A&E Doctor at Addenbrookes noted in a TV interview that admissions for heart attacks and strokes had halved from normal levels. Have people stopped suffering from these critical conditions, or is it that they'd rather take their chances at home than risk catching C-19 in hospital?
Nope - they are just dying at home. Paramedics are finding that they have many more 'dead on arrival' than before. It may be that these folks do not want to bother A&E or the fear that they will catch the disease at hospital. So they stay home and, a notable number, then die.
The other category of folks in trouble are those for whom new treatment would be started, particularly for a cancer.
