I do not think you can say that. Specially in the light of the statistics.I would say we aren't in a high risk group,

I do not think you can say that. Specially in the light of the statistics.
Getting CORVID-19 infection killed 0.4% of healthy people under 50
Getting CORVID-19 infection killed 9.2% of people that had diabetes.
Problem with those stats is that there are no age adjusted statistics of the diabetes patients. I tried to apply the curve of healthy people's age distribution curve to it and I got something like 4.6% for under 50 with diabetes. So I guess under 40 might be half of that, or not, I guess like 2.3% vs 0.2% of healthy.
So I GUESSED!! that it might be something like 11-times more deadly for diabetes. With error margin on 100%
Then "diabetes" is a quite large and broad spectrum. And I would guess age distribution of diabetes paties does not exactly match the normal population trend , specially given that the T2 much rarer the youger population.
So I GUESS CORVID-10 is about 10-times worse for us But then again everything is. Even the normal flu, I think, is in average about 10 times more deadly to us.
Strange thing was the having multiple of the risk conditions did not see add up risk that much. Average I think was 13% as where any of the two risk factors percentages alone would sum up to average or 18%. So having multiple conditions does not worsen chances that much.
Still Diabetes based on pure statistics seem to be the second most highest rick factor with CORVID-19.
Slightly off topic, but my Grandad used to say there are lies, **** lies and statisticsThe statistics mean nothing without a breakdown of types, control levels, complications (existing or not), ages and other underlying conditions.

Yes, we are at a higher risk than the general, healthy public but that does not mean we are weak or unable to fight things off. Our immune systems are already compromised in some way due to the condition but again, I say if you keep yourself healthy in all other ways by diet/exercise/not smoking/exercise and so on and whatever else you are able to do, then this *may* raise our chances up to a similar level to everyone else. Let's face it, many categories of people are 'at risk', whether elderly/unfit/bad eaters/smokers or even a general propensity to catching things. My own philosophy is to take care of myself as best as I can (like everyone else) but I DO accept that I probably have to do a bit more than some young, very fit 20 year old. x
A 21 year girl has now died of coronavirus, but as yet, not known of any underlying health condition, even so, just 21 and heartbreaking

So I will go to work and take every precaution I can.
TEN !!The Australian government has just announced it has released a Coronavirus - Australia app with all updated data etc.
https://www.abc.net.au/news/2020-03...t-launches-coronavirus-australia-app/12100680
They also announced no more than ten people in a household at any one time, but I cannot find a link for that as it was a ABC radio station notification.
Could always do your own but not like these guys I suggest.So, no haircuts then
