CBS just showed a guy who died, not from the virus, but because of his heart, after his elective heart surgery was canceled. If we hadn't reacted so strongly to the virus, he might be alive now instead.
People forget about 'the law of unintended consequences.'
Take anything CBS reports on this with a grain of salt. They just ran a story a few days ago about some nurse that supposedly quit due to hospital conditions related to COVID-19. CBS never vetted the story and it turns out she hasn't worked there in a year because she is bi-polar and has other psychological issues. That said if waiting for the surgery truly caused his death then it wasn't elective surgery, it was necessary. He MIGHT still be alive but there's no way to know-it's possible he could have died from the virus itself had he contracted it or spread it to someone who may have died. There are always unintended consequences but I question the decision to postpone if he died from the issue.
