CDC Reports Says Roughly 90% Of Hospitalized COVID-19 Patients Have Underlying Conditions

THANK. YOU.

The Wuhan boogeyman virus hysteria needs to end.

Let’s protect the vulnerable but please, for the love of all that is holy, let us go back to work.

The normal flu would have been just as deadly to these patients who have the same underlying conditions.

Quarantine is meant to isolate the sick and the vulnerable, not the healthy and well (aside from my understanding of minimizing the spread of something contagious).

Breitbart reported:

Nearly 90 percent of U.S. coronavirus patients who have been hospitalized have underlying health problems, or comorbidities, reports the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).

The Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Report (MMWR), released Wednesday, focuses on hospitalization rates and characteristics of patients hospitalized with confirmed coronavirus disease, or COVID-19.

The most common underlying conditions were hypertension, obesity, chronic lung disease, diabetes mellitus, and cardiovascular disease.

“These findings suggest that older adults have elevated rates of COVID-19–associated hospitalization and the majority of persons hospitalized with COVID-19 have underlying medical conditions,” said the researchers, explaining further:

These findings underscore the importance of preventive measures (e.g., social distancing, respiratory hygiene, and wearing face coverings in public settings where social distancing measures are difficult to maintain) to protect older adults and persons with underlying medical conditions, as well as the general public.

In addition, older adults and persons with serious underlying medical conditions should avoid contact with persons who are ill and immediately contact their health care provider(s) if they have symptoms consistent with COVID-19.

These lockdowns need to come to a halt and this country needs to reopen for business.
