Exactly, like this statistic matters. Hypertension is one underlying condition for Gods sake...

Clearly 22% - 26% don't, unless somehow they aren't included in "everyone"?

Actually, I think I recall Dr. Fauci responding to a question in one of the press conferences about the fact that something like 75% of American adults have some sort of 'underlying condition', but he made the point that most of them were controlling their conditions with medication or in some other way, so they would not amount to a 'condition' in this context.

The point being that the actual group of people who is truly at risk of a bad outcome from cronavirus is relatively small.

And what’s the average age?

Of everyone of Chinese Coronavirus patients?

If everyone in the US, about 38 years of age per the 2010 census.

In terms of coronavirus infections, we don't actually know the scope of infection yet and won't know until the retrospective. The deaths so far have been disproportionately affecting those over 65, but not everyone over 65 has existing issues unless you count age itself to be an ailment.

Also, I don’t see it being hidden. At this point in our evolution, we’re aware of these realities as it has become common knowledge.

that's probably consistent with the American population in general

diabetes, obesity, smoking/vaping, cardiovascular diseases, etc all add up to a pretty big number

I've heard a lot of discussion, not only about co-morbidities, but also about whether or not to count deaths as COVID-19 deaths or count the cause of death as the primary co-morbidity.

I think it is a different situation if an otherwise healthy 40 yo adult who is 30lbs overweight but in the obese category (for example a woman who is 5'4" and 175lbs) vs and 80 yr old with COPD, and recent heart failure. You have no expectation of the former passing within a few months, but the latter is likely severely compromised already.

If someone is "30 lbs. overweight but in the obese category" they are not "otherwise healthy."

And how many were driving too fast and drunk at the time?

Sorry, but Fauci and Brix are deep state tools with their fake models and tainted stats. After yesterday, I don't give them any acknowledgement whatsoever.

And I'm betting the others had undiagnosed medical issues OR were smokers/vapers and/or obese. Most people don't consider that extra 25 lbs obesity, but more Americans are in this category than you would think.

Member when all those people died from Chinese vape cartridges? That was weird!

Well, they have been repeating this fact almost every day at the White House press conference. I normally don't subject myself to the MSM so not sure if they are actually getting the message out.
