More people have or will die from the lockdown than from the Wuhan flu.
A majority of those listed as coronavirus victims died "with" the virus rather than "from" the virus because hospitals need the coronavirus money. Patient in hospice develops a fever or pneumonia, rush them to the hospital to take advantage of a "presumptive" case.
In PA, several hospital chains have furloughed massive amounts of the healthcare workers since our idiotic Governer has banned "elective" procedures. The term "elective" implies one can't get plastic surgery, but you also can't visit a cardiologist or nephrologist. You know, "elective" things like heart problems or kidney failure both of which will kill more in this state in the next year than a virus.
On the bright side, UPMC, one of the largest chains in the country, is giving the lockdown a big "F U" to the Governor by opening elective procedures as soon as next week.
I don't understand why more people aren't asking this. It's a simple evaluation. How many people are going to suffer because a lack of preventative care like mammograms and colonoscopies, etc., over the next two months (plus more bc there with be a backlog once/if thing re-open.) How many tens of thousands of people will suffer or die because of this over the next few years.
Similarly, how many people will be driven to suffer through depression and substance abuse because they have been financially crippled?
How do hospitals receive money for reporting COVID cases? I've not heard about this.
