We have all heard it, we all expected it, but a survey of one health network's cases in NYC showed vast majority of the corona hospitalizations and majority of deaths had comorbidities, namely hypertension and obesity.
5700 patients in Northwell Health system had their records reveiwed as part of a study. They found median age of 63, 52% had hypertension, 42% were obese in those patients whose BMI was calculated, 32% had diabetes.
Vast majority of those folks that went on ventilators died (their number was 88%) and the majority (it didnt' give a number) of those had diabetes.

These are just numbers, hard to take anything away from the numbers game. Not trying to take away form the fact people were sick and died, thats not what I am saying here.

But the numbers clearly show comorbidities are bad news for those with COVID-19. The study did not say whether these people were well treated or poorly treated htn, DM, or what-not, just the existence of the comorbidity was a factor.

Bottom line, be as healthy as you can be but genetics and lifestyle do play a role in how you die.

Get out of here with your facts lol! If people believed this effected their health then they would have to take personal responsibility for their dietary and life style decisions and we all know how popular that is in today’s society. Btw I am 6’2 290 so not some skinny punk preaching to fat people.

I posted up something similar a few weeks ago ant got trolled.

I think emotions have calmed somewhat, and more info has come out. The picture is getting clearer.

Has anyone heard if warmer weather has had any effects on the virus.

We've had a 95 year old female who was admitted about 2 weeks ago after a positive Covid test. She was asymptomatic for several days, then developed respiratory distress. Tested and found pneumonia, but it was bacterial, not viral. Treated the pneumonia in the usual way and she's being discharged today.

Good info

Another twist to this thing. WOW!

Democratic and media driven from the beginning as I have said before. The Dumocrats are so butt hurt for not winning 2016, and media is in there back pocket. God bless the USA and President Donald Trump!

I volunteered to be the canary in the cave on another thread.

We only care about Aoudads in caves not canary’s

well, i've lost 30lbs but still fit in your poll as far as overweight.


BUT


fat people with diabetes may get it easier


BUT


some a-hole without a mask could infect them


i'll continue to distance, wear my mask and avoid a-holes

I just say no to mask...... my body my choice......lol

My bad. Make that a canary in a coal mine

SA, I have not heard anything specific about that and I don't know if it will pan out as a promise for the future. But we will see as the spring progresses. Tarrant county had new 100+ cases over the last 24 hrs, and while this may be testing bias, we have been previously relatively slow to grow, so I don't know that it is all testing bias.

Why do you think they are having the NFL draft in someone's basement tonight?

Probably because you are skinny

Run that same data in New Orleans and it would likely be close to 100%

And now you’re trolling every thread about how you get trolled for called out for post count. Good job, Bill.

You got it backwards......it's not hard for you to stay away from people without masks..........I'm not wearing a mask........because I think with my brain........unless you grown your own food and water if this is as infectious as they claim and you believe your mask is not going to help you IMO, but wear that mask with pride if if helps you control your fear..........

My health problems are not from life style but Agent Orange, all diagnosed as Agent Orange connected, from blood pressure to diabetes tp heart issues. If I croak with Covid 19, did the virus kill me or the underlying health issues Either way I would still be dead, but if the cause of death is the underlying issues of Agent Orange, the VA pays off like a slot machine to my surviving wife.

No but I am hearing that October will be a heck of a month and things should be clearing up after November 3rd.

Haha - I'm with you on that!

Thank you for your service.

DHS Undersecretary of something had charts indicating both temp & humidity and UV rays kill the virus very quickly.

So, I called Trump up and asked him myself. Apparently he had someone up to explain yesterday, and yes the warmer temps, and humidity will slow this virus down. So there will be pause during the summer months.
