Heart Disease, Dementia and Cancer Kill Four Times More Each than Coronavirus Does

Paul Goble

            Staunton, August 29 – Reports about deaths from coronavirus infections are so frequent and so horrifying that many forget that far more people are currently dying from other diseases even during the pandemic. New data from the UK show that there, heart disease, dementia and cancer are killing four times more than covid is (mk.ru/science/2021/08/29/smertnost-ot-koronavirusa-i-drugikh-bolezney-sravnili-udivitelnaya-statistika.html).

            A similar pattern is likely in Russia as well and is something that Russians like other peoples are going to have to come to terms with as they recognize that they are not likely to be able to defeat the coronavirus completely but are going to have to learn to live with it and view it as part of the disease landscape.

            News about developments in the health field is always sparser on Sundays than on other days of the week. But today, as the pandemic continued to ebb and flow across the country, Russian officials reported registering 19,286 new cases of infection and 797 new deaths from covid over the last 24 hours (t.me/COVID2019_official/3491 and
