One of the primary comorbidities of this coronavirus is weight.

Japan has an obesity rate of under 4%. They USA has an obesity rate in excess of 40%.

Other primary comorbidities include high blood pressure, diabetes, heart disease, and age.

With the unsurprising exception of age, the USA has higher rates of all of those.

That the USA has a higher death rate than Japan is to be expected.

Comment at $400??? (Score 1) 60

You forgot your trailing curly brace. You
will never be able to compile your code
without it. You should also change the
exit condition to a less than of equal to.
Presumably you would want to buy a PDA if
the price were less than $80.

It should read :
do {
sleep();
} until (price = 80);

In fact you might be better off with a while
loop. The do loop presupposes that no PDAs
currently exist at a price of $80. If you
executed your code you might find yourself
sleeping needlessly (I wonder if that is my
problem). Anyway you should try something like this:

while (price sleep(1);
}

P.S. I have assumed that you were meaning $80.
you should add some comments to remove confusion
over currency type. You may even want to go so
far as to define a "LegalTender" object to take
care of all monetary conversion.
