Older Americans are most at risk of dying from the coronavirus, but medical examiner records show that younger people are also dying. Almost always their deaths are accompanied by underlying conditions. The list of younger Black people who have died of COVID-19 includes a 38-year-old man with morbid obesity; a 35-year-old woman with diabetes, kidney failure, obesity, hypertension and a heart muscle disease called cardiomyopathy; a 22-year-old woman with obesity, diabetes, chronic kidney disease and a hardening of the arteries caused by chronically high blood pressure; and a 35-year-old man with end-stage kidney disease, diabetes and hypertension.
