Vaccination?

Any two of the conditions you listed often have a cascade effect on the human body and they can cause multiple conditions that would qualify as a co-morbidity.

These things can be obvious or difficult to see but within a complex system like our bodies it makes the “cytokine storm” and damage potentially much worse.

In a simplistic sense, death from covid is not so much about what the “virus” is doing in our bodies but what our bodies are doing to try and combat the “virus”.

Comorbidity and its Impact on Patients with COVID-19

Clinical Characteristics Confirmed and reported cases of COVID-19 have a wide range of symptoms from mild complaints, such as fever and cough, to more critical cases associated with difficulty in breathing [7]. Some of the most common symptoms include cough, fever, chills, shortness of breath (SOB), muscle aches, sore throat, unexplained loss of taste or smell, diarrhea, and headache [8]. Symptoms can start as mild and become more intense over 5 to 7 days, worsening if pneumonia develops in patients [8]. Approximately, 1 out of 6 infected individuals become seriously ill and develop difficulty in breathing, especially in the elderly with underlying health conditions [9].

A meta-analysis study of COVID-19 patients, as depicted in Fig. 1, showed fever (88.8%) as the most common symptom, followed by dry cough (68%) and fatigue (33%) [10]. Other symptoms noted were productive cough (28.5%), SOB (17%), muscle pain (14.4%), sore throat (11.4%), and headache (10.2%) [10]. The least common symptoms were diarrhea (4.4%), nausea and vomiting (4.1%), rhinorrhea (3.2%), abdominal pain (0.16%), and chest pain (0.11%) [10].

#4-Age. Anybody over 65 is a comorbidity. I’m not buying that one. There are a lot of healthy over 65’s around.

I guess you can’t include pneumonia as a “co-morbidity”, but the pneumonia is one of the real killers whether flu or rona.
