Take someone in the U.S. who is heavily immunocompromised, such that their risk of death from any infection beyond a mild cold averages to 15%, and assume that their risk of death from coronavirus is 100%. Assume they’ve been employing social distancing tactics as a result for some time.
Is there available information or projections on whether the total risk for this person has increased or decreased as a result of coronavirus?
A key assumption/the reason it may have decreased is that we could expect that the prevalence of all other diseases is falling due to the social distancing tactics being employed for coronavirus.
