If you read the article, it says that John Eyers has asthma. It is he whose sister was quoted saying how fit he was. This is a respiratory disease so I am thinking asthma might be a big deal. Who knows what the situation was with the other two fellows.

Asthma is a serious problem combined with the ChiCom Virus at any age. Worse is obesity which is atop the list of ways to be felled when coupled with the virus.
So obesity is no. 1 and asthma is actually further down the list. When you have people with multiple issues, it’s a serious risk.
For those people, taking precaution is very important.
Asthma is a big killer. People with asthma cannot usually get life insurance.
A woman I know, in Sydney, had a grown up daughter, a vibrant healthy woman in her 20s. One day she went home sick. Her mother called an ambulance, when the daughter was struggling to breathe. She died before they arrived. The cause of death was a collapsed lung. Apparently, she had undiagnosed asthma.
This was about 10 years ago. If that happened now, I think it could well be attributed to Covid.
