You know what you have when you have hundreds of anecdotal reports showing the same thing?

Clinical data.

We moved back into our local town of roughly 7k in early Jan 2020 that has a fairly big hospital that services a population area of roughly 20k we had previously lived in this town for ten years and a life flight helicopter coming into town was such a rare event when we lived here previously that my kids and I would all run out of the house to watch it as we were just blocks from the hospital... beginning in the spring of 2021 and up through late summer/early fall of 2022 the amount of ambulances and helicopter flights that would come in literally reached such a crescendo that we became numb to them until the life flight in Aug of 2022 ended up being my best friend dying of a 'massive unusual clot' /heart attack at 43 even tho she had the heart attack literally a mile from the hospital and I had to hold her 10&12 year olds in my arms half the day while they waited for the horrible news.... I'm a stay at home Mom and literally am at home all but maybe 10-15 hours a week max and we went from hearing maybe 1 life flight a month to many times a week multiple times a day... The obituaries around here have been littered with ppl between teens to 50's saying they died unexpectedly but a huge amount of those ppl have been in their 30-40's ...I know of two ppl in my small church alone that had massive heart attacks in the last 2 plus years that were 39 and 43 and one of the two died, multiple people in their 50s and 60s with me onset heart issues without any indication prior, tons I mean tons of pregnancy and infant complications, many miscarriages, several very high fetal age stillbirths, unable to get pregnant, many with full blown eclampsia, we have at least 3 ppl in their 20's that regularly pass out multiple times a week that can't get neuro or cardio consults for 3-9 months
