COVID restrictions caused people to die while waiting for essential medical procedures.

For example, I know someone who’s got a heart attack, uh, when he needed a stent, but he couldn’t get a stent because the capability it was shut down and the local hospitals and so there’s many, many, it’s going to be hard to quantify, but there’s the damage that the shutdown of this country has done is not yet and will not be known for many years.
