Actually, they've linked it to basic health.

So, if you have a population that engages in unhealthy activities (i.e.
smoking, poor diet), that population will have a higher instance and fewer
people who are immune (get enough of those and the virus will not spread). 
They also found that pollution plays a part, along with age (since older people
have weakened immune systems). 

Take Italy as an example.  High percentage of life-long smokers combined with
an older population and you get a higher mortality rate.

Here in the U.S. they are saying that COVID-19 is impacting the black community
harder.  But the black community has a higher instance of smoking and poor diet
(diabetes is often a problem - and that weakens your immune system).

Again, in the U.S., if you look at the "heat map" of the cases you'll see that
the cluster around the cities - where people are often poorer, which means that
they are less healthy.

According to what I've read so far, most of us will get it.  But the vast
majority won't even know that they had it.

I've met many people who seem very healthy, but eat a poor diet, smoke, etc. 
Just because they pass a health check when they enlist doesn't mean that they
are healthy.

The "experts" in gov't never think of the collateral damage of their decisions.
