Be sure to look at the list of "underlying conditions":
"diabetes, lung disease, cancer, immunodeficiency, heart disease, hypertension, asthma, kidney disease, GI/Liver disease" - tell me how many in America wouldn't be classified with one of these "underlying conditions"? 1/

Point being: "underlying conditions" isn't some narrow corner case of "olds" and "fattys" - it's most of us. Arguing that #Coronavirus causes a crisis only in people with underlying conditions isn't just callous and anti-life, it's irresponsible. 2/
Bonus: if you want to argue "but underlying conditions" & also dismiss #COVID19 as less severe than the flu, you also have to factor out "underlying conditions" for flu deaths too. If you do that, you see that the Chinese virus is far more deadly in either patient population 3/3
