What is an "underlying condition"? Seems to be a convenient but ambiguous coat-hook onto which to hang statistics.

Is an "underlying condition" within the meaning of the death stats a respiratory condition? Does that cover, for example, asthma normally controlled by 4 puffs a day of Fostair? Does it cover people with a stomach ulcer, etc?

All too vague for this stage of the pandemic.
