Of the 16,966 deaths in New York since the first mortality on March 14:
60% were men, 40% were women
84% of the deaths were age 60 and older
No matter the age, COVID-19 is a serous illness for many people with underlying chronic disease.
15,114 (89%) of those who died had at least one chronic disease, with the top three identified being:
Hypertension - 65% (was 64%)
Diabetes - 42%
Hyperlipidemia - 24%

I want to know morbidity for those under 65.
They largely don’t die. But are they left seriously ill long term?
Nobody wants to talk about that, they focus on ‘mortality’ as if that’s the only thing of concern.
