<p>Recent data from England&#8217;s National Health Services (NHS) reveals that 95% of the people diagnosed with COVID-19 who died had serious underlying health issues, findings that roughly align with the data out of New York City, the epicenter of the virus in the United States.</p>
<p>&#8220;Ninety-five percent of people who have died with COVID-19 in hospitals in England had underlying health issues,&#8221; <a href="https://news.sky.com/story/coronavirus-95-of-victims-in-england-hospitals-had-underlying-health-conditions-11979733">Sky News</a> reported Tuesday citing data obtained by the outlet.</p>
<p>&#8220;The data provided by NHS England shows that, as of 5pm on 26 April, 18,749 people had died in hospital with the <a href="https://news.sky.com/topic/coronavirus-8483" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">virus</a>,&#8221; Sky News reports. &#8220;In a small number of cases, it was not possible to confirm if a patient did or did not have an underlying health condition. But for those where it was, 95% were found to have serious pre-existing issues. In patients over 80-years-old this figure was 96%, 60-79-years-old 95%, 40-59-years-old 88% and 20-39-years-old 82%.&#8221;</p>
<p>Sky News notes that breakdowns for victims under the age of 20 are not possible because it &#8220;cannot be disclosed as the sample is so small it would breach patient confidentiality rules to distinguish between those with or without pre-existing conditions.&#8221; The data also excludes &#8220;hospital deaths in Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland, in the community or in care homes.&#8221;</p>
<p>In a separate report breaking down the demographics of those who have died in connection to the virus, <a href="https://www.bbc.com/news/uk-51768274">BBC</a> reported Tuesday that &#8220;fewer than one in 10 of those who have died have been under the age of 60,&#8221; while &#8220;more than half of deaths have been among people aged over 80.&#8221;</p>
<p>The notably high percentage of underlying condition-connected deaths in England is roughly mirrored in New York City, where an overwhelming percentage of those who have died in America&#8217;s hardest-hit city have likewise been confirmed to have head a serious pre-existing condition, which the city specifies as including &#8220;diabetes, lung disease, cancer, immunodeficiency, heart disease, hypertension, asthma, kidney disease, GI/liver disease, and obesity.&#8221;</p>
<p>The most recent numbers from the <a href="https://www1.nyc.gov/assets/doh/downloads/pdf/imm/covid-19-daily-data-summary-deaths-04282020-1.pdf">NYC Health Department</a> (as of 6 p.m. April 27) show that a total of 11,820 people have died in connection to the virus. Of that total, 8,495 have been confirmed to have had a serious underlying condition, 68 have been confirmed to have &#8220;no underlying condition,&#8221; and 3,257 are listed as &#8220;underlying conditions unknown.&#8221; That means that of the total confirmed either way, 99.2% had an underlying condition, while just 0.8% did not. Even with the &#8220;unknowns&#8221; added into the total number of deaths, more than 70% of the people who have died have been confirmed to have had a serious pre-existing condition while just 0.6% have been confirmed to have no underlying condition.</p>
<p>In an opinion piece published by <a href="https://nypost.com/2020/04/26/science-says-its-time-to-start-easing-the-coronavirus-lockdowns/">The New York Post</a> Sunday, former chief of neuroradiology at Stanford Medical Center Scott Atlas, a Senior Fellow at Stanford University’s Hoover Institution, highlighted the data out of New York City, including the role underlying conditions appear to play in the death toll. &#8220;In the Big Apple, with almost one-third of all US deaths, the rate of <a href="https://www1.nyc.gov/site/doh/covid/covid-19-data.page#download" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">death</a> for all people ages 18 to 45 is 0.01 percent, or 13 per 100,000 in the population, one-eightieth of the rate for people age 75 and over. For people under 18, the rate of death is zero per 100,000. Of Empire <a href="https://covid19tracker.health.ny.gov/views/NYS-COVID19-Tracker/NYSDOHCOVID-19Tracker-Fatalities?%3Aembed=yes&amp;%3Atoolbar=no&amp;%3Atabs=n" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">State</a> fatalities, almost two-thirds were over 70 years of age,&#8221; he wrote. &#8220;And regardless of age, if you don’t already have an underlying chronic condition, your chances of dying are small. Of 7,959 NYC COVID-19 deaths fully investigated for underlying conditions, <a href="https://www1.nyc.gov/assets/doh/downloads/pdf/imm/covid-19-daily-data-summary-deaths-04192020-1.pdf">99.2 percent</a> had an underlying illness.&#8221;</p>
