CDC: Certain Medical Conditions Increase the Risk of Severe Illness from COVID

The US Center for Disease Control (CDC) have provided a list of underlying medical conditions that increase the risk for severe illness from COVID-19. The list is based on published reports, articles in press, unreviewed pre-prints, and internal data available between December 1, 2019 and July 10, 2020. Severe illness from COVID-19 was defined as hospitalization, admission to the ICU, intubation or mechanical ventilation, or death.

This list is a living document that will be periodically updated by CDC, and it could rapidly change as the science evolves.

The level of evidence for each condition was determined by CDC reviewers based on available information about COVID-19. Conditions were added to the list (if not already on the previous underlying medical conditions list [originally released in March 2020]) if evidence for an association with severe illness from COVID-19 was met.

Revisions were made on July 17, 2020 to reflect recent data supporting increased risk of severe COVID-19 among individuals with cancer.

  1. Me to CDC: Duh.

    Is this not the exact same list they provide for essentially every seasonal illness? They only left off “Vigorous liberalism” as a complicating condition.

  2. Also, according to the CDC the Median age of Covid related deaths is 78 and the average life expectancy of an American is… 78.

    Keep up the hysteria and fear, muzzle up, lock everything down, keep up anti-social distancing (unless you’re a Marxist revolutionary), abuse our children in schools, no sports, no stadiums, keep voting these diabolical narcissists back into office. We the sheeple.
