기록한 이태리를 앞섰다. 
"모든 사망 뒤에는 친구, 가족, 사랑하는 사람이 있다. 우리는 코로나바이러스에 의한 뉴욕 사망자를 파악하는 것에 집중하고 있다."라고 보건국장인 오시리스 바버 박사는 말했다.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The revised count brings New York's total virus fatalities to 10,367.

Why has this happened?

New York Governor Andrew Cuomo on Wednesday said that the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) had changed guidelines for how coronavirus deaths were to be recorded.

"They want deaths, and then another category of probable deaths, " Mr Cuomo said, to be administered by local health departments or coroners. He added that people who passed away outside of a hospital or nursing home may have been missed in previous counts.

Mark Levine, chair of the city's Heath Council that even these adjusted numbers were likely an undercount.

 

"There were an additional 3,017 deaths above normal levels in past month, not known to be connected to covid, " he wrote on Twitter. "There is only one explanation for this increase: direct & indirect victims of the pandemic."

 

 

 

수정된 뉴욕의 코로나 바이러스 사망자는 10,367명이다.

 

 

왜 이런 일이 일어 났나? 

 

뉴욕 주지사 앤드류 쿠오모는 수요일 질병통제  예방 센터가 코로나바이러스 사망에 대한 기록 방식에 대한 지침을 바꿨다고 말했다.
쿠오모 주지사는 지역 보건부나 검시관들의 운영을 위해서 사망과 또 다른 범주의 사망 가능성에 대해 알기를 원한다고 했다. 그는 병원이나 요양원 밖에서 세상을 떠난 사람들은 이전 통계에서 놓쳤을 수 있다고 덧붙였다.
이 도시의 Heath Council 의장인 마크 레바인은 이러한 조정된 수치조차 실제보다 덜 집계된 것일 수 있다고 말했다.

"이것은 지난달 정상 수준보다 3,017명이 사망 했으며 코로나와 상관없는 것으로 알려져 있다."라고 그의 트위터에 썼다. 
이 사망률 증가에 대한 유일한 설명이 있다. : 전염병의 직접 및 간접적인 피해자들 

 

 

 

 

 

How does this affect the official death toll?

 

It's unclear. Mr Cuomo said the state will work with local agencies to publish revised numbers "as soon as we can".

As of yet, the coronavirus database from Johns Hopkins University - used as the definitive count by many US states and news outlets, including the BBC - has not changed its tally to include "presumed" deaths.

"While these data reflect the tragic impact that the virus has had on our city, they will also help us to determine the scale and scope of the epidemic and guide us in our decisions, " Dr Barbot said.

 

 

 

이것이 공식 사망자수에 어떤 여향을 미쳤는가?

 

그것은 확실하지 않다. 쿠오모주지사는 주정부가 현지 기관과 협력하여 개정된 수치를 
"최대한 빨리" 발표할 것이라고 언급했다.
아직까지 존스 홉킨스 대학의 코로나바이러스 데이터베이스(많은 미국 주정부와 언론기관에서 사용했던 결정적인 수치)는 추청 되는 사망자를 포함한 누적 집계를 변경하지 않았다.
"이 데이터는 코로나바이러스가 우리 도시에 미친 비극적인 영향을 반영하지만,  그들은 또한 유행병의 규모와 범위를 결정하는데 도움이 되고 우리가 어떤 결정을 해야 할지 안내하는 역할을 한다."라고 바버 박사는 말했다.

 

 

 

 

 

What are other states doing?

 

Since the start of March - before New York City reported its first death - the CDC asked local governments to record "assumed" coronavirus infections on death certificates.

But so far, the application has been inconsistent.

Municipalities in Connecticut, Ohio and Delaware have begun to recorded cases where the infection is assumed but not confirmed with a test, Dr Barbot told the New York Times, while officials in California and Seattle only count virus deaths if proven with a positive test.

 

 

 

다른 주들은 무엇을 하고 있나?

 

3월 초부터(뉴욕시가 첫번째 사망자를 보고하기 전) CDC는 지방 정부에 사망진단서에 코로나바이러스 감염 "추정"을 기록하는 것을 요청했다.
그러나 지금까지 그 적용은 일관성이 없었다. 
바버 박사는 뉴욕타임즈에 코네티컷, 오하이오와 엘러웨어의 지자체는 감염으로 추정되었지만 확진되지 않은 사례들을 기록하기 시작했으나 캘리포니아와 시애틀의 공무원들은 코로나 바이러스 양성으로 입증된 경우에만 바이러스에 의한 사망으로 총수치를 계산한다고 밝혔다.
