I don't understand what point you're trying to make?

I don't believe 'nor suggested ECDC and WHO are ignorant, I said the public.

Do you understand the point I'm making that there's a difference between hypertension & heart disease or diabetes type 1 & 2 and that some of these are a higher risk from certain factors than others. This logic is already being applied in our fight against CV19, but we should a lot more of it.

i.e. In general, a Type 1 diabetic is more at risk from a bag of skittles, but a Type 2 diabetic is more at risk from CV19.

You are a diabetic ..are you also hypertensive ? You omitted them from the" danger list " you quoted .
That was my point originally but you missed it thinking you were going to educate me about " layering aliments " which to be honest is not a word I think you meant , and some jumble about CDC .
America has one of the most heavily obese populations in the world, of course obesity will figure largely on their hit list .
Heart disease yes , but not to include diabetes and hypertension is just silly .
They are the first 2 causes of severe illness and death with Covid 19 , followed by heart disease, severe respiratory illness , cancer and immunocompromise, and yes , with obesity as a complicating factor , along with other factors.
But it is not the main risk factor in this disease , certainly not in Europe or worldwide .
You mention type 1 vs 2 , so somehow any data that has diabetes on its list is incorrect ? Yes type 2 are more at risk , but you never mentioned diabetes at all !
I am far from ignorant in this but I am not going to discuss that with you as you obviously have tunnel vision here, for some reason , and I suspect it is that you don't want to admit you might be vulnerable .
Understandable , but don't try to push incorrect statements down people's throats because of that .
Your comments about nurses upset me last night .
I don't want to talk to you really so I will not be replying to your posts anymore.

Every body is wearing their masks in shops but less and less are sanitising their hands on the way in. Remember that when you handle your change from the till, type in your pin and touch the coffee machine screen

Yes, sanitise again after that always .
Hate when you can't just tap

What's the name of this particular virus? I'd be genuinely interested to learn.

The paralysis you mention sounds like Guillain-Barré Syndrome, which is a post viral neurological autoimmune syndrome which is very uncommon but can happen any adult of any age after any viral infection.

Or MS can be triggered by an autoimmune reaction to a virus .
Or ME , or encephalitis , or hundreds of other awful illnesses .
None of these despite the millions of viruses out there are very common , thankfully .
But what we don't know yet is the extent to which this current, very infectious virus will affect people who have had it , in the future .
Wouldn't be going out to get it , no pun intended
