Chronic illness was also a leading indicator of COVID-19 hospitalization, with about 87% of those treated for the virus in L.A. County from last August to January having at least one comorbidity.

So, if you have high blood pressure or diabetes you should not get the experimental vaccine? Have they issued a list of warnings to indicate what preconditions should red flag getting the experimental vaccine?

I really don’t know how useful these statistics are.

49% of Americans have hypertension or take hypertension medicine.

Almost 50% of Americans are obese. (Obesity is measured using the Body Mass Index, and imo the BMI calculator is calibrated so low as to be ridiculous but nevertheless that is the measurement).

16% of Americans have diabetes.

The stats are on the CDC website: https://www.cdc.gov/nchs/fastats/diabetes.htm
Just click on the button on the left by disease state and the stats will appear on the page.

While they do cite the percentage of hospitalized patients who were 'obese' (36%), they don't say what percentage of the dead were obese. The lowest cited co-morbidity for death was 'chronic renal failure' at 16%. I can't believe obesity was lower than that considering the numbers that have been published nationally and globally. I wonder if this is simply an oversight the health department or something else.

Earlier this year, CDC published a study that found '78% of people who have been hospitalized, needed a ventilator or died from Covid-19 have been overweight or obese.'

Why African continent has been immune for the most part. Skinny and 40% of population is younger than 17.

Africas population is going to triple by 2100. They will take over all of Europe through migration.

Thanks for posting this.

Was the neurologic disease a stroke or dementia?

“A neurologic disease was the fourth-leading preexisting condition, noted among 21% of those who died.”

As an aside, I hope that every Freeper who reads this gets their BP checked, at least twice per year. I neglected mine for years and it was clocked up to the mid 200s on a covid check last August. It’s been damaging my kidneys for years, all because I ignored checkups. I dodged a heart attack and dialysis - barely! I don’t want anyone else to make my mistake!

It’d be shocking if there weren’t since most Americans have one or both.
