Is there data on that? Or is it an assumption?

There's plenty of data indicating that's the case, for instance [1]. That said, the population is also much younger and age has a much bigger impact than comorbidities.

surely there are data. "assumptions" underlie all "data"[1], but i would call "prisoners not having good health care" a pretty decent assumption. if you're so curious, maybe go google it yourself, and then post a study if you find one.

i'm so tired of literally every other HN comment being like this. there is truly nothing more low effort / "i am very smart" than the HN-classic "do you have a source for that? where's the peer-reviewed study?". it adds absolutely nothing to the discussion, and yet i see all sorts of materially less obnoxious things be downvoted to oblivion.
