A member asked:
Does the prevalence of covid-19 mean that some people with other conditions will not be able to get the care they need at clinics and hospitals?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: Some care that is more elective in nature may not be available. However, pretty much throughout the US, hospitals are encouraging people to come in if they have significant health problems. Heart attacks and appendicitis will still occur whether there is a COVID 19 pandemic or not.
