If in your location shutdown policies are preventing you from getting healthcare, they are doing their shutdown wrong. This is very sad.

This is known to be happening in the UK too. The expectation is for thousands of 'excess' cancer deaths due to reduced cancer-related medical services.

What’s sad is it took 3 years to find out I have a clotting disorder.
Despite many trips to Er and doctors complaining of stroke symptoms.
A simple blood thinner resolved so many problems for me.
Turns out there’s a big range of clot sizes. From micro ones that have very brief problems, to the sort that kill you in minutes. Hospitals can only really catch them when they are about to kill you, or just after.
