A quarter of people who died with coronavirus in hospitals in England had diabetes, officials say.

People with dementia or lung problems are also among those most at risk of dying after contracting COVID-19, according to new NHS figures

Statistics from NHS England show that of the 22,332 people who died since 31 March, 5,873 (26%) of them were diabetic.

The breakdown of those who had type 1 and type 2 has not been released. According to diabetes.co.uk 6% of the UK population is diabetic.

Also, 18% of people who died after testing positive for COVID-19 - 4,048 deaths - had dementia as an underlying health condition and 15% (3,254 deaths) had chronic pulmonary disease

Yet weirdly the govt decided to take diabetics off the immediate at risk list.

People at high risk (clinically extremely vulnerable)
People at high risk from coronavirus include people who:

  • have had an organ transplant
  • are having chemotherapy or antibody treatment for cancer, including immunotherapy
  • are having an intense course of radiotherapy (radical radiotherapy) for lung cancer
  • are having targeted cancer treatments that can affect the immune system (such as protein kinase inhibitors or PARP inhibitors)
  • have blood or bone marrow cancer (such as leukaemia, lymphoma or myeloma)
  • have had a bone marrow or stem cell transplant in the past 6 months, or are still taking immunosuppressant medicine
  • have been told by a doctor they you have a severe lung condition (such as cystic fibrosis, severe asthma or severe COPD)
  • have a condition that means they have a very high risk of getting infections (such as SCID or sickle cell)
  • are taking medicine that makes them much more likely to get infections (such as high doses of steroids)
  • have a serious heart condition and are pregnant
