HIGH PERCENT OF COVID PATIENT FATALITIES HAD PRIOR HEALTH ISSUES

The Journal of the American Medical Association published a study in April that said of those hospitalized due to coronavirus symptoms, a large percentage had health issues prior to contracting the disease.
The peer-reviewed journal said 34 percent of the patients had diabetes, 42 percent were obese, and 57 percent had high blood pressure. A common factor, the report said, was the individuals had immune systems that cause inflammation.
“It’s almost like you’re using all the immune system’s resources just to keep this fire smoldering,” Helen Messier, an immunologist and Director of Altum Medical, told the journal. “When a viral infection happens during chronic inflammation, the immune system may either not be able to mount an appropriate immune response or, in the case of COVID-19, it doesn’t have a good response initially but then tries to overcome it; the underlying inflammation can lead to an overpowering response, or ‘cytokine storm.’”
Doctors in San Antonio said diabetes and heart conditions are the most fatal conditions in patients who have died from the disease.
“It’s a reminder that many of these health conditions are common in San Antonio,” said Ron Nirenberg, the San Antonio mayor, according to the local news channel KSAT. “You have to wear a mask and keep your physical distance and keep others safe if you’re interested in helping us keep containment of this virus.”
Dr. Anita Kurian, the Metro Health Assistant Director of Communicable Disease, told the station, “Any time you have one of these chronic conditions, you are susceptible because your immune system may not be up to par. Somebody who has diabetes may have not just diabetes, but may have other risk factors like heart disease, atherosclerosis, obesity.”
Dr. Kurian continued, “As the number of these underlying medical conditions or co-morbid conditions go up, your risk of getting any infection, not just COVID infections, but any infection increases.”
TRENDPOST: As we have continually reported, there is never a mention in the mainstream media for people to get healthy and build their immune system to fight the virus. Instead, whether from Wall Street or nation’s capitols, the only solution provided to withstand the virus and reboot the economy is a vaccine.
