what are the reasons?
As the Economic Observer noted, if this happens, 2021 will be the first year since the end of World War II in which more than half a million Poles were killed.
What are the reasons for the high death rate? One of them is the epidemic. This year, the Corona virus officially caused 92,000 deaths. However, some scientists believe that this number may be underestimated, and in fact, the deaths from COVID-19 are as high as 150,000.
