Doctors wrote to warn The Coronavirus Shutdown will lead to “exponentially growing heath consequences”
Beer leads to power abuse?
The doctors' letter outlines a variety of consequences that the doctors have observed resulting from the coronavirus shutdown.
Consequences include patients missing routine checkups that could detect things like heart problems or cancer, increases in substance and alcohol abuse, and increases in financial instability that could lead to “[p]overty and financial uncertainty,” which “is closely linked to poor health.”
“We are alarmed at what appears to be the lack of consideration for the future health of our patients,” the doctors say in their letter. “The downstream health effects … are being massively under-estimated and under-reported. This is an order of magnitude error.”
