Remarkable how well US medicine screens population for diseases. The entire population is almost completely covered by medical screening. Are there similar risk factors for cancer, for example? Do all cancer patients have similar pre-existing risk factors? I don’t think so.
Not saying if you don’t have pre-existing conditions you are bulletproof. But does seem to imply you won’t die, and very likely won’t even get serious covid.
Seems like we should do everything in our power to prevent and reverse chronic disease. What everyone seems to miss is these conditions are actually simple to prevent and reverse. They seem to be treated like a fact of nature rather than a choice.
