It’s like I said in some other thread.
I’ve had Diabetes and heart disease for 10 years. Totally manageable, no problem. Well except for that second heart attack, but that was my fault for being a cheapskate.
I’m in pretty good shape for someone with that medical history.
If I go to the hospital with CCP-19, asymptomatic or not, and I die, it wasn’t the Diabetes or heart disease that killed me.
It was dah CCP-19.
Maybe. Maybe not. That’s why cause of death is supposed to be determined by autopsy
"I am 71 years old, with asthma and insulin resistance (pre diabetic). I have lived with asthma for most of my life. I know when I have breathing difficulty and how to treat it. My insulin resistance started about 5 years ago. I control it through diet (Keto low carb). I take my blood glucose readings at least 4 times per day.
I exercise regularly, 3-4 times per week.
Given my conditions, I still consider myself to be in good shape physically. One of my hobbies is wildlife photography. I am planning a trip to Canada in November for polar bear photos.
Given my personal situation, I am definitely high risk WRT COVID-19. If I were to get the virus, I would have a mortality rate in excess of 25%. If I also have an asthma attack at the same time, then I would probably die.
Given the situation above, it is my strong belief that COVID-19 would be the cause or a contributing factor. In either case, it should be included in the COVID-19 deaths."
