I know you're the data guy, so apologies-but anecdotally I do personally know/ or known personally to my close circle of friends/ family - at least six, and potentially a couple more people with new onset Parkinsons recently.
a friend's house- seller, a lawyer friend's mum, a conductor I know and worked with, an instrument maker friend i know, another close friend's mum, a close friend's neighbour. then there was Jeremy Paxman ( journalist/ presenter- and there was a whole article in a Sunday mag recently with he and several people his generation all talking about their Parkinsons. (Jonathan Sumption was on our Board, not sure if what he has is Parkinsons or when it started.)
I know 14 people with strokes and clots, 22 with heart issues ( one age 35, a few in 40s), attacks, arrhythmia(3), sudden death including a 30y/o and several people at work,; 17 with cancer returned or aggressive, 13 neurological- including worsening ms, parkinsons, vertigo, falls, tinnitus, muscle fatigue, 2 died after strep or chest infection, 3 ear infections with ears bleeding, 6 gynae including 2 with worsening endometriosis,5 kidneys/ diabetes, a transverse myelitis, osteophytes (2), orchiditis (1), elderly losing use of legs, 3 amputees, 3 hairloss plus hairdresser's clients, repeated covids, back issues including 4 osteoporotic stress fractures, and 2 with sudden high BP, as well as whooping cough/ scarlets fever, strep, tonsillitis, in kids and a couple of babies, man in health shop " 5 colds in 5 months" etc; lots of low platelets/ low haemoglobin in friends, 4 friends have leukaemia at the same time, one has died. At least 6 colleagues just in my section ( music) have died young, suddenly. one was suicide. I hear every week about another colleagues mum having a heart attack and stroke, or a heart attack, or their aunt dying, ( or having " bleeding down there"- at 90 😱), or being found dead at 51, or 50s with " a couple of heart attacks" or 30 in bed, "cause unknown", or a well known colleague having myeloma or myocarditis- whichever one she has, its bad.
And I have a notebook and I am taking notes. Paying close attention.
