@MarkN, just for interest, the Cancer Society came out a couple of days ago saying delayed testing and treatment for I think 3 months could lead to around 400 cancer deaths in NZ.

Similar arguments could be made for the inevitable increase in suicide rate due to massive job losses.

I don't think anyone knows what the numbers will be either way - but it is not going to be a pretty sight

the media was saying along the lines of

400,000 dental treatments canned

30,000 elective surgery's canned
https://www.nzherald.co.nz/nz/news/a...ectid=12325949
and the mental health lines having a hammering

I think I'm number 29,972

I'd rather my very painful condition's surgery, was delayed a few months, than you lose any of your relatives to the virus, for lack of lock down measures.

edit:: sorry, came across wrong thanks for the links and info
