One likely explanation is an immune system disturbance, possibly tied to the genetics of the disorder.1 People with psychotic disorders, such as schizophrenia, are five times more likely to die from COVID-19 and three times more likely to be hospitalized, according to new research by University of Manchester health data scientists. The COVID-19 pandemic has further highlighted the poor physical health outcomes we see for people who experience severe mental illness, and there is an urgent need to provide enhanced care for this particularly high-risk group."

I don't have heart issues (Maybe from stim abuse), don't smoke anymore, no diabetes.

But many people with schiz - Yknow, on the street.. Uncared for, doing drugs, in psychosis, mentally incapable to deal with COVID. And are neglected (When they do get it), left to die.

The genetics is strange.. Maybe they created the virus to kill all of the people with access to a certain state of consciousness, who knows!

Age, obesity and cardiovascular issues are always some of the main ones though.

Age is number one schiz is number two above anything else including asthma.
