Coronavirus outbreak

[Rocky]

Obesity, diabetes, smoking are risk factors affecting younger Americans?

But I think it is a little early to say that these are the major risk factors for a poor prognosis. The research has not yet been done. One paper (in the Lancet) has been published on 191 Chinese patients. It is way too soon to say that this is what is going on in the west or the US.

Asking do we find these meeting useful...FFS.

He was asking his journalist buddies, not us.

Claiming to be able to turn the tide makes me think he really believes he's a royal daffodil

I actually used the proper spelling for Canute but autocorrupt intervened.

Amazing "information".
Just one question.
How are you privy to this info/fact?
Do please elaborate, including source.

I assume the filter eats daffodil but what about Canute?

40% of hospitalisations in the USA are 20-54 years old. Interesting compared to the data from other countries so far. This has come from the US centre for disease Control (CDC).

They do have a bad public health record so more detail on the figures is needed for a real like for like compare.

Yes, I spotted that!

Aye, by 400 rats.

Accent of a second class Churchill reading the script of a second class David Brent!

Contrast with Nicola Sturgeon or Leo Varadker !

Clear concise presentation of the facts as they know them.
If they don't know , they look at the camera and say so.

Meanwhile in Downing Street....

I agree - we simply don't know. It may be that people who have died have a genetic predisposition and that overall health has little bearing. The other data coming from the medical staff who died, is that in treating patients they took on a heavy viral load. It may be the level of exposure to the virus that is the determining factor.

It's very easy to blame things on people with a low level of fitness but I don't think the evidence supports this.

This is what the public wanted. A clown rather than a serious politician.

as has been said multiple health reasons even in the young, when I was in the USA last the overweight people and the cheap food with huge portions sizes, sadly I’m not surprised to see younger people on the list.
