PRE-EXISTING HEALTH CONDITIONS FOR CORONAVIRUS

The National 6 February 2020

There is a new picture explained in the media on Coronavirus. About 80% of those who died were over the age of 60.

75% of them had pre-existing health conditions such as cardio-vascular diseases and diabetes.

Comment: We need to recall the virus is fatal if the victim suffers from (1) damaged immune systems and (2) tissue and organ failure. This also includes infection of the sufferer with HIV/AIDS.

The virus causes severe respiratory infection that starts with fever and a dry cough. People can be infected and recover.
