But the comorbidities affect resp performance, and thus COVID response.

A fat smoker guy wrecking his car is a car death because his condition has zilch to do with his driving.

But that fat smoker guy is maybe gonna end up on a vent with COVID, whereas I might not (given the same age). So that's a COVID-related death OR it could be an emphysema or COPD related death, your choice.

👍. Adding more fun, there isnt a common used criteria on how to assign -- ColoVT82 03/23/2020 1:19PM
