Key findings include:
34.2 million Americans—just over 1 in 10—have diabetes.
88 million American adults—approximately 1 in 3—have prediabetes.
New diabetes cases were higher among non-Hispanic blacks and people of Hispanic origin than non-Hispanic Asians and non-Hispanic whites.
For adults diagnosed with diabetes:
New cases significantly decreased from 2008 through 2018.
The percentage of existing cases was highest among American Indians/Alaska Natives.
15% were smokers, 89% were overweight, and 38% were physically inactive.
37% had chronic kidney disease (stages 1 through 4); and fewer than 25% with moderate to severe chronic kidney disease (stage 3 or 4) were aware of their condition.
New diagnosed cases of type 1 and type 2 diabetes have significantly increased among US youth.
For ages 10 to 19 years, incidence of type 2 diabetes remained stable among non-Hispanic whites and increased for all others, especially non-Hispanic blacks.
The percentage of adults with prediabetes who were aware they had the condition doubled between 2005 and 2016, but most continue to be unaware.
Everyone needs to be careful to avoid the coronavirus that causes COVID-19. If you have type 1 or type 2 diabetes, you should be even more cautious.
Your risk of catching the virus isn't higher than anyone else's. But you could have worse complications if you do get sick. That's especially true if your diabetes isn't well-controlled.
People with diabetes are about three times more likely than the rest of the population to die from influenza or pneumonia, reports the Federal Centers for Disease Control.
Matthew 8:28-34
28 When He came to the other side into the country of the Gadarenes, two men who were demon-possessed met Him as they were coming out of the tombs. They were so extremely violent that no one could pass by that way. 29 And they cried out, saying, “[a]What business do we have with each other, Son of God? Have You come here to torment us before the time?” 30 Now there was a herd of many swine feeding at a distance from them. 31 The demons began to entreat Him, saying, “If You are going to cast us out, send us into the herd of swine.” 32 And He said to them, “Go!” And they came out and went into the swine, and the whole herd rushed down the steep bank into the sea and perished in the waters. 33 The herdsmen ran away, and went to the city and reported everything, including what had happened to the demoniacs. 34 And behold, the whole city came out to meet Jesus; and when they saw Him, they implored Him to leave their region.

Interesting idea, but since you mention Jesus a lot - how would you explain the Virus (deamons) talking to him asking not to be cast out, viruses does not talk:

Its just terminology really.
They were trying to describe things that they could not explain, understand, or observe with the limited knowledge and vocabulary available to them at the time.

The idea of virus' can be demons sounds exactly like something my wack job wingnut parents would have come up with. They were the type that kept us from school because the education system was the tool of the 'NWO', paranoid to have us vaccinated, and fanatical about religion to the point where it is unhealthy. I resented them so much that I left home at 15, never looked back and never spoken to them since and have done pretty good in life.
