People With Chronic Diseases At Higher Risk Of Virus Infection: Deepak Chopra To NDTV
Author Dr Deepak Chopra told NDTV that people who are suffering from chronic diseases have a higher risk of getting infected with the Coronavirus.
"In the last decade or so it's become clear that people who have chronic disease of any kind, including things like cancer or hearth disease or hypertension, or auto immune disease or frequent infection...all these people also have what is called, chronic inflammation in the body. They are corelated. So, all the people at risk right now from COVID19 are those who already have low grade chronic inflammation," he said.
