A new analysis of data on 540,667 people admitted to one of 800 hospitals in the US for Covid between March 2020 and March 2021 provides some interesting insights:

- People with severe COVID tended to have one or more underlying medical conditions, most commonly:
- Hypertension (high blood pressure)
- Lipid metabolism disorder
- Obesity
- The underlying conditions most strongly associated with death are:
- Obesity
- Fear or anxiety-related disorder
- Diabetes with complications
- Having multiple underlying disorders
