Telemedicine: You can have live consults with a doctor on this site for your new and ongoing medical conditions. As for the mammogram, unless you feel a lump or have a history of cancer or biopsies, that will have to wait until the crisis is over. Fro the knee surgery, if it is for a replacement for arthritis, that must wait because it's rarely urgent. No elective surgeries at this time.

Essential care only!: You do not want to increase your chance of getting COVID-19. All elective (non-emergent) medical care has been postponed till the pandemic is over: this is for your protection and also to conserve essential medical supplies for those who need emergent care. Be glad you do not need emergent medical care right now! If you do, you can get that kind of care. Here's hoping that you don't!

Count your blessings: All of this can be delayed without high risk or negative sequelae. Count your blessings you don’t need emergent care at present time.
