Maybe it is my advanced age talking (of course it is), but I don't see the distinction here.  My husband, age 74+,  has dealt with type1 diabetes since 1974 and he is immune-suppressed because of medications taken so that his body doesn't reject his transplanted kidney.  He also has cardiopumonary issues and bladder issues.  He has survived hospitalizations in the past decade or so because of pneumonia once and sepsis another time.

But he is controlling all of these conditions with lifestyle and medications, and he is outwardly healthy.  He digs in the ground, splits wood, does many activities that, for a man of his age, might qualify as "active."

If he contracts Covid19 and he dies, IMHO his death will be from Covid19, not from the other underlying conditions that he has been living with for a very long time.

By the same token, I am also 74+ (we will both turn 75 this summer) and I recently had open heart surgery to correct several structural issues with my heart.  I am still rehabbing from that surgery and getting stronger.  If I contract Covid19 and die, is my cause of death "heart condition"?  I don't think so.  I think if I contract Covid19 and die, my cause of death is "Covid19."

Many of us, as we age, have underlying health issues.  But if we are functioning in spite of them, and then if we contract this disease, I cannot see the distinction of sorting us out because of our age or our chronic medical conditions.

Just my 2 cents.
