When it comes to the novel coronavirus, few data points are as reliable as they might appear.
A more accurate headline might be: “Nearly 80 percent of a likely unrepresentative group of COVID-19 patients who went into intensive care had underlying conditions.”The CDC is transparent about the limitations of its data set, including the potential. Because the sample of patients the CDC looked at wasn’t randomly selected, the 94.2 percent of COVID-19 patients with no underlying health data can’t be assumed to be similar to those for whom that data exists.
The limitations of this data don’t change what we should all know by now: Those with underlying conditions should still be especially careful about contracting the disease. And just because this data set isn’t perfect doesn’t mean it has nothing to say: Especially since it seems in accordance with previous studies, it does suggest people with underlying conditions are at increased risk. It’s just that we still don’t know how much more danger they’re in, despite headlines suggesting otherwise.
