RE: Are all Death Covid Related - What's Happening to other Health Issues?

You are viewing a single comment's thread:

The primary reason that the COVID19 death rate was so high was because we now have an enormous population that is over 75.

Our health technology can keep people alive with multiple comorbidities. The expected effect of this health care is that highly contageous diseases will take out the people whose lives have been extended by technology.

I understand your point but have you thought of other health issues that are leading to mortality because the covid-19 pandemic has taken preeminence in the world health? Yes the population is high as you've said but if I'm not covid positive and I'm having other health challenges, what should I do and to whom should I go to for help when every medical practitioner is attending to the enormous covid population. I think there are other pressing needs other than the covid itself. Thanks for commenting

Ooops, I didn't catch that the post was about your health.

You are right that the pandemic has diverted large segments of the health care population from other specialties. I heard that a huge portion of the medical profession was laid off because they were labeled non-essential.

A family friend has MS. She is having a bear of a time finding medical help.

I wish you well.
