I don't like it. Does a general category for "high risk" actually exist in medicine. Or is it "high risk for X". If the general category does not exist, then this should be "people who are high risk for COVID", and then it should maybe be merged into a COVID article. I'm unconvinced that "high-risk" has any real medical meaning separate from a particular condition other than a dictionary definition.

I don't particularly see why "high risk for covid" should be so prominent in an article for "high risk" people. Surely we should speak about some other diseases.

An alternate suggestion; should it all be in the much older and perhaps more mature risk factor? Jim.henderson (talk) 20:27, 7 September 2021 (UTC)Reply
