True. This is not some huge revelation. Multiple comorbidities helps Covid kill. But the more subtle reality is the old have comorbidities. You just won’t find many old folks who have none. It’s very rare, thin or fat.
There is a blurb out there . . . something like 68% of people over 65 take 3 or more pills each day. And it becomes 85% by age 70.
The young need to get recalibrated. This is not an issue of unhealthy dying by the virus. It is an issue of the old dying by the virus.
I should also mention that the state of Pennsylvania published a list of the comorbidities most likely to be present in Covid deaths.
1) Dementia
2) Hypertension
3) Diabetes
4) Cancer
5) Congestive Heart Failure
6) Obesity
Fat didn’t even make the top 5.
