Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) is an infectious disease caused by severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2).
Hi Dr.
Based on what we know now, those at high-risk for severe illness from COVID-19 are:
People 65 years and older
People who live in a nursing home or long-term care facility
People of all ages with underlying medical conditions, particularly if not well controlled, including:
People with chronic lung disease or moderate to severe asthma
People who have serious heart conditions
People who are immunocompromised
Many conditions can cause a person to be immunocompromised, including cancer treatment, smoking, bone marrow or organ transplantation, immune deficiencies, poorly controlled HIV or AIDS, and prolonged use of corticosteroids and other immune weakening medications
People with severe obesity (body mass index [BMI] of 40 or higher)
People with diabetes
People with chronic kidney disease undergoing dialysis
People with liver disease
Immunocompromised, who are already suffering from various other health problems are at high risk, people who use ACE inhibitors to do lowering their blood pressure, people who are over 40.
Hi Dr.
https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/need-extra-precautions/groups-at-higher-risk.html
People with weakened immune systems from a medical condition or treatment, such as chemotherapy
older adults and people of any age who have serious underlying medical conditions & low immunity might be at higher risk for severe illness from COVID-19.
Hello dr
Good morning
The higher human are imuncompromized and old mane, other higher

Hi
According to CDC:
Older adults and people of any age who have serious underlying medical conditions might be at higher risk for severe illness from COVID-19.
Hi dr.
- People with medical conditions including:
- Heart disease
- Hypertension (high blood pressure)
- Lung disease
- Diabetes
- Cancer
- People with weakened immune systems from a medical condition or treatment, such as chemotherapy
- Older adults
1.Moderate-to-severe asthma may put people at higher risk for severe illness from COVID-19.
2.Chronic lung diseases, such as chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) (including emphysema and chronic bronchitis), idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis and cystic fibrosis, may put people at higher risk for severe illness from COVID-19
3.Diabetes, including type 1, type 2, or gestational, may put people at higher risk of severe illness from COVID-19.
4.Serious heart conditions, including heart failure, coronary artery disease, congenital heart disease, cardiomyopathies, and pulmonary hypertension, may put people at higher risk for severe illness from COVID-19.
5.Chronic kidney disease being treated with dialysis may increase a person’s risk for severe illness from COVID-19.
6.Severe obesity increases the risk of a serious breathing problem called acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS).
7.Older adults, 65 years and older, are at higher risk for severe illness and death from COVID-19.
8.Many cases of COVID-19 in the have occurred among older adults living in nursing homes or long-term care facilities.
9.Many conditions and treatments can cause a person to have a weakened immune system (immunocompromised), including cancer treatment, bone marrow or organ transplantation, immune deficiencies.
10.Chronic liver disease, including cirrhosis, may increase risk for serious illness from COVID-19.
Persons with weakened immune system & older adults are at high risk for severe illness from COVID-19.
older adults and people of any age who have serious underlying medical conditions & low immunity might be at higher risk for severe illness from COVID-19.

People with diabetes
People with chronic kidney disease undergoing dialysis
People with liver disease
Adults over the age of 65 and people of any age who have serious underlying medical conditions, such as asthma, heart disease, diabetes, lung disease, and HIV, may be at higher risk for more serious complications from COVID-19.
hi bro
the old people and immune compromised are more sensitive to infection
Hi
COVID-19 is a new disease and there is limited information regarding risk factors for severe disease. Based on currently available information and clinical expertise, older adults and people of any age who have serious underlying medical conditions might be at higher risk for severe illness from COVID-19.

Dear Dr.
The most risky individuals are immuncompromized patients as diabetics, pregnancy, patients with coronary heart diseases. So immune status us closley related

Bonjour
Les chiffres nous montrent que c'est les personnes âgées. C'était vrai au début.
La tendance nous montrent actuellement le contraire. Les personnes entre 20 et 60 ans sont les plus nombreuses.
Pourquoi ?
- 60 ans et plus se confinent beaucoup. Ils prennent des précautions.
- 20 à 60 ans , n'appliquent pas les mesures de prévention et protection.
https://www.hopkinsmedicine.org/health/conditions-and-diseases/coronavirus/coronavirus-and-covid19-who-is-at-higher-risk
Hi Dr.
Older adults and people of any age who have serious underlying medical conditions might be at higher risk for severe illness from COVID-19.
Hi Dr. Elderly and patients with chronic diseases like hypertension
Hi dear
Elderly and immunocompromized person seem to be at high risk to get COVID-19
Immunocompromised patient, person with respiratory system disorder and heart problem.
https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/need-extra-precautions/groups-at-higher-risk.html
Elderly and immunocompromised are more prone to covid-19 infection
You may want to look at some of the excellent medical lectures on different aspects of the medical aspects of the Coronavirus Pandemic by Dr. Seheult (MedCram.com) on YouTube:
https://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=Seheult+Coronavirus
There are three (3) main reasons:
1- Professor Raoul from France has shown that chloroquine is the best treatment for coronavirus. Africans were all taking chloroquine for malaria.
2- the warm climate does not favor the development of coronavirus.
3- Africans who have undergone several vaccines (cholera; tuberculosis; typhoid, etc.) are immune and resistant
· Who is at high risk? People with medical conditions including: Heart disease ; Hypertension (high blood pressure); Lung disease .
Those who are immunocompromised are at a higher risk for Covid-19. People who already have an underlying medical condition like diabetes, coronary diseases, hypertension.

