All cause mortality is down 9% over the last couple of months in Rome (sorry, on mobile, not easy to add reference which I would have to trawl for) - just to get in front of any covid-seriousness deniers, Rome has not been badly hit.

In Australia, significant decreases in STEMI (serious heart attack presentations) although nothing published yet. Everyone wondering what’s going on - going to be some interesting studies coming out after this in terms of population health and additional/reduced morbidity and mortality

Less pollution, pollution especially PM smaller than 2.5 you get from the tail of an exhaust pipe sitting in front of you in traffic is not good for cardiovascular health and also is known to cause strokes. We have a significant decline in pollution and people driving.
