Per the Daily Telegraph

Lockdown policy has had "significant unintended consequences” such as lack of access to critical healthcare and a drop in A&E attendances

That’s everyday under NHS in Britain.

Color me shocked. Next time you see a liberal, tell them thank you. They've infected the entire world at this point.

Just returned from a funeral for my grandpa. They locked down the assisted living home, so he wasn't allowed to leave his room for the past 4 months even though there were zero confirmed cases there, and <200 in the entire county. Turns out, the staff didn't have him do much physically and we believe his body gave out much sooner than it would have.

There are some really smart people that suggest lockdowns in the US will end up costing an order of magnitude more years of life than they'll save. They point to standards/norms from everything from actuary tables and cancer survival rates as a function of when in the development of the cancer it was detected to rates of depression, alcohol/drug use and suicide as a function of economic conditions to arrive at these predictions.

I got downvoted into oblivion on Reddit the other day for going against some guy who was saying how well the UK handled the virus compared to the US. He quoted the lockdowns and compared the percentage of people tested in each country.
What the frick does that matter?
At the time we had done 55 million test and they had done 15 million.
Their death per million numbers were almost 50% more than ours.

This is happening for sure. Drug manufacturers are pointing out the steep dropoff in chemotherapy sales and pathologists are alarmed that they have no work to do.
That's not because people stopped getting cancer - it's because people stopped getting their cancer diagnosed before it is too late.

Yes, and now consider the average age of a cancer patient to the average age of a person that was saved from COVID by a lockdown.

You’re tilting at windmills over on that site.

Purely from a suicide/homicide standpoint based on increased unemployment, lockdown has killed or will kill (this year) 35,000 in the US.

So, about 50% of the COVID deaths.

I went and did a colonoscopy two weeks ago to rule out colorectal cancer. Wasn't afraid of cancer, per se, but had to rule it out. My original appointment was in March. Actual procedure in July. 4 months in cancer detection is a damn lifetime, I'm very lucky everything looked good. There are several out there that likely had a treatable form that has become untreatable during lockdowns. Others have died because clinical trial sites for new cancer meds with high rates of success have been closed.
