For the Netherlands, based on overall excess mortality, an estimated 20,000 people died from COVID-19 in 2020, [10] while only the death of 11,525 identified COVID-19 cases was registered. [9] The official count of COVID-19 deaths as of December 2021 is slightly more than 5.4 million, according to World Health Organization's report in May 2022 ...

Ferritin genes are highly conserved between species. All vertebrate ferritin genes have three introns and four exons. [8] In human ferritin, introns are present between amino acid residues 14 and 15, 34 and 35, and 82 and 83; in addition, there are one to two hundred untranslated bases at either end of the combined exons.

Serum iron is a medical laboratory test that measures the amount of circulating iron that is bound to transferrin and freely circulate in the blood. Clinicians order this laboratory test when they are concerned about iron deficiency, which can cause anemia and other problems. 65% of the iron in the body is bound up in hemoglobin molecules in red blood cells.
These examples demonstrate that to properly understand a value for TIBC, one also must know the serum iron, the percent transferrin saturation, and the individual clinical situation. In modern laboratory testings, serum ferritin levels are generally accepted as reliable single indicators of the presence of iron deficiency. [citation needed]
The ideal is to increase the body's iron deposits, measured as levels of ferritin in serum, with the aim of reaching a ferritin value between 30 and 100 ng/mL. A clinical study has shown an increase in ferritin levels in those taking iron compared with others receiving a placebo. [11]

This article documents the chronology and epidemiology of SARS-CoV-2, the virus which causes the coronavirus disease 2019 and is responsible for the COVID-19 pandemic in Australia during 2020. The first human case of COVID-19 in Australia was identified in Melbourne in January 2020.
