[QUOTE="Bill_St, post: 2215276, member: 310899"] Very little has been said about the particular risks of Coronavirus to PWD. We often read that the risk of death with Coronavirus is "only" 2%, with critical illness about 10% But then we read that most of those suffering serious effects have pre-existing conditions. 80% have a pre-existing condition. In effect, if you have a pre-existing condition then the risk of death is increased to around 10%; risk of critical illness increased to around 40% if you "catch" Coronavirus. The medical term for these increases in morbidity (death rates) is comorbidity. Medical papers have been written on the prime condition which creates concern and we can read them by searching for Coronavirus Comorbid. Trouble is that COVID 2019 is too new for particular research papers to have been written - however we get a fairly accurate picture by looking at two "older", more researched Coronaviruses, SARS and MERS. These are very similar to COVID, indeed many medical professionals objected to the name COVID, saying that it should be called SARS2 as they are so similar. We can find out just what those pre-existing conditions are - and which is the prime concern. It is Diabetes - both T1 & T2 [URL]http://grantome.com/grant/NIH/F32-AI136390-01A1?fbclid=IwAR3x9YiBUVNRdc_fnGoJI-mnOb_gcQ0k6JbZtaPojB2JYc5NUCo-w67PZH4[/URL] [URL]https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC6824443/[/URL] [URL]https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC6357155/[/URL] [URL]https://www.ecdc.europa.eu/en/factsheet-health-professionals-coronaviruses[/URL] [URL]https://asprtracie.hhs.gov/technical-resources/44/coronavirus-sars-mers-2019-ncov/27[/URL] [/QUOTE]
