We've all seen statistics that most people who die of Covid-19 have at least one comorbidity. They also almost all have the particular comorbidity of age. The biggest risk, by far, is being old. The question that I don't see being properly asked anywhere (I'd love for this post to be unnecessary because there's a better one) is: What is your chance of death from Covid-19 if infected, conditional on which if any comorbidities you have? Which ones matter and how much? If you don't have any, how much better off are you than your age group in general?
