Comorbities include age and BMI over 30. So, yes, he has risk factors. We don’t need to be afraid, but we definitely need to be praying for him!

Age is tied to the comorbidities as older people tend to have more disease such as COPD, diabetes, heart disease etc. It’s not necessarily a comorbidity on its own.

Do you know for a fact his BMI is >30 or is that an assumption?

Yes, the docs on FNC (Dr. Ronny Jackson, Dr. Siegel, Dr. Marty McCary, Dr. Janette Neishwhat (sp?), Dr. Oz, etc.) have been reporting that Trump's BMI is 30 or so.

Praying hard for President Trump and First Lady Melania Trump!

I have high confidence they'll be just fine, as Louie Gohmert is now.

A BMI alone means nothing. There are plenty of people with “normal” BMI who look like bones and blubber with very little muscle mass and in poor health and there are those with a BMI of thirty or more who are muscular and powerful. Of course there are also those of low BMI who are weak and some who are very strong.

My own BMI is 28.6 and I weigh 235, people who don’t know me usually guess my weight at around 190. I am 76 and on 100 percent disability from VA for pulmonary fibrosis and am on borrowed time, having outlived my prognosis by two months at this point. Eight years ago I weighed 270 for a BMI of 32.9 at age 68 and was the strongest man in the neighborhood.
