  High-risk groups can take extra actions for defense, early detection & early treatment.

    If they have that luxury based on class. Otherwise they are hosed.

      One of the most effective defenses is Vitamin D, which is free if you go outside on a sunny day. Bonus fresh air. Dark-skinned people may benefit from (cheap) supplements, depending on location. A disproportionate number of US/UK severe cases are dark-skinned people. Have you seen research into the cause? Sadly, Vitamin D does not have a pharma marketing budget to convince people that they would be hosed without expensive, emerging, and relatively unproven designer drugs OR addressing Vitamin D deficiency in northern climates. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=23119949 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=23119949

        There does appear to be a correlation between vitamin D deficiency and COVID-19 risk. https://ssrn.com/abstract=3585561 https://ssrn.com/abstract=3585561
