The follow-on effects might even be worse than this.
Worldwide, people are living longer. If this virus is more problematic for older people, then they will take up all the medical resources. And they will continue to infect more health care workers.
The result, is that there are now less medical resources, to handle those that don’t have the virus, but have other medical issues. The medical system may collapse, and these people will die.
This is exactly the problem that hit Wuhan. Their medical system collapsed from the overload, that other people began dying. And those that didn’t have the virus, went to the same hospital to get help, and got the virus at the hospital. So now, they have both, their medical problem, and the virus.
Sadly, this appears to also be happening again, in New York City.
