Headsup on Cardiac Helth.

So, 25% of peeps die on their first ever heart attack, just poof.

The further you live from a hospital, the higher those odds.

Now, with the pandemic in play,  the first responders (ambulance) are bogged down, which is equivalent to every person living further away from the hospital.

That is, if any y'all got ticker issues,  it's time to do-everything-right,  because help is either delayed and/or not coming (in time).

Related: Dr. Rohin Frances, a cardiologist in the UK, said on his Youtube channel a few days ago that he's seen a marked decrease in heart attack patients coming to him. He theorized people were probably not calling for help because they think the hospital is already at capacity or they are scared of catching COVID-19 if they do go to the hospital. This article seems to indicate the same thing happening here in the US.
Maybe they're waiting for gasmasks and latex to get sexy again.

The world has become a weird place.
