And that guesstimate is probably a low-ball figure. Reality will probably be much worse.
Please don't, your list is a pain.
You can read my current list at Here are 199 reasons why I’m against the COVID-19 lockdowns
I've been annoyed by your damned lists for years.
Get over yourself, attention ho.
10,000 additional cases of cancer? But SOOOO worth it if the scam prevents Trump from winning the election. Right?
I’m a bad person, but ... naw ... I’m not going to say it. I’m not going to say who I hope are the victims of these additional cases.
I get my heath care at Harvard Medical School's largest,and most famous,teaching affiliate. I'm followed there for two ongoing,potentially serious,conditions. For about 4 months I couldn't get an in person appointment for either of them...and they're not conditions that can be treated by "virtual" visits.I don't think I've been harmed in any way but there are surely many,many like me (perhaps even millions) who *have* been harmed.Seriously harmed!
With the left pulling crap like this, Q’s prediction that one day these people will not be safe walking down the street will come true.
Instilling pain, suffering, fear, and death is worth it for the grand cause of Communism.
The ends justify the means.
My general physician is refusing to return to work in person, offering “telehealth” appointments only still.
All other doctors I’ve seen since March—physical therapist, gynecologist, oncologist, dermatologist, and dentist—are back in person.
I guess I’ll be shopping for a new general practictioner soon.
Despite the fact that my youngest son was diagnosed with cancerous polyps in early 2019, I am grateful that if it had to occur at all, that it happened then, and not this year, as he was able to have the required surgery, and uninterrupted chemo treatments that lasted until November 1st of last year. His last scan was clear, and I pray every day that it remains that way. I can’t imagine what people have had to go through during this lockdown, in order to get the proper treatment they needed. My niece supervises a lab in a large hospital in Rochester, NY, and said that people who needed medical treatment, like individuals with leukemia, were afraid of going to the hospital for help, some to the point where they ended up dying because of it. I blame the media mostly for it. As my niece said, the hospital was probably the safest place to go for treatment, because Covid cases were kept isolated in a specific area of the hospital, quarantined, and no one other than the staff who worked in that specific area had contact with them.
Well, one could state that 10k over the long haul is better than 200k now.
But yeah, this really stinks.
I hate it enough myself as I’m struggling with my health right now trying to find a solution. It’s screwed up everything.
Jvette, fyi!

Gee, no kidding? I guess my amateur opinion was right when I said this in April.
I shoulda been a rocket surgeon.
The fact that people are dying because of the lockdown doesn’t mean it’s a scam.
You might make the case that the lockdown is inappropriate because of the deaths.
You need to work on your critical thinking a bit.
Thanks Grampa!
The fallout/long term consequences of these draconian lockdowns are going to be enormous.
Long story short, my husband tested positive for the virus in early August. His cardiologists needs to perform a procedure on his heart to hopefully reverse arrhythmia, which can cause a stroke or heart attack, but had to postpone it because he tested positive again after 33 days. The hospital would not allow him to be admitted for the procedure, told him to quarantine for 14 days and then test again. Once he gets a negative, we can reschedule.
He already had the virus and tests positive for the antibodies but until it’s a negative test, no procedure. The CDC says should not be tested for at least 90 days because many people can test positive for that time although they don’t have an active virus.
It’s ridiculous. These places need to adapt so that other medical needs are being met.
The death rates from strokes and heart attacks easily doubled, because these high risk patients stopped going to the hospital. Stroke centers saw patient volumes fall by more than half.
