When all is said and done the number who died from not getting treatment for the statistically more significant killers will most likely be larger than the actual number of Covid deaths. My brother in law had a cancerous brain tumor, they said it was too dangerous for him to come in to get treatment and put him on hospice care instead. When he died his death was classified as a “presumptive covid death” by CDC guidelines. This was my first clue that something was seriously amiss with the accounting system in place.
Very sorry to hear about your brother in law. That is a tough ordeal.
My son has brain cancer and was determined to be terminal last winter. He did not want to stop fighting so he was able to try an experimental drug thanks to President Trump who got the Right to Try legislation passed. On the first night of the RNC Natalie Harp talked about it.
So it was too dangerous for someone like my son to go to a clinic and be around other people. They set up a small office in a separate building for that purpose. He would go in and be the only patient there. They could do the blood draws and such and then clean the place thoroughly for the next high risk patient.
