"Chronic disease has caused COVID-19 deaths, if we didn't have so much diabetes fewer people would've died" - incredibly dumb argument for many reasons, not least that it is true of LITERALLY ALL HUMAN DEATHS
Yes, if we had solved the biggest medical issue of the modern age fewer people would've died of COVID-19
What of it?
What of it?
I mean, seriously, we've been trying to 'fix' NCDs for decades, and while they are in theory somewhat preventable they are still a large and growing problem in most places in the world
Moreover, the increased risk from having, say, COPD on COVID-19 death is lower than the risk of being 50 vs 30 years old, so it's actually not true to say that chronic diseases are such a large contributor to COVID deaths
