Coronavirus Death and Infection Rates in WHO European Region Countries

Coronavirus Death and Infection Rates in WHO European Region Countries in the IHME Model Run of April 7.  This region has 53 countries, including Russia, and a population of about 900 million.

As of August 1, the projection is 3.620 million total deaths, while the reported deaths will be 2.450 million, or 67.7%.  So the reported coronavirus deaths is about 2/3 of the total, or the total deaths are about 50% higher than the reported deaths.  The overall projected total deaths per 100,000 is 400.

Here is the IHME map of the total deaths per 100,000 by country as of April 4, 2022.

 

 

Russia stands out as among the worst, with an enormous land mass, but just about 1/6 of the population of the region.  The Eastern European countries also have the worst total death rates.

Here is the IHME map of the Reported covid deaths per 100,000 by country.

Here we see that the European countries are underreporting or under labeling their total covid deaths.

Here is the IHME map of the percent of the population infected at least once, per 100,00, by country as of April 4, 2022.

Overall, 75% have been infected at least once as of April 4.  Central and Eastern Europe have not had a BA.2 surge yet.  The overall infection detection rate is 26%.

Here is the percent of the population fully vaccinated by country.

Overall, 63% in the region are fully vaccinated.  Overall mask wearing is 32%, and mobility is just 3% above normal.   20 countries have 70% or more fully vaccinated, but this is less than 50% in Eastern Europe.

The Russian vaccine, Sputnik-V, is only 44% effective in preventing infection, and only 67% effective in preventing severe disease.
