[QUOTE="Brunneria, post: 2262093, member: 41816"] it is in no way surprising that approx 25% of C-19 deaths are people with diabetes. The majority of C-19 deaths are over 60yrs, and the % of the population with diabetes is around 25% at that age and above. I would actually go so far as to say that this piece of information counts as ‘fake news’ and is only being spread by journalists who are too ignorant of the subject to make any sensible contribution to the debate.
