It has been a known fact that during doctor’s strikes fewer people die. Yes, probably.
When I was a kid newspapers regularly published the number of people who were expected to die during a given construction project. These were actuarial estimates. The practice of discussing those was stopped because it looked like politicians were planning on killing people with each new bridge or public works.
Doing anything carries with it the prospect that a percentage of the participants will die. Accidents, old age, and acts of God have a mathematical probability. Several years ago, I calculated the number of people who died in the city where I live on any given day. I don’t recall the number, but it was a startlingly large one. Mostly, they were natural causes. The older the population, the higher the number. At one point, 5000 people from the World War II generation were dying each and every day.
“It has been a known fact that during doctor’s strikes fewer people die.”
I recall that happening decades ago — in India, I think. Doctors went on strike. Mortality rate decreased.
