From what I understand around 45% of the cases being reported (over 130k) have underlying conditions:
Cardiovascular disease
13.2% of cases - of those 10.5% die. (1 out of every 10)
Diabetes
9.2% of cases - of those 7.3% die.
Chronic respiratory disease
8.0% / 6.3%
Hypertension
8.4% / 6.0%
Cancer
7.6% / 5.6%
