65 of 65 with pre-existing conditions

The city of Hamburg is unique in that it had all its COVID-19 fatalities examined in detail by a pathologist..
According to that study, every single one of those cases had severe pre-existing conditions. According to the pathologist who led the study, most of those patients would have likely died within the next 12 months even without COVID-19.

It is somewhat common sense, but maybe what is different is that 100% had the preexisting condition.
But it would still be expected that quite a high number would be in this category.
I often think when I hear about a heat wave that goes through a city and a certain number of people die. If you already have problems, then of course any out of the ordinary situations will do more stress on your body.
