Apparently in Italy 99% of those who died from the virus suffered from other illnesses. Only three deaths so far are attributed to people with no known underlying health issues.

From the article

More than 75% had high blood pressure, about 35% had diabetes and a third suffered from heart disease.

The average age of those who’ve died from the virus in Italy is 79.5. As of March 17, 17 people under 50 had died from the disease. All of Italy’s victims under 40 have been males with serious existing medical conditions.

Great so only those in the US with high blood pressure, diabetes and heart disease will perish. Hope you don't know anyone with any of those issues.

40% of the American population over the age of 50 has high blood pressure. Just fyi.

I am on hypertension medication and my blood pressure is normal. Does that mean that I am "normal" or still considered one with high blood pressure?

You are still considered high risk. Pre-existing hypertension (including those on medication) was present in 75% of the deaths in Italy where co-morbities were known

A young (20’s) family member of ours just got it. Extremely mild, like not-so-bad flu.

Tested positive? How'd they get a test if it was mild?

Can you quote the flu statistics too (for comparison)?

For the 1000th time this is not the FLU. Just stop.

Fox has pivoted from “its the same as the flu” to “malaria medicine will save us and Big Brain Trump is saying this and he’s smarter than doctors.”
Which is false: there are heart side effects and so far little proof it will work (so DO NOT TRY THIS without a doctor’s order.)

So that’s probably why in threads here, the FLU thing is fading out (though you do get it sometimes) and the MALARIA MEDICATION WILL SAVE US is ramping up.

In either case it requires debunking. Good for you for saying this.

Ugh, bad news for us all.

Recent studies have shown the same — that young people can be asymptomatic carriers, who carry a deadly sickness to their grandparents.

Agree. The flu is spread out over many months (fall to spring). We know it’s coming every year and every year we prepare. CV19 is NOVEL meaning new. This means we don’t know how many it will kill, how many will catch it, how long it will last, etc... BIG difference.

Also to the flu stat demander.

Flu stats are modeled--they are not stats based on tests that actually have been done. The coronavirus case numbers are confirmed, not estimated like the flu numbers. There have been a number of models of the estimating coronavirus cases and some of these are in the millions.

Parents are ‘fancy’, if you will. Don’t really want to say for their privacy.

Well, that’s great. My 15 yr old son was diagnosed with Type 1 Diabetes 2 weeks ago. I’m still going to work (at a bank) because I need the health insurance to pay for his insulin. I’ve been wearing gloves and washing my hands like crazy. I fluctuate between thinking I should stay home to protect him and being scared of losing my job.

I don't know but I just want to point out that the flu is pretty dang deadly and we really don't want another flu-like illness on top of it.

And since we are on the topic of the flu:

“It first struck me how different it was when I saw my first coronavirus patient go bad. I was like, Holy shit, this is not the flu. Watching this relatively young guy, gasping for air, pink frothy secretions coming out of his tube.”

The article linked above is terrifying.

I posted this is a separate thread, but it like like the doom and gloom forecasters were right: the death rate, not just the infection rate, is increasing exponentially in the US.
