    When the final tally of 'excess deaths' is made, deaths due to non- or late-treatment of other conditions will have to be included.

    If a pandemic had been properly planned for (including having the necessary resources in place), it should have been possible to deal with it without substantially compromising treatment for other conditions.

    It is hardly surprising, given the lack of planning and resources available, that, when the pandemic hit, given its potential lethality, the available resources were diverted to deal with it at the expense of other treatments.
