Reduced access to healthcare, counterintuitively, reduces mortality in the short term, because it reduces complications from medical interventions.
On the medium and long term instead it increases mortality, as expected.
Moreover, lockdowns and social distancing also reduced flu deaths.
This means that the total number of deaths attributable ti Covid may in fact be higher than the excess mortality over the average of previous years, although it is difficult to quantity the difference.
