Heart attacks are similarly down 40-60%.

And cancer diagnoses are down by half.

Of course, no, they aren’t down, it’s just that people that absolutely should be going to the hospital aren’t and they’re endangering their lives trying to avoid COVID-19.

Could something similar be at play here?

I laughed out loud when they suggested that this is a “low stress” time to be pregnant. All indicators show the opposite.
