View original postI tried looking up some of the same numbers for Jeo in another thread the other day, took me a lot of effort to get to similar numbers but with a lot more 'I think' and 'probably'. 
I had looked up some of it four a reddit post the other day (the comparison with the flu). Then I googled co-morbidities and found useful data, and then decided to add the hospital beds because full hospitals are one of the main dangers.
View original postI just want to add one more thing - that even among people with no known preconditions, clearly some react much worse to the virus than others, so it's not possible to extrapolate from one's own experiences to everybody else. I'm not sure if by now the scientists have made much more progress as to the reason behind that, whether it has something to do with the 'viral load' people catch at the moment of infection, or if it's genetics, or something else still.
