The coronavirus has infected millions of people and killed thousands; however, after analyzing the data, doctors are more concerned about elderly and infant people. A Newyork hospital report shows that older adults diagnosed with coronavirus and put on ventilators are hardly surviving. Doctors who made the report said they were quite shocked after seeing so many older adults dying because of coronavirus. Researchers analyzed 257 patients who were admitted into the hospital from March 2 to April 1; out of them, two-third were male patients, and the median age of the patient was 62. Out of these patients who were aged above 80 and put on ventilators couldn’t survive.

The mortality rate in older people is quite high compared to those who are fit and healthy. The majority of these patients surveyed were hospitalized in Allen and Milstein hospital. Doctors said they didn’t see any critical patients aged below thirty. People who are having a high mortality rate are less prone to coronavirus. Young people who got infected with coronavirus didn’t see that much worse condition as compared to those elderly people who had to put on ventilators. Doctors said this study shows people who have elderly people in their family should discuss the effects of the novel coronavirus.

The mortality rate in them varies from 50-97 percent. Survey of people who put on ventilators shows nearly 3% of the patients could survive, and the death rate was around 24.5%. Things are getting harder every day for older adults since they have a more significant threat of dying from coronavirus because of the low immunity system. Some are saying to measure the patients’ condition before putting them on ventilators. Family members of elderly adults can predict what their next decision should be considering the situation.

Since everyone is staying home and waiting to end this situation, things are getting quite serious in Dallas county. According to a recent report from Dallas county reported more than 179 new cases of Coronavirus in a single day along with five more deaths. This is the first time when Dallas County has reported more than 179 cases in a single day, which is making things worse in this region. There had been five new deaths recorded that included a man in his 20s, and four senior residents also. These four residents were in their 60s, 70s, 80s, 90s respectively, which also shows the bad impact of Coronavirus on elderly people.

Four of the deceased people were reportedly residents of Dallas area long term care facilities. Now after considering this news, the County has confirmed 3531 coronavirus cases so far and 104 deaths also. Earlier, the County recorded 148 cases in a day, and that too happened because many grocery store employees were tested positive. The report shows that many patients who are testing positive are without any symptoms of the covid-19 virus, which is making many people worried about it.

One of the health officials of County said that many people are going for unnecessary shopping trips, and not avoiding crowded places. Now such abandonment of law is making things worse every day. Health officials are worried about people’s health because the government is trying to reopen the businesses that will make many people sick. They are advising people to protect themselves and their family as far as they can since it’s the only solution they have got right now. The county judge currently seemed to be optimistic and said so far everyone had given a good response to lock down hopes to do the same in future also.

Every state in the United States of America is affected by the pandemic situation created by a coronavirus. Recent reports from Oregon state show that one person has died because of coronavirus, which takes the total number of deaths to 92 in this state. State health officials released the data that Oregon 92nd death happened because of a coronavirus 91-year-old woman who lived in Washington County. Her reports show us that she was diagnosed with coronavirus on 17th April and died on 25th April. It’s been told that she was going through some different medical conditions also which is the primary reason for death.

Oregon health officials, along with this, also announced 93 new cases of coronavirus outbreak, which brings the total number of cases in the state to 2354. Older adults and small children are the most vulnerable to this dangerous disease since they have the lowest immunity system. Overall the death rate in Oregon state is relatively low because other states are going through more challenging situations. However, these new cases also raised a few more questions about the spread of infection. Since the number of cases has crossed the 2000 mark, health officials in the state are trying to figure out things carefully.

Findings of 43 new cases of coronavirus have been detected in various counties of Oregon state. These cases have been detected as follows: Washington (9), Yamhill (1) Coos (2), Deschutes (2), Linn (5), Malheur (1), Marion (11), Multnomah (12). This number would be increasing in the next few weeks because more people would be diagnosed with this virus. Health officials are requesting people to follow social Distancing and other guidelines, which will help them to fight against this deadly disease.

Hospitals nationwide are terminating elective operations and lessening the quantity of blood they offer. All this is to keep or retain the blood supply. As per the American Association of Blood Banks, rapidly spreading COVID-19 has resulted in the cancellation of more than 4,000 blood donations in the U.S. Even more, the termination has resulted in a loss of around 130,000 blood donations. Well, it is bad news for patients who depend on continuous blood transfusions. AABB’s Chief Medical Officer and the director of the blood bank at the University of Minnesota Medical Center Dr. Claudia Cohn said these circumstances have led to a massive and unprecedented loss of donations.

Currently, they are seeking to delay or lessen the usage of blood, citing that they are failing to re-fill the stock at a higher rate. The American Red Cross noted the fact is someone requires blood every two seconds. Thus it is a probably dangerous condition for the agency’s exceptional health crisis. Even more, the American Red Cross is stepping up on calls for healthy Americans to donate blood between the coronavirus pandemic. On the other hand, Mark C. Poloncarz, an Erie County Executive, has said the region has enough bloodstock that could last for a few days. As per the executive, the cancellation of elective operations could assist them in expanding the existing blood supply.

Meanwhile, ConnectLife and the Red Cross are advising organizations to conduct local blood camps. Apart from this, they are requesting donors to take appointments before donating blood locally. Jay Bonafede, the representative of the American Red Cross, said much of the blood drives are conducted at places like colleges and businesses which are closed now. Bonafede also noted that countrywide they are down around 200,000 blood units. Meanwhile, the US CDC recommends that healthy people donate blood while keeping appropriate social distancing measures. For now, health officials have not found any link between spreading new coronavirus and blood transmission.
