“I bet a lot of the increase in deaths the last two years was due to folks not getting the care they needed, not getting checkups they could have discovered deadly diseases etc.”
We lost a SIL, who was like a real sister because she never had a checkup after the Corona blitz. She died of severe sudden onset of Leukemia.
We are at 6 friends, who have died re your comments.
My wife had a hip replacement postponed for close to a year due to Covid stuff, not her. She finally got the replacement on 1 March of this year.
She was in constant pain in her left hip and her left knee and left foot. The knee and foot pain disappeared within less than a day after her successful hip replacement.
She used a few pain pills post op and basically got by with ice packs.
Now, we have another Covid surge and in even emergency situations were delayed in getting critical ER treatment for people we know.
My wife’s brother back in the midwest needs a knee replacement. Due to more Covid B$, he is in a holding pattern like his sister/my wife was last year and the first quarter of this year.
sorry to hear that- we’ve known people who died during covid too- I’m guessing a lot of elderly lost their lives too in nursing homes because they wouldn’t get them the care they needed during pandemic- The holding patterns is killing peopel and worsening conditions that coudl be treated now-
