I disagree here. My friend works the front lines (first NYC and then Miami as a traveling covid nurse) and she said that while most fatalities were in older people with underlying conditions that it was not uncommon for a young 30 year old with no underlying conditions to have serious complications. Take that broadway guy Nick. He was in amazing shape! He passed away.

There are outliers. That doesn’t change what occurs the vast majority of the time. Stay healthy. The chances are on your side. Significantly.
we have had this conversation a bunch. No need to go through it again

BMI is the most worthless measurement! If we use BMI as a comorbidity, then 85 percent of people have a comorbidity!

I think that is the whole point. Obesity is defined as a BMI over 30 and obesity would be listed as a comorbidity. Almost half of US adults also have high blood pressure, also a comorbidity. These are some of the reasons 94% of Covid deaths had a comorbidity listed and a lot had more than one.

from the below article...
“Here is a statement from the Michigan Department of Health and Human Services, Lynn Stutfin:
Since the start of the pandemic, older individuals and those with underlying conditions were considered the most vulnerable to this deadly virus and likely to have the most severe outcomes. This recently released CDC data reinforces that information. Michigan is sharing its case and death data with researchers, with appropriate provisions to protect privacy, to learn more about the relationship between comorbidities and COVID-19 among Michiganders.”

By the way, this claim that "94% of the cases had comorbidities and therefore shouldn't count among the COVID numbers" was brought to us by the good folks at QAnon. You know what they say about the company you keep.

Overwhelmingly strong results could end COVID-19 vaccine trials early, Fauci says
A COVID-19 vaccine could be available earlier than expected if ongoing clinical trials produce overwhelmingly positive results, Dr. Anthony Fauci said.
3rd large scale phase 3 trial started this week. Here’s to hoping that one pans out

And in not so good news, the former leader of the free world is not going to participate in the global effort to manufacture and distribute a potential vaccine. Geez, remember when we used to be at the forefront of these kinds of things?

Good news for vaccine - coronavirus-fighting antibodies last longer than scientists thought
Antibodies that people make to fight coronavirus last for at least four months after diagnosis and do not fade quickly as some earlier reports suggested, scientists have found. Tuesday's report, from tests on more than 30,000 people in Iceland, is the most extensive work yet on the immune...

Can't report that for some reason, we're not participating in the global effort to fight the worst pandemic in a century?
