I was referring to an American study but just did a quick google for UK data. 


Data from the Intensive Care National Audit and Research Centre (ICNARC) showed that of 165 patients treated in critical care in England, Wales and Northern Ireland since the end of February, 79 died, while 86 survived and were discharged. The figures were taken from an audit of 775 people who have been or are in critical care with the disease, across 285 intensive care units. The remaining 610 patients continue to receive intensive care.


(...)


The audit suggested that men are at much higher risk from the virus – seven in ten of all ICU patients were male, while 30% of men in critical care were under 60, compared to just 15% of women. Excess weight also appears to be a significant risk factor; over 70% of patients were overweight, obese or clinically obese on the body mass index scale.

Getting the sense that people are becoming a bit complacent/bored with lockdown. Lots of anecdotes about people ignoring advice and being out and about. I noticed quite a lot of people yesterday when I went to work, warm weather at the weekend might mean more.

Obesity
Public Health England has urged those with a body mass index of 40 or above to be stringent in avoiding the virus. Being overweight puts increased strain on the heart and lungs: there is less of a buffer if the body is put under additional stress by pneumonia or other complications.


A breakdown of 196 of the first cases admitted to critical care in Britain, carried out by the Intensive Care National Audit and Research Centre, showed that about a third had a BMI of between 30 and 40, which made them clinically obese.


https://www.thetimes.co.uk/article/who-is-being-hit-hardest-by-coronavirus-zrsv8xvdh


However from Wiki:


Data published as a part of the World Health Organisation (WHO) study in 2018 indicated that 28.1% of adults in the United Kingdom were recognised as clinically obese with a Body Mass Index (BMI) greater than 30.


https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Obesity_in_the_United_Kingdom


 


Therefore the correlation seems quite a weak one to me. Not sure what others think or if I have misunderstood the data.

The worst thing about C19 is the uncertainty. If I catch a cold or flu I have a good idea what to expect and can be very confident I will recover fully within a couple of weeks or so. With C19 it feels as though you are playing Russian Roulette. I say that from the point of view of someone who has just turned 50 and has no diagnosed underlying medical conditions. I'm not particularly susceptible to infections or illnesses and my parents both had good innings. But still...

I'm afraid there is little correlation between what Hancock says and what actually happens down the line. Always just an optimistic promise that isn't delivered.
