BttF is the same thing. Karate Kid as well.
Die Hard is at least twice a year on average.

Was this ever SUPER clear to be a lone result - or did it accelerate or modify existing problems?
I'm not sure I've seen anyone die from "heart disease" related to COVID that didn't already have a heart issue. It's a fuzzy area at best.
