New study looked at STEMI activations (acute heart attacks that require a balloon angioplasty and stent placement), and found that across 9 high volume cardiac cath centers, STEMI activations are down almost 40%.

Some speculation as to why in the article. Not mentioned... maybe COVID-19 prevents heart attacks.
