An article highlighting all the comorbidities – remember the data shows you can have 1 but if you have multiple the odds shift exponentially to fatality…. https://www.popsci.com/story/health/covid-19-coronavirus-risk-factors-severe/

“COVID-19 patients have 90-times higher risk of hospitalization if they are between the ages of 65-74 as compared to 18-29 year olds.”

“According to the CDC, currently having cancer of any kind puts you at risk of a severe case of COVID-19. Whether or not risks are higher for people with a history of cancer is still up in the air. In two Lancet studies, somewhere between 13 and 28 percent of COVID-19 patients who had cancer died.”

“Chronic kidney disease is when your kidneys, which normally filter wastes, toxins, and excess fluid out of your blood, can no longer get the job done. Excess fluid and waste in the bloodstream put a patient at risk of heart disease and stroke, according to the CDC. In the worst-case scenarios, a patient will need dialysis or a kidney transplant. The most at-risk kidney disease patients for COVID-19 are those who are immunosuppressed due to a transplant, or who do in-center hemodialysis treatments multiple times a week.”

“Having COPD, including emphysema and chronic bronchitis, puts you at a higher risk of developing a severe case of COVID-19. In one analysis of 1,590 Chinese ICU patients, 62.5 percent of severe cases had a history of COPD and 25 percent of those who died were COPD patients. In non-severe cases, COPD patients made up 15 percent, and of surviving patients, they made up only three percent.”

“Having a BMI of 30 or higher puts a patient at a higher risk of a severe case of COVID-19. Studies have shown that more than 75 percent of hospitalized COVID-19 patients were overweight or obese, and that compared to peers with a “healthy” BMI, they had a higher chance of ICU visits or death.”

“Patients with heart failure and other serious heart diseases are at risk of struggling with a complicated or severe case of COVID-19. Respiratory complications from the disease can force the heart to work harder. The virus can also attack the heart directly, which puts these patients at higher risk of complications, according to Scripps Hospital.”

“Sickle cell disease puts you at a higher risk of a serious case of COVID-19. One study found that 69 percent of people with sickle cell disease who were infected with COVID-19 were hospitalized, 11 percent were admitted to the intensive care unit, and 7 percent died, all of which are higher than the general population’s rate.”

“Patients with type two diabetes are at a higher risk of experiencing a dangerous case of COVID-19. Poor glucose control, the hallmark of diabetes, can lead to all sorts of issues with the kidney, heart, liver, and nervous system. In one study, patients with type two diabetes and COVID-19 infections suffered a death rate of 260 per 100,000, which is double the fatality rate of those with type one diabetes and nearly 10 times higher than that of patients without diabetes.”

“CF patients are less likely to catch the disease at all, since these patients are likely to already practice social distancing due to their high risk of catching dangerous lung infections.”

“High blood pressure, especially if not managed with medication and a careful lifestyle, can put a person at a higher risk of severe COVID-19. One study has found that hypertension patients have twice as much risk of death from COVID-19 as those without the disease, and those who are not currently taking medication for hypertension put themselves at even greater risk.”

“Dementia likely does not add to the risk of COVID-19 in and of itself, according to the Alzheimer’s Association.”

“mortality was significantly higher in cirrhosis patients with COVID-19 than those hospitalized for bacterial infections.”

“Lancet study in the UK shows that patients with type one were at less risk than those with type two, and more research is needed.”

The US leads but still under 1K

New leader for the US Missouri 129

Miami-Dade FL still leads all counties at 22 – Missouri just has multiple county reporting for it to lead all US.

Even though Miami-Dade and/or LA typically lead all US counties they are dropping in deaths – confirmation is holding steady now for both. LA is at 12.5% confirmed per capita – this seems like a herd immunity in effect even though they have lockdowns – clearly not working. Miami-Dade is only 6.6% so there is a lot more confirmations that could happen for Miami-Dade.

UK is confirming 15500 per day on 7 day moving avg. with a fatality rate of 1.3% – which is significantly better than back in March which was over 10% – but nonetheless death are rising now 61 deaths per day compared to peak of 943.
