Discovery's Guy Chennells says deaths due to cardiometabolic issues and cancer-related conditions are strikingly high. Moneyweb Covid longCovid
The Covid-19 pandemic has receded, but the continuing impact is so severe that it has been given a name of its own – ‘long Covid’, with these ongoing health problems linked to the pandemic causing higher-than-normal mortality rates. The South African Medical Research Council is still publishing excess mortality figures, which show that excess deaths due to normal causes are higher than they should be.
” Higher deaths Linked to the three drivers – long Covid, a decline in wellness and cancer screenings, and reduced levels of exercise – Discovery’s data indicates that natural deaths are still tracking higher than they were prior to the pandemic. In March 2020, when the first lockdown started, Discovery Group Risk recorded a three-month rolling average of 87 deaths per month. This figure spiked to 249 deaths per month by August 2021 during the third wave of the Covid-19 outbreak.
