Abstract

is very variable since there are countries that differ up to two orders of magnitude. Objective: To analyze the positive/deaths ratio up to May 24, 2021, in the European countries on the light of asymptomatic subjects and determine if the presence of non-mortal drifts can justify the present deaths decay. Methods: The data of the European countries were retrieved from the WHO coronavirus dashboard. Italy was taken as example to calculate the differences among regions in the same country, and the relative data were taken from the Official Bulletin. Statistical analysis was based on the ODDS ratio. Results: True asymptomatic subjects are difficult to be calculated and the differences among the deaths ratio can be due to the presence of non-mortal drifts. Conclusions: The non-mortal drift should be considered as one of the reasons of the present death decay, and vaccinations can accelerate this process.
