The probability of becoming infected and dying is analyzed in association with comorbidities. Results: since the 1980s there has been no significat change in health services, neither in health infrastructure; in that period there was an exponential increase in patients with diabetes, hypertension and obesity; From the total number of Covid-19 deaths registered up to the date of analysis, 65.8% suffered from at least one of the three co-morbidities; finally, the probability of dying from Covid-19 increases in men over 54 years of age who suffer from some co-morbidity.
