Are all Death Covid Related - What's Happening to other Health Issues?

We need to be more concerned with people's overall health during this so called pandemic and take some of spotlight off covid and focus more of it on these other areas of health that have been neglected for the past 2 years. @wakeupnd

Every morning when I wake up and even at night before I sleep, the only and major news surrounding the air is all about covid-19 pandemic and the amount of money pushed into the treatment of the pandemic. Like he said above, its high time we shift the paradigm off the pandemic and face other aspects of our lives. Greetings from @inspiredbyhive.

In recent weeks the situation seems to be changing as guidelines and methodology for counting both COVID cases and COVID deaths are changing. According to a friend who works at a major hospital in New England hospital's chief epidemiologist reported in the first half of January that the hospital no longer lumps all COVID-positive admissions into one category but rather distinguishes between those admitted for COVID, i.e., those who need treatment because of their COVID infection, and those admitted with COVID, i.e., those who were admitted due to other health issues, for example, a broken arm, but also happened to be COVID-positive.

If you look and study closely the happenings around world is just all about covid-19 pandemic and the covid vaccine. No one is looking at other health issues that are able to kill instantly like the high level of high blood pressure, cardiac arrest that are not covid related, malnutrition in Sub-saharan African. It'll shock you to note that most of the covid related are just an assumption. My question is, can't someone recover from covid-19 and later die of another illness? Should the medical practitioners or government be so ignorant to believe that once someone was diagnosed of being positive to covid, he'll continue to be positive! Maybe the government and some private individuals are cashing out of the covid-19 pandemic and so, every other story becomes abstract in their eyes. To some extent, the fear of being positive to covid, kills faster than the covid-19 pandemic itself.

Let's take cancer health issues for example, according to the American Cancer Society (ACS), there's is a great decline for cancer related issues in the US. This is pretty good but have we thought of the devastating effects and the statistics of cancer related issues all over the world. Cancer has been a killer disease in Sub-saharan African and Asia. This is associated with poor health care system and the inability of government in such areas to improve the healthcare system and provide the necessary facilities to be used to diagnose and treat cancer. Covid-19 pandemic have had negative effects on the diagnosis and treatment of cancer related issues as seen below

The COVID-19 pandemic has caused reduced access to care for other illnesses, including cancer. This has led to delays in cancer screening, diagnosis, and treatment.
Even as access to care improves, people may continue to wait to see their doctors for preventive care or an evaluation of symptoms because they’ve lost their jobs due to COVID-19 (including their work-based health insurance) or are afraid they will expose themselves to the virus.

With regards to this above point, you can assume why every death is tagged covid related. When all attention in the US based hospitals and other regions of the world is given to covid related issues, how will they not tag all death as covid related. People are actually suffering from other health issues Other than the coronavirus infection. Government should balance their spending by supporting the treatment of other health related issues.

Cardiac arrest is also one of the fastest diseases killing most people around the world. Although, it's usually predominant to sports athletics. Anybody could die of cardiac arrest or heart attack and still be negative to covid. Prior to the covid-19 pandemic and even now the annual global rate of cardiovascular death is about 17 million. This is very high and today they tag cardiac related deaths as covid. The survival rate from sudden cardiac arrest is less than 1% worldwide and close to 5% in the US. Prevention of cardiovascular disease by increasing awareness of risk factors such as lack of exercise, inappropriate diet and smoking has reduced cardiovascular mortality in the US over the past few decades.Source

Finally, it's time for us to shift our attention away from the covid-19 pandemic and place our minds on something more productive and useful to the economy as well as our health in general. Your health is your best assets, like the saying goes health is wealth, so remain healthy to continue to be wealthy.

Thanks, hope you enjoyed your time with my post.
