Should be a wakeup call to anyone with "comorbidities" - ie living an unhealthy life. If you are overweight, have heart disease, diabetes etc, you should be doing everything you can to correct it. If they can release a disease that targets you, shouldn't you be taking every chance you have at fighting back?

It is your personal responsibility to be healthy. If you are religious (christian) understand that Christ likened the body to a temple - would you desecrate the temple of God? Then why do you treat your own body like a trash heap?
