Diabetes, Lung Disease, Cancer, Immunodeficiency, Heart Disease, Hypertension, Asthma, Kidney Disease, and GI/Liver Disease.
What percent of the population has one of these underlying conditions? Thatās a huge risk pool.

Needless to say some of these overlap in which people have more than one. Without the use of google because I know someone is searching right now in order to answer your question, the percentage could very well be 20%- 25% of the country.

Thatās my point, and there is also a large pool of people in which those conditions are as yet undiagnosed.
Having only one of those doesnāt put you in the highest levels of risk; it barely elevates you above the average.
Read whatās posted and the studies that have been done so far on co morbidity factors.
No there isnāt. Most of those require medical mgmt or you become a frequent flier at the ER.
Only one of those includes people who are frequently undiagnesed until it becomes serious which is hypertension which would be discovered on your first trip to the Dr or ER for treatment of the others.
Well, youāre just wrong about that.
Then by all means show me to be wrong with actual facts instead of your usual load of nothing.
How about you show your work for once .

Wait.
This is the data I have been looking for.
In NYC of 6839 fatalities there were 137 with no known underlying medical conditions.
Let that sink in for a while.
Only 2% of fatal cases were of people with no known medical issue.
Yes it would be nice instead of asking others to prove a negative
For once?
If you want to argue those conditions donāt require medical management by all means give it your best effort.
Hypertension untreated is a death sentence.
Diabetes untreated is a death sentence.
COPD is a death sentence with or without treatment but treatment extends your life by years or decades.
Which of these conditions putting people at high risk donāt require medical management?
Sounds about right. Unfortunately they wonāt be autopsied to see what actually killed them unless there were suspicious circumstances surrounding their deaths.

It isnāt a negative.
These are among the leading causes of death in the US even if you have only one of them.
Hey buddy, I work in Oregon. Thereās next to nothing being shut down. The State isnāt really enforcing anything. The governor is just trying to get some face time, as usual. State police have already stated publicly they arenāt going to go out and arrest people for violating her stay at home order. They donāt have the resources, for a start.

across the country leftist mayors and governors are taking advantage of this playing out their total ādo as i sayā leftist dictator fantasies
i would hope itād be a wake up call for anyone who doubted what the communist loving left is all about
Seriously, Iāve been driving between Vancouver WA and Tualatin OR for work for well over a month since the COVID stuff started. 45 min commute even with the lighter traffic (usually its twice that) and I havenāt been pulled over once, in either State. And even if I did, I got a special pass from my employer giving me clearance to be on the road. But like I said, Iāve never been pulled over in order to need to use it.
