While #COVID19 deaths are counted and visible in the present, the missed health care visits during the #lockdown will lead to deaths that are spread out over many years to come.https://twitter.com/Farzad_MD/status/1288555052760694790 …

Not only lockdowns is causing missed health care. Eg in Sweden (without lockdown) a lot of care had to be cancelled since the healt care system had to focus on the COVID-patients.

Actually, if you look at excess mortality in Euromomo, you will realize that countries with few cases, but lockdown, had no increase in mortality at all. This shows that lockdowns in themselves do not cause excess mortality at all. Only too many cases do.https://www.euromomo.eu/graphs-and-maps

Hi Otto. A missed mammography, colonoscopy or high blood pressure diagnosis does not lead to death this year, but they will lead to extra unnecessary deaths during the years to come. It is a big problem that needs urgent attention.

So what do we do? Force people to go to the hospital to have a mammography if they don't want to because they are afraid of getting the virus? Or pull doctors from caring for COVID patients so that they can do all the mammographies?

I think we strongly encourage people to go to their doctors to catch-up with their vaccinations, cancer screenings, general check-ups, etc, (PS: Thank you for your extensive comments.)
