I suspect that certain pharma drugs given to elder people for cardiovascular and diabetes diseases may be in part responsible for current state. The similar thing was probably partly in effect a century ago with aspirin and Spanish flue.
- orwin 7y agoAnti-inflammatory medication is responsible for some of the death, and NSAID are often taken by people with diabetes (joint pain and stuff like that). Still, uncontrolled glycemy + covid19 will likely put you to ICU, NSAID or not. If you have diabetes and controlled glycemy, (+ you're young and did not consumme NSAID), you're likely to come out OK.
- majkinetor 7y agoYou are puting it mild. Those people are often on bunch of drugs concurently: ACE inhibitors, NSAIDs, anti-inflamatories. Many of those drugs deplete essential nutrients such as Zinc, vitamin C etc. Maybe that is the dominannt reason why older folks have such incidence. I wonder what are the stats for old & healthy (rare thing indeed, but not unheard of).
