Underlying Medical Conditions with COVID-19

With the beginning of the spread of the coronavirus in China then around the world, countries were scrambling to halt the spread of the coronavirus pandemic to protect people. However, there was a lot of damage to the economy in some countries and the education system in all countries, and international flights are stopped. Among the most important of them, there was a significant shortage of medical supplies and hospital facilities to receive patients and protect other patients. As of August 7, more than 722,000 people worldwide have died of COVID-19, and more than 19.4 million who have tested positive for COVID-19, and more than 11.7 million people have recovered so far (Johns Hopkins, 2020).

All people of all ages are at risk of infection for COVID-19, but there is a group of individuals who are most vulnerable to infection. This leads to them be admitted to hospitals or care centers, or in need to use a ventilator to help them breathe (CDC,2020). Also, people of any age with certain underlying medical conditions are at increased risk for COVID-19 such as Cancer, Chronic kidney disease, COPD (chronic obstructive pulmonary disease), Immunocompromised state, Obesity, Serious heart conditions, Sickle cell illness and, Type 2 diabetes mellitus (Mayo Clinic, 2020).

We must also take into account some of the conditions that might be at an increased risk for example Asthma, Cystic fibrosis, Hypertension, Liver disease, Pregnancy, Pulmonary fibrosis, and Smoking (CDC,2020).

I think if we pay attention to these people with certain medical conditions, which are most vulnerable to infection with the COVID-19, it will help reduce its spread, and everyone should take care of them and help to stop meeting with them.

  1. Do you think that caring specifically for these individuals with preexisting medical conditions would help to “reduce its spread” as you mentioned? I completely agree that people who are critically vulnerable to COVID-19 symptoms deserve special and priority attention, but in terms of the general spread of the virus, actions like this likely won’t curb the number of new cases we see across the country and across the globe. It helps curb the severity, but unfortunately not the spread.

    Many (but not all of course) of the conditions you mentioned that made people succeptible to COVID are often preventable from an individual standpoint, such as high cholesterol / heart disease, lung cancer / smoking, and lax vaccination schedules. Do you see a future in which the CDC or World Heatlh Organization encourages individual healthy lifestyle choices in order to reduce the ferocity of a global respiratory pandemic?

  2. I think this topic is super interesting, especially how it relates to school reopening plans across America. For example, my mom is a teacher, and was just notified that all teachers must return to school. This even includes teachers with preexisting conditions. It seems unfair to place someone in a situation where they put the health of themselves and their families at risk, but also, job security is more important than even in our current economic climate. It makes me wonder, at what point is your job worth more than your health? I feel like this topic is important as people begin to decide how they will navigate living during a pandemic as the world starts to reopen.
