I mentioned heart disease. Heart disease is very common, and nowadays, a lot of people live productive lives despite it. If someone is managing their heart disease and living their life, and CoVID-19 comes along and kills them, that's still a tragedy.

If they're managing their heart disease and living their life they're not living in a hospice, which the people in that particular study did.

And yet they're still at elevated risk of death if they get CoVID-19, which they probably will if a "herd immunity" strategy is followed. The frustrating thing is that many people will then downplay their death by saying they had a comorbidity.
