Estimated County-Level Prevalence of Selected Underlying Medical Conditions Associated with Increased Risk for Severe COVID-19 Illness — United States, 2018

@dobssi @EphemeralEther @OS51388957 @rpezer1 It was known that unfortunately in the US a large chunk of the adult population was at increased risk from COVID-19. https://t.co/ibM58iOimH

@vlal42 @mcsporgus @DrJBhattacharya The issue is that they have downplayed how many adults were at risk in the US https://t.co/ye46PUgFoH

@nubbin47 @FBenthos @DrJBhattacharya What were the accompanying docs with models and estimates of feasibility in October 2020? Links, please. Did they cite the July 2020 report indicating 47% of the US adult population being at increased risk? https://t.co

@WashburneAlex @JHowardBrainMD The GBD suggest to focus protection on the elderly & the younger but at risk, in October 2020. In July 2020 it was estimated that 47% of the US adult population was at increased risk. https://t.co/SrMXgH6nnC https://t.co/

@federicolois @GidMK @Me And when I say that it was known that that was unrealistic, I mean that we knew that there is a 30% of obese among US adults (for ~all ages), and that there were estimates of 47% of US adults being at higher risk ... https://t.co/Y

Picture 1 is from @erictopal blaming red states for the spread. Picture 2 is CDC's underlying medical conditions map as of 2018. Vax is great at keeping you out of the hospital. Maybe instead of blaming unvaxxed, focus on a condition you could remedy. ht

@JeffLee2020 @THEHermanCain 47.2% of the population has at least one underlying condition. Details here. https://t.co/pG2ieZKE4e Also, the number of sig figs in your numbers is wrong, giving an entirely false sense of certainty.

@Dmozaffarian Absolutely right Bill. Key is to get healthy. Best way? Plant-rich diet. Here are statistics from CDC: If you suffer from obesity &/or chronic conditions, your risk of hospitalization is 6X higher & risk of death is 12X higher from CO

@jonathanrodney @jeffreyatucker @mdoc89 @jneeley78 It's 47%, according to CDC. https://t.co/ycwJDSOzRY

@AngryRetailDale @PrisonPlanet I think I’ll go with the CDC before listening to some a-hole on the Internet. https://t.co/rWSlQWnxhE

India we don't even have numbers of underlying conditions.

When they say "underlying condition" that includes excess weight, plus so many things that people live long and happy lives with. Are you one of them? Take care. Take precautions. Wear a mask. Keep distance. Hand wash often. We've got this. Let's not get i

THREAD. Culling the herd is a disgusting concept.

Again, I don't have the data for the percentage of the UK population having 'underlying conditions' that would put them at higher risk of severe #Covid19 and/or death. But I imagine that it is not so much lower than the US percentage quoted here.

Yup. They simply don’t care. They want an enslaved, docile, cheap workforce

@edwardebrowden @chrislhayes I don’t understand why more people aren’t aware of how common these pre-existing conditions are. For top 5 medical conditions putting people at risk for severe illness from covid, here’s prevalence data from the CDC in July: ht

Data from #BRFSS and other sources can help researchers estimate how many residents of local areas face elevated risk of serious illness due to COVID-19. https://t.co/OWSTERFDcj

Why do people think it’s only a few people who are “at risk”? In July CDC found that over 40% of American adults are at risk for severe illness from COVID-19 based on prevalence of the top five medical conditions (not age). https://t.co/zyRW4fAD6C

@KinCali1 @thekjohnston 47% of Americans have those “other health conditions.” 47% don’t die every year. Excess mortality (from all causes) for 2020 is over 200,000 higher than previous years, meaning we’re probably *undercounting* covid deaths. https://
