ATLANTA, Ga. (WJW) — The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention released new data last week that depicts how many Americans who have died from COVID-19 also had underlying medical conditions.

According to the report, only 6% of deaths have COVID-19 as the only cause mentioned, revealing that 94% of patients who died from coronavirus also had underlying health conditions.

And how many Americans still alive currently have underlying health conditions???

Don't you think that would be important to know before advocating for a reopening of the country???

Is it even possible to know how many have underlying health conditions until after they're already dead???

I would guess it's in the upper tens of millions.

I guess the report is a good argument for continuing safety protocols until there is a vaccine or effective therapeutic available.

I would think that if subject A knew he had underlying health conditions which could acerbate any respiratory illness caused by Covid19, it would be incumbent upon HIM to protect himself from an act of God instead of mandating that 7.8 BILLION PEOPLE do it for him under force of law.

Those are mostly the same people who are going to die during the flu season as well.
 
This is not news. I and many others have been saying this since the very early days. The people reported to have died from this may not have lived out the year without it.
 
The thing that debunks the "they would have died anyway" theory is the excess mortality rate in the United States.

What made (and makes) America more likely to be catastrophically impacted, is the number of diagnosed people walking around with comorbidities and the unknown number of people that are undiagnosed but still in the high risk category.

It's also worth noting that death isn't the only negative outcome from contracting Covid. Many who survive it have suffered damage to their internal organs that will negatively impact their quality of life going forward and will likely lead to a premature death in the relatively near future.
 
So fat people shouldn’t bother with seat belts because they might die in a few years due to obesity. Got it.

Especially the ones that have to have extended seatbelts to go around their massive bodies.

No, they should still buckle up. If thrown from the car they could hit a black person and crush them. Since black lives matter that would be a problem.

But how about this: Lets close all the highways for fat and thin people so that nobody dies in a car wreck. True billions would end up starving to death if that were done but why stand back and look at the big picture when this can be used to bash Trump?

The China virus is a political weapon. It feeds on panic and stupidity. Therefore it is effective due to a rich food supply.
 
Doesn't matter, it gives the (D)'s desire to totally and completely destroy the economies and communities they are in control of....because Orange Man BAD!!!

So they're going all the way with it.....let's hope they keep going. :cool:

But Adre's beloved government and the party of true altruism and perfection on Earth the (D)'s will feed everyone comrade!!

It's not like communist states have ever starved anyone, only evil reich winger capitalist would do that.

Shutting down the US economy FOREVER is the only way....if it saves just one life!!!

Right adre??? :D
 
I don't think that word means what you want it to mean.


Try "corpulent" instead, this IS a "literary site" after all.

It means precisely what I think it means.

The actual medical definition of morbid obesity is:

“A serious health condition that results from an abnormally high body mass that is diagnosed by having a body mass index (BMI) greater than 40 kg/m², a BMI of greater than 35 kg/m² with at least one serious obesity-related condition, or being more than 100 pounds over ideal body weight (IBW).”

And, of course, you have PROOF of your assertion of "morbid obesity" that you can share with the rest of the class, right?

Corpulent is a MUCH better word because it denotes exactly what you're trying to say without requiring physical proof necessary to fit the medical definition that requires A SPECIFIC DIAGNOSIS rather than "opinion" based on mere internet bitching because you can't figure out which end of your dick the pee comes out of.


But if you want to stick with your term; you go gurl. Ain't nobody gonna stop you from looking like a batshit asshole if you insist on it.
