[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Many hospitals have cancelled elective procedures, so they might look "empty," and they aren't letting randos into the ICU or COVID wards. [/quote] People are also avoiding care. My guess is that a lot of people who previously used the ER for routine medical issues - the poor, the homeless, undocumented immigrants - are toughing it out at home or perhaps heading to Urgent Care clinics. Some of them are dying at home in order to avoid the hospital. My guess is that excess deaths for 2020 [b]due to medical issues[/b] is going to be way higher than we realize right now. But this may be offset by lower deaths due to car accidents, physical/work accidents, traveling, drunk driving, etc because people are generally staying home and not going out as much. [/quote]
