Nearly all of the coronavirus patients in New York’s largest hospital system had at least one underlying health condition, a new study shows.

Electronic health records of 5,700 COVID-19 patients hospitalized at Northwell Health revealed that more than 94 percent had at least one disease in addition to the deadly virus.

The majority of those patients — 88 percent — had more than one pre-existing illness, 6.3 percent had only one and 6.1 percent had none at all, according to the research posted in the Journal of the American Medical Association.

It doesn't matter.  Any report that doesn't declare HCQ as effective must be played up by Anti-Trumpers as proof of Orange Man Bad.  Just read some posts on this forum.

Are there any American's with no underlying conditions like obesity, poor diet, high blood pressure, stress, sleep disorders, cancers that run in the family, a cold, or flu?

@Cyber Liberty Don't take it personally buddy.  It's why I earn the big bucks from Soros.

It's all good, @Once-Ler!

Damn dirty fighter!  You've cost me the Bloomberg bonus for sure with that one! Curses @#$Y%5&
It hardly pays to treasonously exploit tragedies anymore.  Foiled again.

We Will Meet Again Mr. Liberty when you least expect!!! :hattip:

Yes.

Yes.

Well, yes, myself as an example....

Mrs. Liberty and I were on her third jaunt out of the house in as many weeks, no worries.  The store even had plenty of off-brand TP!  We really have no reason to go out, being the larders are full.  We were running down to our last 5 lbs of cheese, and I really love cheese.  We also got some heavy cream because we discovered we like homemade butter better than Land O Lakes.

Oh, I had to check the mail at the PO Box.  I had my fifth notice that my Health Insurance ran out last month.     No Chit, Cherlock.  That's why I bought a new policy.

The NY Post article said 88% of those put on ventilators later died.
Those odds aren't very good.

If I end up in the hospital with this, I'm going to demand of the doctors that they don't put me on a vent, regardless. I'll try regular oxygen with the dosage all the way up, and take my chances that way.

Whether a patient can actively prevent doctors from pursuing a specific course of treatment, I can't say.

But I'll push for that path as much as I can.

You have a say as long as you are conscious.  After that you don't, unless they have it in writing (in most states).

Yes, an "Advanced Directive" can be signed which designates a health care surrogate named by you who becomes responsible for carrying out your health care preferences in the event that you are unable to do so.

I think I read (could be wrong) almost nobody that's been hospitalized with COVID have/had Advanced Directives.

Yes I read something like that as well.  Now is the time for people, especially those who aren't exactly spring chickens anymore to make sure that they have a will, trust, directives, etc., made up.  Only problem -- attorney offices may not be open right now.
