[QUOTE="Max68, post: 2236861, member: 521172"] There will obviously more deaths on top due to the outbreak as well as the disease itself. My mum for instance is in a bad way with dementia in a care home. Now if the home stays safe, which is a lottery considering workers still have to go home and out, you will still have residents like my mum who are under observation and tests for other conditions which require GP or hospital visits. Obviously a lot of those appointments will either be cancelled due to not enough NHS staff to deal with those or that a hospital visit to see a consultant is deemed too risky to the patient. That isn't just older ill people in care as well. I cannot imagine how people currently having treatment for say cancer must be feeling right now. A real double whammy in relation to trying to make a recovery with treatment. I dare say mental health and suicide rates will also be very much in the news once this is over sadly and general fitness and diet of people also will take a whack. Hard enough for regular people to shop in full shelves at the moment and as time goes on let alone those of us who need to shop for certain foods due to diet. [/QUOTE]
