‘Underlying health problems’

Very vague term isn’t it.

Wonder if anybody with only Asthma or high blood pressure has died yet? They too & many other like them are ‘underlying health problems’ after all.

Don’t want to alarm the populace any further do we?

So yeah, keep calm & carry on. Cynical stuff imo. I’d prefer more detail on deaths thus far personally.

The think I can't fathom with the 'advice' is that most people who have underlying conditions don't realise they have them! Perfectly healthy people can have cardiac problems etc that they aren't aware of until they are compromised.
