[QUOTE="Draco16, post: 2268212, member: 467776"] Hi, this statement seems to be confusing a few different things. Those recent findings (2x and 3.5x) came from the large dataset UK study in hospitals (Paper linked again below) not sure why the references to China and ICU? The key UK study finding again: "People with Type 1 diabetes have 3·5 (95% CI 3·15-3·89) times the odds, and people with Type 2 diabetes 2·0 (9% CI 1·97-2·09) times the odds, of dying in hospital with COVID-19, compared to the population without known diabetes, independent of age, sex, socioeconomic status and ethnicity" Deaths in hospital do represent the majority of coronavirus deaths in the UK. Deaths outside of hospital (vast yes, but a minority), we don't yet know: maybe the 2x and 3.5x ratios are not the same.
