Things that increase those odds are being male, having cardiovascular diseas, hypertension, diabetes, or chronic lung disease like COPD.

Chronic steroid use also raises the odds, as do immunosuppressant medications for autoimmune disease like RA or Crohn's. If you're on those medications, you might want to talk to your doctor about alternate treatment while the crisis persists.

And wish us luck because undoubtedly, some of us won't be here in November to vote against the Presidunce.
