On the other hand, people have been avoiding going to the doctor, so diagnosis and treatment of all sorts of preventable/treatable diseases (like cancer) is down, leading to excess death, disability, and suffering.
- disordinary 5y agoMost of those diseases have a long tail so we won't see the death rate from them for 2020 probably. They'll increase the death rate in a year or two unfortunately.
- colordrops 5y agoThings like diabetes and kidney disease which can cause acute failures if not managed properly are certainly causing short term upticks in deaths.
