I don't know how many of those there are. I do know lots of hospital doctors are saying there aren't the usual number of heart attack/stroke/diabetes/etc admissions and they are expecting poor outcomes for those patients. I suppose occupations with a high accident rate, eg construction, will have dropped numbers.
I have a friend who is due some heart disease tests which have been cancelled. I assume a proportion of people having that test would be found to have something which needs to be 'fixed' which isn't happening and so they will die.
But again it depends what you want the numbers for. Do you want to work out the number of additional deaths caused by the crisis or do you want to understand the infection rate?
