people who don't have the risk factors have a very low risk.

These are the risk factors: diabetes, high blood pressure, obesity, smoking, depression, cognitive inactivity or low education, and physical inactivity.

As far as I know, none apply to Biden. He's physically fit and active, doesn't smoke or drink, has the social connections and interactions that many seniors don't (lacking those social connections is supposed to be a major risk factor), and so on.

If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for: Joe Biden
