In reply @VijayKunadian : 1) we know there is an excess of deaths (when all-causes as a single group are studied) (@d_spiegel);
2) there will also be an excess of #cardiovascular deaths (we will release a pre-print shortly for external review @mmamas1973). I think it is very likely people did not come to #hospital - we know that failure to treat MI results in premature death.
(However, limitations in arbitration of cause, ‘default’ to #COVID19 as a cause, & latent effects of missed #heartattack will produce mis-classification bias & an underestimation of the extent of the deaths from not seeking help)
