"during the summer"

Right when people were getting second doses... And the article specifically says doctors do not think covid or delayed care is the cause.

@Hope_report A 25% increase isn't an existential crisis at least. Hopefully if that is the cause, it's a one-time thing rather than a permanent risk increase.

@pete couple heart attacks with other new diagnoses increasing is not good. I’m praying the “cure” is not going to be worse than the virus.

@pete

Might just be effect of being locked for months and the unhealthy habits associated.

@pete why haven't I had a heart attack yet? I got the second dose in late May and I eat garbage food and am a big fat guy but the doctors tell me I'm somehow really healthy other than being fat. I'm also a heavy tobacco user. Where's my heart attack? What, do I have to jump off a fucking bridge?

@pete In case anyone was wondering like me, it sounds like the number of patients rose from a normal ~240 to ~300 for a sustained 3 month period of May, June, July.

Percentages without context always bother me.

@pete it might be due to unhealthy food and lack of exercise, MAYBE related to the lockdowns? Indeed not directly related to covid, but due to insane government imposed restrictions

@pete the correlation is not clear to see in those short messages with barely any data (not your fault!) Are the people having heart attacks also old, obese, was it them who took the vaccine who also got a heart attack? I can just imagine that it’s just the vaccine causing it because I heard about people with brain issues right after the vaccin, but can’t CONCLUDE it from the data around me. Probably an honest virologist who dares to still speak could…
