28 year old Navajo woman, a young woman with goals and a 1 year old child, dies 1 day after diagnosis with CoVid-19:

This woman was living the "modern lifestyle" and worked in several public-facing jobs to support her family. Navajo people are relatively isolated from many of our regular viruses, so their immune systems may not be so primed to fight it, hence the younger age at death. That's one hypothesis. There may be other genetic links that we just don't now about yet.

Agree @cody22 . Our country was polarized before the virus. I think from now until the end of 2020, we will live in a world of "we and them". Sadly, because of my age, I won't be here to see COVID's legacy. I'd give anything to be around 50 years from now to how history defines our nation.

i feel the same, and speak to my children often about how important it is for them to write it correctly. We made mistakes when I was young....we didn't think so, but we did. I didn't mind being called a Baby Boomer.... but I don't like the new use of just Boomer. Feels somewhat dirty!! Sortof kidding.....

Something occurred to me when reading this - how many people are dying intestate because of this virus? I'm thinking those planning to board a cruise ship in the next 3 months do not have their affairs in order. Jmo.

Coronavirus: A quarter of COVID-19 patients who died in England had diabetes

NHS England said of the 22,332 people who died since 31 March, 5,873 (26%) of them had diabetes as an underlying health condition.

A quarter of people who died with coronavirus in hospitals in England had diabetes, officials say.

People with dementia or lung problems are also among those most at risk of dying after contracting COVID-19, according to new NHS figures.

Statistics from NHS England show that of the 22,332 people who died since 31 March, 5,873 (26%) of them were diabetic.

The breakdown of those who had type 1 and type 2 has not been released. According to diabetes.co.uk 6% of the UK population is diabetic.

Also, 18% of people who died after testing positive for COVID-19 - 4,048 deaths - had dementia as an underlying health condition and 15% (3,254 deaths) had chronic pulmonary disease.

Some 14% (3,214 deaths) had chronic kidney disease as an underlying health issue.

It is the first time NHS England has published a breakdown of deaths by pre-existing conditions.

That’s an old story discussed here like a week ago. Wonder why they’re dredging it up again.

Probably because a lot of us didn't see it the first time? None of my kids or nieces/nephews had seen it (all have kids).

Sorry if posting something twice is a problem, but I'm pretty sure that many people do not read every single post here. I hadn't seen it until this morning, as I don't read East Coast news as frequently.

Further, there's quite a bit of research now about the heart problems in children. As the number of states experiencing the serious form of CoVid for kids is now at 15 states total, we have to wonder how previously asymptomatic persons of all ages are experiencing epithelial inflammation syndromes. Hearts and kidneys especially affected.

Carnival better figure out what to do with the crew members on ships still at sea first. Since they have not solved this situation yet.

Thousands of cruise ship crew members remain out at sea

It won't load for EU so I haven't been able to read it . A cut and paste or a summary would be helpful for those of us in Europe. Probably that's why I have not seen it.

Interesting. IIRC BBC reported 9 out of 10 had pre-existing condition.

Nine in 10 dying with virus have existing illness

and that mentions heart disease was the top.

Someone was on the radio today saying that doctors are putting CV19 as the cause of death when it is sometimes the underlying condition. I will see if there is a link.

So the percentages above are
26% diabetic
18% dementia
15% chronic pulmonary disease
14% chronic kidney disease

So that makes 73% only. Maybe heart disease is the missing one.

Yeah, it's just hitting the news cycle in several places:

An 8-year-old boy with coronavirus antibodies went into cardiac arrest. His brother's CPR saved his life

is another one - perhaps available in EU? Don't know. But the upshot is that a 15 year old who had learned CPR as a Boy Scout happened to be there when his little brother went into cardiac arrest due to that new CoVid syndrome in children. Little brother never tested positive for the virus and had no symptoms, but upon hospitalization, tested positive for the antibodies. That's why Dr Fauci is asking people to hold off on thinking we know a lot about CoVid.

The older brother kept the little brother alive until the paramedics got there and used the defrib on him.

The little boy did have a fever in April but his pediatrician said it was just the flu. This article from California may meet EU standards:

New York teenager performs CPR, saves 8-year-old brother with coronavirus-related condition who went into cardiac arrest

It also has new information. No one in the family thinks they had CV but so far no news on whether the parents have been tested.

Article on how Latvia is coping with the virus. This is where I live....

Facing Pandemic, Latvia Follows the Lead of Its Experts

RIGA, Latvia—To the surprise of many, this not particularly wealthy Northern European country of 1.9 million people appears to be one of the coronavirus pandemic’s success stories. As of May 13, Latvia has confirmed only 951 coronavirus cases and 19 deaths. By contrast, neighboring Estonia has recorded double the number of cases and three times as many deaths.

In Latvia, there has been one only death related to COVID-19 since May 4. It seems that the country has not just flattened the curve but smashed it.

That's a non EU one too. What do they mean by a coronavirus related condition? The Paediatric Inflammatory Syndrome (Kawasaki like) again ?

ETA. NVM already answered.
