Meanwhile, 10 percent were severe patients and 5 percent were critical, the majority of whom had comorbidities or comorbidities.

These comorbid or comorbid diseases are the main factors in Covid-19 patients experiencing severe conditions that cause death.

“So, among those who died, 70-75 percent were due to comorbidities,” said Tonang when contacted Kompas.com, Saturday (5/9/2020).

There are several diseases that fall into the comorbid category.

These diseases include heart disease, hypertension, diabetes, asthma, high cholesterol, high uric acid, and other serious diseases.

Tonang said, these diseases are long-term diseases that do not automatically heal after being treated.

“Disease like that is long term, not like when you have a toothache, once it is treated it is finished. For heart disease, asthma, sugar, and others, the treatment continues,” he explained.

“That’s what is called a comorbid. People like that, if they are infected with Covid-19, then they are more at risk of worsening than those without comorbids,” said Tonang.

When asked about someone who initially did not experience any illness or symptoms and then suddenly worsened, Tonang could not say exactly what caused it.

This condition occurs in a number of patients, such as happy hypoxia. A patient who looks fine suddenly gets worse and experiences shortness of breath.

This is possible because of many factors that need further research.

Immunity plays a role in preventing the virus from dying and preventing it from being able to “do much.”

“Well, the virus actually has a certain time to survive before it dies,” said Tonang.

For the corona virus, continued Tonang, it has a life span of 14 days and will peak on the fifth day.

This is what makes some people experience rapid recovery after being positive for Covid-19.
