Obesity increases risk from the virus, same with high blood pressure, same with asthma, or sleep apnea.
Hypertension = High Blood Pressure. If you have it, your chance of dying just increased by 6%.
If you have any chronic issue with breathing. Whether it's asthma, or sleep apnea, or get winded easily, your chance of dying just increased by 6%.
Doctor's around the world are still looking at how that translates to obesity based on severity of obesity, and don't have results for it yet. But, it's being speculated that it will drastically increase chances of dying in comparison to numbers above.
So yeah, if you're talking about the Average, non-smoker, Healthy & fit individual, with absolutely no underlying health complications of any kind, then chances are it's no higher than 0.5%, between ages of 20-50.
