Catching the Coronavirus: Who Is More at Risk of Severe Illness?

7. Individuals with other conditions

According to CDC, people with certain blood disorders, such as sickle cell anemia, and individuals who take blood thinners (such as Apixaban, Heparin, or Dabigatran) may be at higher risk for complications from COVID-19.

The National Institute on Drug Abuse also cautions that people who abuse drugs may be at higher risk, though they don’t have enough tests results to confirm this yet.

People who smoke tobacco or marijuana or who vape are already putting their lungs at risk, while opioids and methamphetamines put a lot of stress on the respiratory system.

However, we are not only referring to people who have underlying health problems and they are aware of them. Just think about how high the risk of developing complications from COVID-19 is for those who don’t have a roof over their heads.
