Delay or Avoidance of Medical Care Because of COVID-19–Related Concerns — United States, June 2020

@TomSmith996 @Steve_Sailer For example, in Houston covid didn't arrive until May. People weren't going to the hospital, any elective surgery was closed. https://t.co/3WZbfyEE6N

@jimeekay @DanielKotzin I couldn't resist: https://t.co/A5VRUzsnin 41% of adults missed/delayed care, 12% emergency. Of course, you're clueless to all this easily found data, and you're going to shift the goalposts again, since you initially talked about

@AgememnonsBoss @jayesspea @xCaiusLai @mcuban @joerogan @Ravarora1 ok either way; it has been established to be true. https://t.co/IlYYhUPXmo

@ArtysHouse @Cyberdoc61 @MdBreathe Wasn't just talking about surgeries & cancer screens. Heart attacks/strokes victims also. Even before 2020 was over the CDC had a study come out with a study about people avoiding getting care. https://t.co/cOlfw6nJ1j

@RepRoKhanna They also delayed it over all the COVID fear-mongering causing un-necessary pain and even death. Despite throwing good money after bad, trillions in medicare fraud. Not updated! https://t.co/63YDe5Dsov

@DavidSteadson @naytodazee @farid__jalali The CDC itself reported back in 2020 based on a national survey conducted by Qualtrics that an estimated 41% of US adults delayed or avoided medical care. 12% included urgent/emergency care. https://t.co/m576dzDjAz

@Tina63696060 @FreeRuralCO @rycunni Some ppl started avoiding the doctor when they could go afraid they might get covid in the doctor's office or hospital. https://t.co/peaK3uwewy

@Brozay412 @MurphysFlawPC @MattMorgan29A @RepJeffries It also adversely affected people seeing their family doctors or potentially missing cancer diagnosis during it. https://t.co/cAhNfNBqV2 https://t.co/F31QoCmq0t https://t.co/mCcj4uJHsQ https://t.co/
