The Horrifying Flip-side of Lockdowns

I’m going to make this super simple. A list and categorization of studies demonstrating the terrible impact of lockdowns across the world.

People Suffering from Other Diseases

• 1.4 million additional tuberculosis deaths due to lockdown disruptions
• 500,000 additional deaths related to HIV
• Malaria deaths could double to 770,000 total per year
• 65 percent decrease in all cancer screenings
• Breast cancer screenings dropped 89 percent
• Colorectal screenings dropped 85 percent
• Projected increase in cancer deaths, including up to 16.6 percent increase in colorectal cancer deaths, 9.5 percent increase in breast cancer deaths, and 5.4 percent increase in lung cancer deaths over the next 5 years
• 75 percent decrease in suspected cancer referrals in the UK
• At least 1/3 of excess deaths in the U.S. are already not related to COVID-19
• Widespread disruption of access to health care in the UK, disproportionately for poor individuals
• Increase in cardiac arrests but decrease in EMS calls for them
• 38% decrease in heart disease-related treatments
• 33% drop in heart attack patients, 58% drop in stroke patients
• Significant increase in stress-related cardiomyopathy during lockdowns
