Scrounging around, I found some information that points to an answer about age v comorbidities and COVID-19.
As the 'deaths' numbers go up with age, the percentage of those 'deaths' with commodities stays more or less the same. That means that comorbidities go up with age, and seem to be the biggest risk factor, not age per se.
If age alone was a factor, the percent of people dying with comorbidities would be going down as age goes up, because they would be dying of COVID-19 + age alone.
That graph doesn't take into account that a lot of people just live with problems and/or don't
regularly go to the doctor for yearly visits at all if ever. Especially when they're under 50.
Also, unless you're a fat sack of shit, it's highly unlikely that those 35 or under would even
be expected to have a comorbidity if they've never gone to the doctor to get something checked out.
(You DID after all, just make a point last night to tell me that I probably have problems that
I'm not aware of yet due to smoking even if I don't' realize it, didn't you?)
It's extremely likely that 100% of those deaths 50 years and below were due to comorbidities that
weren't known. The number might fall after 50 years old, but probably not. Most people in their 60's
and above DO have at least one of the things considered a comorbidity.
(Using me, as an example, if I were to die of Covid, I would be one of those who died without any comorbidities. Yeah, I smoke... But "smoking" isn't a valid cause of death. I don't have high blood
pressure, I'm not obese, I've never had cancer. They would list me as dying without any comorbidities.
But maybe I do have early stages of COPD or some other smoking related ailment that has never been diagnosed before.)
It's not exactly as if everybody has the free time to test for comorbidities posthumously since
everybody is supposedly overworked as it is. They're more than happy to just mark it down as
another Covid death and continue to bump those numbers to get the additional Federal money.
I'm saying it right now. I don't believe that anybody dies from Covid unless they had other major
health problems beforehand, regardless of age. The one scary thing about this might be that their
comorbidities were "under control" with pills or other treatment and Covid adds something new
to the mix rendering the treatments for other problems moot. (THIS would actually be the first thing
I've ever heard about Covid that would be scary. Imagine if getting Covid means that the countless
people on current Blood Pressure medications are not being helped out by those pills at all while
Covid jacks up their system).
Take a look at charts. For years... decades even, the US has come up extremely high on the lists
for being one of the most unhealthy nations on the planet. Maybe the higher death counts here can
mostly be attributed to our general BS lifestyles and terrible eating and physical habits, vices, etc.

Thanks for doing a SECOND and completely misrepresenting my post.
And apparently your 'genius' failed to comprehend the logic - as simple as it was.
So, of all the people who died of COIVD-19, most of them died in hospital. DO YOU THINK (a good question for you as well as SECOND) that their comorbidities weren't noticed? For all that their BPs were taken, that nobody noticed hypertension? For all that their blood chemistries were run, nobody noticed diabetes? Or kidney or liver disease? Nobody noticed any comorbidities at all and noted them? Or that pathologists/ medical examiners didn't notice those conditions either?
And, oh, BTW, DO YOU THINK that people with whited-out lungs, steadily falling to deadly hypoxemia, and on respirators with maximum settings, had COVID-19 listed as the cause of death just because they were in car accidents? Or ODed?
And DO YOU THINK that nobody younger than 50 has any known medical conditions?
What a dolt.
So let me make the point - AGAIN.
IF AGE ALONE IS A FACTOR, THEN OLDER PEOPLE SHOULD BE DYING OF AGE+COVID-19 AT INCREASED RATES AS AGE GOES UP. THAT DROPS THE PERCENTAGE OF THOSE WHO DIE WITH COMORBIDITIES AS AGE GOES UP.
But that's not what the data shows.
I apologize to everyone for starting a thread to keep track of COVID-19, and driving JACKAREN over the edge with too much reality.

Apparently your hospitals in California do a whole bunch of frills and unnecessary bullshit.
It's very easy to assume that comorbidities are missed around these parts. ESPECIALLY IN CROOK FUCKING COUNTY WHERE YOU POSTED A CHART FROM.
My Uncle got his bladder removed and a balloon inserted because of bladder cancer at Hynes hospital. One quarter of a million dollars on the taxpayer dime.
Whoopsie!
Turned out that he already had cancer all over his body and in his brain. Guess that's why the new bladder didn't take.
They could have just given him $25,000 and told him he had a few months to live and go to Disney world and saved Illinois taxpayers a bundle if they did some tests before jumping right to highly invasive surgery and making his last month to live something I wouldn't wish on Nilbog.
He spent his last three days looking like cross-eyed Christ on a cross and sitting in his own shit and piss.
Fuck Cook County. Fuck Cook County Medical "Professionals" hard.

DO YOU THINK that ALL of the stats out of multiple hundreds are all wrong?

Why on earth would you assume that you, personally, have anything to do with my thoughts on Covid.
I just get a great laugh at your paranoia about it.
You don't bring anything new to the conversation. You sound exactly like a CNN anchor when the topic comes up.
YOU are the one that changes YOUR behavior when Covid is the topic.

P.S. Sorry not sorry that I didn't stay up and indulge your idiocy all night.
