Re: “I wonder how many of the “younger” Wuhan virus victims are pot smokers.”

I have the data for Washington state, which has had medical marijuana since 1998, and legal recreational marijuana since 2012.

We have tested 74,798 high risk individuals - from all age groups. High risk means known exposure, travel history, or obvious symptoms.

We have 5,984 test confirmed COVID-19 infections and 247 fatalities - from all age groups.

28% of COVID-19 infections are under age 40.

Just one death out of 247 was under age 40.

When our schools and universities were shut down - about 2.5 weeks ago - not one student in the state had tested positive.

I guess all those WA nursing homes looked like scenes from Up In Smoke. /s

Thanks for that but those numbers don’t screen for pot smokers. The age range for pot smokers will cover all but the oldest ages and the youngest ones will be the ones with the least lung damage. The reason I wonder is because early on there was some indication that people who already had lung damage (from smoking or air pollution) were more likely to develop pneumonia.
