Heart attack death rate 6% out of hospital, 24% in hospital, and it affects 600,000 people per year. That means over a two month period there should have been 100,000 heart attacks and instead there were only 67,000. Those 33,000 people had their survival rate drop from 24% to 6%, an extra 6,000 deaths just in March and April.

You're 33% more likely to not have disability or death if you go to the hospital within 3 hours, so I guess screw those 25,000 (795,000/6 x 0.58 x 0.33) people in March and April who could be alive or without disability.
