[QUOTE="zibi1, post: 2264297, member: 26651"] Taking the right precautions is the right thing to do, primarily to help the spread of the virus. But it remains the case that for some age groups mortality is very very low indeed. You are also correct in pointing out that after adjusting for other conditions the 3.5 number is lower. I should also add that people with diabetes (at least Type 1, which is my type) have always been at risk of worse outcomes from all sorts of diseases, starting with the flu - which is the reason why we get a free jab every year I suppose. I believe (I might be wrong) that the increased risk of death from Covid for Type 1s is not higher than the seasonal flu, pneumonia etc. Mind you, I'm talking about the increased risk, not mortality rate, which for Covid is clearly higher than the flu.
