Abstract
YES! The epidemiological data suggest that people with modifiable risks of chronic lifestyle-related diseases such as obesity, heart disease, hypertension and type 2 diabetes are profoundly more at risk of death from this virus.1 While it is also true of the elderly and those with immune deficiencies, these risks are more difficult to modify.Keywords
