I'm probably misreading this, but I see "In this study, age ≥65 years, immunosuppression, diabetes, and chronic kidney, cardiac, pulmonary, neurologic, and liver disease were associated with higher odds for severe COVID-19 outcomes;" listed as the eight risk factors. Where are you seeing the ones you listed?

It comes from their full comorbidity tracking dataset: https://www.cdc.gov/nchs/data/health_policy/covid19-comorbid...

Some of these aren't common comorbidities, but they nonetheless factor in to the "died with N comorbidities" averages

Good news! The CDC does not identify every comorbidity as a risk factor. I’m glad they provide the data so you can make a more nuanced decision on your own.
