Would be more helpful if they excluded hypertension or qualified it in terms of being poorly controlled/requiring 2 or more medications etc...about 1/3 of people over 50-60 have “hypertension,” so it doesn’t make you feel too much better if it’s killing a bunch of people with simple hypertension in absence of other significant comorbidity.

Yes, hypertension and obesity pad the underlying conditions stat.

Obesity and hypertension are both conditions caused by a person's own damn choices and don't apply to healthy and responsible parts of the population, so hell yeah they should be counted as underlying conditions. If this virus only killed meth addicts I'd be saying hell yeah, open everything up, it's their own damn fault. Stop punishing healthy and young Americans.