Hi doctor
elder age , compromised patients , person who suffer from defect in respiratory tract
Il y a plusieurs raisons principales: 1- Les spécialistes ont montré que la chloroquine est le meilleur traitement pour les coronavirus. Les Africains prenaient tous de la chloroquine pour le paludisme. 2- le climat chaud ne favorise pas le développement des coronavirus. 3- Les Africains ayant subi plusieurs vaccins (choléra; tuberculose; typhoïde, etc.) sont immunisés et résistants. 4- les précautions prises.
I just posted a question re COVID-19 risk associated with Influenza vaccine
https://www.researchgate.net/post/Is_there_a_correlation_between_COVID-19_Death_rate_and_Influenza_Vaccine_coverage
My best profesionally-educated guess - everyone with a specific adipose tissue profile, yeast and E. coli bacteria in the gut, specific nasopharyngeal flora, specific nutrient-deficiencies, and hormonal issues, who have undergone (or are undergoing) fungi and mold-related respiratory, or another type of body-wide (i.e. global) infection.

The virus that causes COVID-19 infects people of all ages. However, evidence to date suggests that two groups of people are at a higher risk of getting severe COVID-19 disease. These are older people (that is people over 60 years old); and those with underlying medical conditions (such as cardiovascular disease, diabetes, chronic respiratory disease, and cancer).
https://www.who.int/docs/default-source/coronaviruse/situation-reports/20200311-sitrep-51-covid-19.pdf?sfvrsn=1ba62e57_10#:~:text=The%20virus%20that%20causes%20COVID,provisions%20and%20social%20care.
The risk of severe disease gradually increases with age starting from around 40 years. It's important that adults in this age range protect themselves and in turn protect others that may be more vulnerable.

Patients with heart disease should be more cautious about COVID-19. Generally, people over 65 that have coronary artery disease or hypertension may be at greater risk of severe outcomes.
The virus can cause heart muscle or vessel damage and patients may suffer severe problems as a result. Patients with heart failure symptoms may have a harder time if affected by COVID-19 as their heart already has pumping problems.
https://www.umms.org/ummc/coronavirus/covid-questions/cardiovascular
Technically speaking, someone with a diagnosed heart problem is not immunocompromised; however, there are other conditions and immunosuppressing medications that can in fact make a patient immunocompromised. For example, a heart patient may have rheumatoid arthritis and is taking a steroid. This may weaken their immune system and put them at higher risk for infection.

Generally, stats indicate males and elderly are more prone towards covid19...
Increased risk of severe illness and death in heart patients with COVID-19
About 10% of patients with pre-existing cardiovascular disease (CVD) who contract COVID-19 will die, compared with only 1% of patients who are otherwise healthy. Increased risk has also been seen in people with high blood pressure (hypertension) and coronary artery disease (CAD), though it is not clear why. Some experts have suggested that the missing link may be the use of certain blood pressure medications called angiotensin converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitors and angiotensin receptor blockers (ARBs).
https://www.health.harvard.edu/blog/how-does-cardiovascular-disease-increase-the-risk-of-severe-illness-and-death-from-covid-19-2020040219401
People of all ages can be infected by the new coronavirus (2019-nCoV). Older people, and people with pre-existing medical conditions (such as asthma, diabetes, heart disease) appear to be more vulnerable to becoming severely ill with the virus.
Men, people of color, etc. are mostly at risks of dying from Covid-19
- People 65 years and older
- People who live in a nursing home or long-term care facility
People of all ages with underlying medical conditions, particularly if not well controlled, including:
- People with chronic lung disease or moderate to severe asthma
- People who have serious heart conditions
- People who are immunocompromised
- Many conditions can cause a person to be immunocompromised, including cancer treatment, smoking, bone marrow or organ transplantation, immune deficiencies, poorly controlled HIV or AIDS, and prolonged use of corticosteroids and other immune weakening medications
- People with severe obesity (body mass index [BMI] of 40 or higher)
- People with diabetes
- People with chronic kidney disease undergoing dialysis
- People with liver disease
People above 65 years, individuals with preexisting health issues, etc. are at high risk
I want to make a comment a little different from those already made, all correct (age, pre-existing conditions etc.), emphasizing factors not yet touched: (1) It is not true that ambient temperature has an important effect: Right here in Peru and also in other parts of South America the most affected areas are those of high temperatures (Piura, Sullana, Iquitos, Manaus, Guayaquil) and (2) Apparently the altitude above sea level (above 2,500 / 3,000 meters) has an good impact (see: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC7175867/).
Exciting work from Australian researchers based in Tasmania measured ACE2 upregulation in the lungs of smokers. It is also known that Fluoride, found in tobacco smoke or inhaled from aerosol in showers or irrigation sprinklers, travels directly into the lungs.
Article Smoking Upregulates Angiotensin-Converting Enzyme-2 Receptor...
Article Covid-19: Risk factors for severe disease and death
... Risk factor assessments based on data from China, Europe, and the USA indicate that those at higher risk for severe illness from COVID-19 include older males, and people of all ages with obesity and underlying medical conditions such as hypertension, cardiovascular disease, chronic lung disease, and chronic metabolic diseases such as type 2 diabetes.
