Possibly. Read somewhere (can’t remember where) that having too much glycated hemoglobin makes the virus easier to catch and more virulent. Poorly controlled diabetes causes lots of glycated hemoglobin.
An interesting study would be to compare outcomes in poorly- controlled diabetics vs. well-controlled diabetics. I imagine most of the dead diabetics had poor control.
I have to acknowledge some personal prejudice here. Decades ago I knew his father William, a deeply unpleasant man, some of whose characteristics the son has picked up and further polished. Everything about the man is fake: the voice, the diction, the assumed toffery, the clothes, the elaborate courtesy - the only genuine thing about him is the condescension. As for intellect, I’ve yet to find an original thought in anything he says or writes.
Agreed. I wonder what criteria would be for used to define poorly v well controlled diabetes.

Israel and Benjamin Netanyahu are in on it too.”
I’m willing to entertain the idea that our enemies have gotten to one of Trump’s allies to support my first citation from your post, but unless you missed typing an /s, would you please provide something that supports the second sentence?
David Lloyd George did during the Spanish Flu epidemic. He nearly died but it was hushed up and the public was told it was merely a mild “chill”.
