Any site that gives the stats for deaths / rate combining gender, age and medical conditions. I've seen the stats for each separate factor.

My wife is curious as she has asthma but is aged 45.

The only data I've seen so far is on the WorldoMeter site -

I'd be curious to see smoker vs non smoking.  

Some speculation that Italy had more smokers.

Italy had 100,000 Chinese workers from Wuhan who were regularly travelling back and forth on direct flights even after the outbreak. 
Their stats on rapid spread are very skewed and it’s probable that they had far more infections than they knew about.

An interesting question here. If someone has asthma and it is controlled by drugs will this affect them? I know 2 people with asthma, one takes daily medication and has not had an attack since initial diagnosis decades ago. Has had chest infections, coughs etc and not needed to use extra medication. Just yesterday he said that if he went for a run his legs would suffer first, then his heart and finally his lungs. 

The other wheezes sometimes and needs the blue inhaler regularly.

At the moment both are being lumped into the same 'at risk' group. 

The other thing is that the age groups for deaths are quite broad. The 40-49 age group has a 0.4% mortality rate and 50-59 is 1.3%. Then 60-69 is 3.6%. So is a 50 year old closer to the 0.4% than the 3.6%?

Hmm perhaps that £9Billion bargain version of HS2 isn't such a good idea!
