“people who smoke are at risk people who have smoked are at risk people who have diabetes and in here we're talking both type 1 and type 2 I was actually surprised to see the risk in type 1 diabetes the risk in type 2 diabetes is a little easier to see because it often accompanies some of the other comorbidities like high blood pressure that also feed into the risk profile aged over 70 is being viewed as a really big cutoff because that's about where you see a doubling of the case fatality rate high blood pressure and heart disease are also risk factors”
