Concerns not being addressed by media:

Comorbidity and comortality:

Aside from the age range issues, millions of Americans have diseases or conditions which, many years ago, would be life-threatening, but now are reasonably under control via medications including chemotherapy for cancers. These diseases may well be exacerbated in an individual who becomes extremely ill. It is a fact that statistically there will be more serious illness and certainly more deaths because of the superimposition of this new entity. No one has discussed the relative dangers of specific diseases because we do not yet know and will not know for a long while. This is most concerning to me.

1. You're not talking just about people crowded out of hospitals, are you?

You mean adding covid19 on top of what they're already dealing with, right?

2. Really bad news

Especially for those on chemo, but heart issues, lung issues also.
