[Leica] Whereas I found this article terrifying

[James Handsfield]

Yes, but the Science article shows clearly that the case fatality rate is also dependent on many factors including age, existing medical conditions, and sex.  Most of the people in this group are at higher risk than the general population.  I’m in the high risk group because of my age (73) and I’m a type 1 diabetic.  In addiction, all diabetics are essentially heart patients as well because we have the same incidence of heart attack as someone who has already had one.  A triple whammy.

While I’m not panicking, I’m doing my best to limit my activities and stay home as much as possible.
