The general finding from a recent @CDCgov report is not surprising: Comorbidities increase the risk of dying from #COVID19.
To evaluate the true impact of the pandemic in the U.S., it's important to consider "excess deaths."

ALT Many deaths involving COVID-19 are also associated with other comorbidities. The CDC recently reported that 94% of U.S. deaths involving COVID-19 since February were also associated with other conditions, or comorbidities.
ALT Comorbidities can be downstream effects of COVID-19. For instance, someone may have COVID-19 and respiratory failure listed on their death certificate, but COVID-19 likely caused the respiratory failure.
ALT Still, COVID-19 deaths are not easy to predict or prevent based on comorbidities. The virus is not only a concern for people with the most commonly associated medical issues.
ALT COVID-19 deaths are likely under-reported. There have been over 200,000 "excess deaths" in the U.S. this year, compared to the expected number.
