Just checked the risk factors and it's different from the list going around yesterday, but that BMI threshold and the last bullet point open it up to just about everyone
CDC conditions and risk factors Cancer Chronic heart disease Chronic lung disease including cystic fibrosis Kidney disease Diabetes Dementia or a neurologic condition Chronic liver disease Blood disorders Body mass index greater than 25 Past or current smoker HIV or tuberculous infection Weakened immune system Pregnancy Substance use disorders Mental health conditions Physically inactive Solid organ or blood stem cell transplant Any other conditions or situations that places you at higher risk of severe illness from COVID-19 (consult your pharmacist or medical provider if you need help)

We've been here before
Language Matters The large words displayed on the walls above you come directly from Civilian Exclusion Orders issued at the Presidio and posted in prominent public places throughout the West Coast. In the 1940s, the government used euphemisms to disguise their actions. Today we use words that are more accurate. Japanese American citizens and non-citizens were "non-aliens" and "aliens." Forced removal was called "evacuation." Incarceration was "internment." Detention centers were "assembly centers." Concentration camps were "relocation centers." Japanese American concentration camps in the U.S. were distinct from Nazi Germany's concentration camps, designed to exterminate people. The term concentration camp describes any site where minority groups are imprisoned by the government because of their identity, without due process, and with the implicit consent of the rest of society.

What if you just used your profits to avoid killing people and destroying their homes, PG&E?
Survey question asking How would you feel if your monthly energy bill increased by 20% (or about $20 per month on a $100 bill) in order for PG&E to consistently deliver on ensuring power lines and gas lines are safe and not harmful to the public?
