South Korean doctors have found certain underlying conditions that may make some COVID-19 patients more severely affected by the disease, a professor at Yeungnam University Medical Center said on Wednesday.

Medical experts and epidemiologists are investigating risk factors for patients who develop severe cases of the disease, which has killed more than 400,000 globally since it first emerged late last year in China. The team of doctors observed 110 coronavirus patients at a hospital in Daegu, the epicentre of South Korea’s outbreak, from February 19 to April 15.

Because such patients were significantly older than others, they were more likely to have diabetes and lower peripheral oxygen saturation, the paper said.

this isn't a news. we all knew it from the beginning of this fucking virus.

This isn't news. It was known months ago.

This is no news.

The same findings have been published by Chinese doctors as soon as early March...

THAT’S NATURE, BUT COVID19 IS NOT NATURE...

Thought the doctors knew this for a while now?

Underlying conditions: • Old age • Comorbidities • Live in New York • Name is Karen

What about vitamin D deficiency? Not mentioned at all.

Um DUH

Diabetes, low oxygen saturation and heart problems I've read before, but high temperature being a factor is new. That's normally how the body fights an illness and usually why treating a fever isn't helping. Does that affect the likelihood of a cytokline storm or prolong covid19?

Like NOT being HAN Chinese?
