Underlying health conditions

[gillstone]

Why are we not getting any information in the UK or anywhere, what the "underlying health conditions" are that has contributed to the mortality rate?

I’ve seen it in several places-

Heart conditions
Lung conditions including copd and asthma
Diabetes
High blood pressure.

I’ve read it all over the place. Cardiovascular, diabetes etc

This is from an American magazine, there are very few stats available as of yet

After taking into account the patients’ ages and smoking status, the researchers found that the 399 patients with at least one additional disease (including cardiovascular diseases, diabetes, hepatitis B, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, chronic kidney diseases, and cancer) had a 79% greater chance of requiring intensive care or a respirator or both, or of dying, they reported last week in a paper posted to medRxiv, a preprint site that posts research before it has been peer-reviewed. The 130 with two or more additional diseases had 2.5 times the risk of any of those outcomes.

I am hearing repeatedly that someone has died due to COVID-19 and underlying health conditions. But I have not read what underlying health condition it has been. Why not?

OP you've been told all you need to know, they had the virus and another health condition.
These are people's loved ones and even though they died with corona they are entitled to some medical confidentiality.
We've been told what health conditions are most at risk. We don't need to know about individual cases.

@gillstone it’s personal information too, families won’t want the ins and outs of someone’s underlying conditions splashed across the news.

Privacy, patient confidentiality mean anything to you?

Why do you need to know? Ghoul.
