New Image International:The biggest threat from coronavirus is to seniors

The biggest threat from coronavirus is to seniors

General healthMay17

The BIGGEST risk of coronavirus infection – and the BIGGEST threat of its deadliest complications – are in seniors, especially those with preexisting conditions.

But some of those preexisting conditions are much, much worse than others. And unfortunately, the DEADLIEST risk factor is also one of the MOST COMMON.

It's diabetes.

The new study finds that if you have the disease, then your chances of surviving a COVID-19 infection plunge. One in 10 diabetes patients hospitalized for the coronavirus die within a week, while 20 percent end up on a ventilator.

What's more, the study finds:

- 47 percent suffer eye, kidney or nerve complications

- 41 percent battle heart, brain and leg conditions

- EACH complication DOUBLES the risk of death in a week

- The death risk TRIPLES past the age of 65

- The death risk jumps 14 TIMES at 75
