A large proportion of deaths worldwide have occurred among elderly living in nursing homes. Sweden is no exception with a comparable proportion making up around half of all deaths. The elderly, frail individuals living in nursing homes are among the most vulnerable and with the highest risk to die of covid-19. In spite of that we see almost two-thirds of the infected are still alive with a majority recovering fully after receiving treatment at the nursing home. Of 8 057 residents living in nursing homes in Stockholm, 1 464 (18 %) individuals have so far been diagnosed with covid-19 and 532 have died (6 % of all residents). Importantly, this means that a great majority of the residents are still alive including almost two-thirds (932/1 464) of the infected individuals.
全球很大一部分死亡发生在养老院中的老年人身上。瑞典也不例外，这一比例与之相当，约占所有死亡人数的一半。居住在养老院中的体弱老人是最脆弱的群体之一，死于新冠病毒的风险最高。尽管如此，我们仍看到近三分之二的感染者仍然存活，其中大多数在养老院接受治疗后完全康复。在斯德哥尔摩养老院居住的8057名居民中，到目前为止已有1464人（18%）被诊断感染新冠病毒，532人死亡（占所有居民的6%）。重要的是，这意味着绝大多数居民仍然活着，包括近三分之二（932/1464）的感染者。
